Answer:

Electric potential energy in the battery transforms to electric energy. Electric energy transforms to motion energy (spinning fan blades), sound energy (noise), and thermal energy (a warm motor).

Answer:

Chemical energy to electrical energy to mechanical and thermal energy

Explanation:

In the rotating fan, the chemical energy stored in the battery is used to generate electrical energy.

The electrolytes within the battery undergoes chemical reactions that produces electric current.

The current is being used to drive the motor of the fan to produce a mechanical energy as it rotates.
In like manner, heat energy is also produced.
So, energy is simply being transformed from one form to the other in this system.

Examine the spectra of the four unknown substances shown below. What can you conclude?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Line spectra are obtained when individual elements are heated using a high-voltage electrical discharge. This heating causes excitation of the element and a subsequent emission of distinct lines of colored light are obtained. Each element has its own unique emission line spectrum; therefore, if any of the tested substances were the same, their spectra would match. However, this is not the case so none of the substances are the same.
hope it helps!

A 6.7kg object moves with a velocity of 8m/s. What's its kinetic energy?

Snezhnost [94]

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 6.7kg

Velocity = 8m/s

Unknown parameter:

Kinetic energy = ?

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy;

Kinetic and potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest.

Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as;

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

where m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity of the body

Since we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown;

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 6.7 x 8² = 214.4‬J

So the kinetic energy of the body is 214.4‬J

Light of wavelength 436.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.31 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is "4.26 m".

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

$\lambda = 436.1 \ nm$

or,

$=436.1\times 10^{-9} \ m$

Distance,

$d = 0.31 \ mm$

or,

$=0.31\times 10^{-3} \ m$

Distance between the 1st and 2nd dark fringes,

$(y_2-y_1) = 6\times 10^{-3} \ m$

As we know,

⇒ $\frac{d}{L} (y_2-y_1) = \lambda$

or,

⇒ $L=\frac{d(y_2-y_1)}{\lambda}$

By substituting the values, we get

$=\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^{-6}}{436.1\times 10^{-9}}$

$=\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^3}{436.1}$

$=\frac{1860}{436.1}$

$=4.26 \ m$

For a long ideal solenoid having a circular cross-section, the magnetic field strength within the solenoid is given by the equat

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Radius of the solenoid is 0.93 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The magnetic field strength within the solenoid is given by the equation,

$B(t)=5t\ T$ , t is time in seconds

$\dfrac{dB}{dt}=5\ T$

The induced electric field outside the solenoid is 1.1 V/m at a distance of 2.0 m from the axis of the solenoid, x = 2 m

The electric field due to changing magnetic field is given by :

$E(2\pi x)=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

x is the distance from the axis of the solenoid

$E(2\pi x)=\pi r^2\dfrac{dB}{dt}$ , r is the radius of the solenoid

$r^2=\dfrac{2xE}{(dE/dt)}$

$r^2=\dfrac{2\times 2\times 1.1}{(5)}$

r = 0.93 meters

So, the radius of the solenoid is 0.93 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
