Explain why water buckets are narrow at the base and wider at the top

Melissa uses bags of mulch that way 40 pounds each. She needs to carry 10 bags to her truck. She usually carries one bag at a ti

arsen [322]

No. She would be doing the same amount of work that way. Work is defined to be equal to the force multiplied by the distance. Carrying two bags at a time would cause her to exert twice the effort, so the total amount of work done in the end would still be the same.

The diagram below represents a flashlight that has been turned on. Which form of energy is being converted to electrical energy

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Chemical energy to electrical energy

Explanation:

In nature, there are several types of energy.

In this example (a flashlight being turned on), we have a conversion of energy from chemical energy to electrical energy. In fact:

- Chemical energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules of the substances used inside the battery. When the chemical reaction inside the battery occurs, this energy is liberated, and it is used to "push" the electrons along the circuit connected to the battery

- Electric energy is the energy associated to the motion of the electrons along the circuit of the flashlight; it is the energy associated to an electric current.

Moreover, in the flashlight the electric energy is then converted into two more types of energy: light energy (since the bulb in the flashlight produces light) and heat energy (because the flashlight also produces heat, so thermal energy).

A proton, an alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus), and a singly ionized helium atom are accelerated through a potential differ

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The correct question is:

"Find the energy each gains"

The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by

$\Delta U = q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

For a proton,

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

And since $\Delta V=100 V$

The energy gained by the proton is

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

For an alpha particle,

$q=+2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Therefore, the energy gained is

$\Delta U=(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=3.2\cdot 10^{-17}J$

Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

So the energy gained is the same as the proton:

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

Why do radio waves have the lowest frequency of all the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum?

lara [203]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are created as the result of the electrical waves which are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:

radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

The energy of the radio waves photons is the lowest of all the other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Also, $E={h\times \nu}$

Where,

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

Thus, energy is directly proportional to the frequency. The radio waves have the lowest frequency.

A potential difference of 24 V is applied to a 150-ohm resistor. How much current flows through the resistor?

Lady_Fox [76]

Given :- A resistor of 150 ohm, hence Resistance (R) = 150 ohm

Potential Difference (v) = 24 V

Current (I) = ?

V = IR

24 = I × 150

I = 24/150

I = 0.16 ampere

hope it helps!
