A generator transforms mechanical into electrical, a transformer reduces/increases the voltage of an alternating current, a magnet attracts metal, and a motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
So, the answer is Motor.
Answer:
Infrared photons carry lower radiation energy than the visible light.
Explanation:
- Each photon carries an energy that is directly proportional to its frequency, being this proportionality constant the Planck's constant h.
- So, we can write the energy of a single photon as follows:
- Since there exists an inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency, and infrared radiation has longer wavelengths, this means that its frequency is lower than the one of the visible light.
- So, an infrared photon carries less energy that one of the visible light.
<u>Answer:</u>
2.39 kg
<u>Explanation:</u>
There is conservation of momentum here in this problem so we will use the following problem:
where the mass of the student 
is 48.5 kg,
the mass of the skateboard 
is kg,
the initial speed of the student 
is 4.25 m/s; and
the speed of the student and skateboard 
is 4.05 m/s.
So substituting the given values in the above formula to get:
Therefore, the mass of the skateboard is 2.39 kg.
This is more along the lines of "Does gravity affext potential energy"
Sort of. Potential energy is an odd one to imagine, sometimes.
It's the energy possessed by an object or system by dint of it's spatial
and mechanical configuration.
That definition alone is perhaps not so useful...and it's certainly not
official. But what it means is that an object can potentially have
energy due to where it is or what state the system is in.
Imagine we have a box and it's on the floor. The box, for all intents
and purposes, has no potential energy. It isn't going anywhere and it
just sits on the floor. It can't do any work in it's current position.
Now we hoist the box into the air. For any distance the box travels from
the floor, it gains potential energy. Now let's back track. We've
changed the box's spatial configuration by hoisting it into the air and
so have given it potential energy.
Why does it now have potential energy? Because we can now drop the box
(costing us no energy) and the box will fall. Maybe it falls onto a
passer-by and injures them.
Box on the floor = No energy.
We lift the box = We spend our energy and give the box potential energy
(as it wants to fall toward the ground).
We drop the box = Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the
box falls.
Box injures someone = The kinetic energy has done work upon the person.
So we can see how it all flows and connects. We have to put energy into
the box to fight against gravity, but you can't destroy or create
energy....so the energy we've spent is potentially stored 'inside' the
box.
Clearly, gravity effects a LOT of potential energies around us. In fact
to some small extent, it's probably impossible to entirely avoid it's
effects.
