Answer:

1. Thermal Energy is the internal energy that is produced from the temperature of a heated substance/object.

2. From the potato to the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room

Explanation:

1. When an object or substance is heated it causes a rise in temperature which makes the atoms and molecules within the object move/vibrate faster and collide with each other. This kinetic energy energy comes from the temperature of the object being heated and is the thermal energy.

2. The atoms present in a hot object have higher kinetic energy when compared to a colder object and usually flow towards the colder object. This is why it is possible for the hot potato whose temperature is higher than the bowl of soup to flow towards the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room.

Amy is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward; and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westw
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

20 m/s westward

Explanation:

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B = +5 m/s is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_C = -15 m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B = +5 m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_C' = v_C - v_B = -15 m/s - (+5 m/s) = -20 m/s

and the direction will be westward (negative sign).

A film of soapy water on top of a plastic cutting board has a thickness of 255 nm. What wavelength and color is most strongly re
Alona [7]

Answer:

the reflected wavelength is lano = 4.55 10⁻⁷ m which corresponds to the blue color

Explanation:

This is a case of reflection interference, we must be careful

* There is a 180º phase change when light passes from the air to the soap film (n = 1,339), but there is no phase change when passing from the pomp to the plastic (n = 1.3)

* the wavelength within the film is modulated by the refractive index

     λₙ =  λ₀ / n

if we consider these relationships the condition for constructive interference is

     2 t = (m + ½)  λₙ

     2t = (m + ½)  λ₀ / n

      λ₀ = 2t n / (m + ½)

we substitute the values

      λ₀= 2 255 10⁻⁹ 1,339 / (m + ½)

      λ₀  = 6.829 10⁻⁷ (m + ½)

let's calculate the wavelength for various interference orders

m = 0

       λ₀ = 6.829 10⁻⁷/ ( 0 +   ½ )

       λ₀ = 13.6 10⁻⁷

       it is not visible

m = 1

      λ₀ = 6,829 10⁻⁷/ (1 + ½)

       λ₀ = 4.55 10⁻⁷

      color blue

m = 2

      λ₀ = 6.829 10⁻⁷ / (2 + ½)

      λ₀ = 2,7 10⁻⁷

   it is not visible

therefore the reflected wavelength is lano = 4.55 10⁻⁷ m which corresponds to the blue color
