Robert is hosting a backyard barbecue. He uses a charcoal fire to grill the chicken. The chicken cooks, but it never touches the

fire directly. What energy transformation occurs as the chicken cooks?

Answer:

From chemical energy, to thermal energy. Which can be transfered via radiation or convection.

Explanation:

In our world, energy is constantly changing from one form, to another. The most basic law of physics is that energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, it can only change form.

This law allows us to do many calculations accurately.

In cooking, you have a source of energy, that heats up food, and then the food is cooked. In the question, there are a few energy convertions that take place.

The chemical energy stored in the coal is being released in the form of thermal energy.

When thermal energy is released, it can be transfered into the environment in three ways. Conduction, convection, and radiation.

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through two objects that are in direct contact with each other. However, since the question stated that the chicken doesn't directly touch the fire, conduction cannot occur.

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy, through a medium (usually air. In this example, the chicken is on a barbeque, so what happens is the charcoal transfers the thermal energy to the air around it, and when air heats up, it rises and transfers its energy to the environment as it rises (in this case, it would transfer a lot of that heat to the chicken).

Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy, without the need for a medium. We usually think of radiation as coming from the sun, and this is true because infrared waves are a form of radiation that can travel through space. Since the coal is producing radiation, it will travel until it comes into contact with something, this could be the chicken directly above it, or the people around the fire.

As the chicken cooks (and if it doesn't directly touch the fire), energy goes through the chemical, radiant, then thermal stages respectively.

The charcoal fire releases chemical energy. The heat of the fire is radiant, and the thermal (heat) of the fire cooks the chicken.

A monochromatic light beam is incident on a barium target that has a work function of 2.50 \mathrm{eV} . If a potential differen
leva [86]

The wavelength of the light beam required to turn back all the ejected electrons is 497 nm which is option (b).

  • Work function is a material property defined as the minimum amount of energy  required to infinitely remove electrons from the surface of a particular solid.
  • The potential difference required to support all emitted electrons is called the stopping potential which is given by v_0=\frac{K.E_m_a_x}{e} .....(1)
  • where v_0 is the stopping potential and e is the charge of the electron given by 1.6\times10^-^1^9 .

It is given that work function (Ф) of monochromatic light is 2.50 eV.

Einstein photoelectric equation  is given by:

K.E_m_a_x=E-\phi      ....(2)

where K.E(max) is the maximum kinetic energy.

Substituting (1) into (2) , we get

  ev_0=E-\phi\\1.6\times10^{-19} \times1=E-2.50\\E=1.6\times10^{-19}+2.50\\E=2.50eV

As we know that E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}  ....(3)

where Speed of light,c = 3\times10^8 m/s and Planck's constant , h = 6.63\times 10^-^1^9Js = 4.14\times 10^-^1^5 eVs

From equation (3) , we get

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E} \\\\\lambda=\frac{  4.14\times 10^-^1^5 \times 3 \times10^8}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=\frac{1240\times10^-^9}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=496.8\times10^-^9\\\\\lambda=497nm

In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation
Yakvenalex [24]
<span>In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation if the independent variable changes because of changes made to the dependent variable. Causation works on cause and effect, so the changed independent variable is the cause and the changed dependent variable is the effect. In an experiment the independent variable is changed to determine the dependent variables value, so the two are directly related.</span>

a pool ball leaves a 0.60-meter high table with an initial high table with an initial horizontal velocity of 2.4m/s. what is the
inysia [295]

Answer:

0.84 m

Explanation:

Given in the y direction:

Δy = 0.60 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

0.60 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.35 s

Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 2.4 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.35 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (2.4 m/s) (0.35 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.35 s)²

Δx = 0.84 m

Three out of four crashes happen at a speed of __________ miles per hour or less.
Nitella [24]
<span>The answer is 45 miles per hour or even less. Most crashes occur at a speed of 45 miles per hour or even less, and most of these accidents occur close to our homes. These crashes may also be caused by different factors, such as being drunk or sudden occurrences that are not controllable, which is why it is best to precede with caution when driving at crowded areas.</span>
