Energy cannot be created or destroyed. This statement is known as law of conservation of energy, and it implies that whenever a certain form of energy does change, the loss of this form of energy must have converted into an another type of energy. A typical example is an object falling to the ground: initially, the object has gravitational potential energy. As the object falls down, it loses potential energy (since its altitude from the ground decreases), but it acquires kinetic energy (because its velocity increases). In this example, potential energy has converted into kinetic energy, but the total energy of the object has remained constant.

Describe how the three methods of thermal energy transfer may take place within the iguana’s enclosure.
sasho [114]

Answer:

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat.  Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object as is the case with conduction and convection. Heat can be transmitted through empty space by thermal radiation often called infrared radiation.

Consider a coin which is tossed straight up into the air. After it is released it moves upward, reaches its highest point and fa
avanturin [10]

Answer:

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

Explanation:

We may have noticed that a body thrown upward in air falls back down again after attaining a particular height. The object was able to fall down back due to the effect of gravity acting on it. If there are no force of gravity acting on the body, the body will not fall back but rather disappears into the thin air.

A coin tossed upward in the air which falls back down when released is therefore under the influence of gravity i.e GRAVITATIONAL FORCE while it moves upward after it is released

What would be the daughter product of the beta decay of lead-212 and what would be the daughter product of the alpha decay of po
kati45 [8]

Answer:

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

Explanation:

Beta decay occurs when a neutron emits an electron and an anti neutrino from the atomic nucleus, therefore the atomic number of the material increases by one unit.

           Pb + e + ν → Bi

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

In alpha decay, a helium nucleus is emitted from the nucleus of the atom, therefore the atomic number decreases by two units.

         Po +α → Pb

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

Using kinematic equation, v^2 - u^2 = 2as. 5^2 - 3^2 = 2a x 16. a = 0.5m/s^2. So particle will deaccelerate at 0.5m/s^2. ( v = final velocity, u= initial velocity, a= acceleration, s= displacement.)
