The correct answer is:
The rate at which a waves energy flows through a given unit of area

In fact, light intensity is defined as the light power per unit of area:
 $I= \frac{P}{A}$
but the power is the energy carried by the light per unit of time:
 $P= \frac{E}{t}$
this means that the intensity can be rewritten as
 $I= \frac{E}{tA}$ 
So, it's basically the rate of energy (per unit of time) through a given surface.

Please help! Calculate velocity. Show all work!

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

v = 23.66 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motion may be expressed:

v² = u² + 2as,

Where

v = final velocity (we are asked to find this)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s since we are told that it starts from rest

a = acceleration = 0.56m/s²

s = distance traveled = given as 500m

Simply substitute the known values into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2(0.56)(500)

v² = 560

v = √560

v = 23.66 m/s

How do two objects at different temperatures attain thermal equilibrium?

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

C.As the two objects touch, thermal energy flows as heat from the warmer block to the colder block until particles in both blocks move at the same rate and reach the same temperature.

Explanation:

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from an object at higher temperature to an object at colder temperature.

The temperature of an object is a measure of how fast the particles in the object move: the higher its temperature, the faster the particles move, the higher the average kinetic energy of the particles in the object. As a result, the particles of the object at higher temperature tend to transfer more energy (called thermal energy) to the particles of the object at colder temperature by colliding with them: this process continues until the particles of the colder object reach the same average kinetic energy as the particles of the warmer object, and this means that the two objects have reached the same temperature.

Which of these is an experiment generally regarded as being first carried out by James Joule?

Sholpan [36]

1. The correct answer among the choices provided is the third option. Measuring the temperature increase of water from doing work by stirring it is an experiment generally regarded as being first carried out by James Joule.
2. Joule's experiment directly shows that heat is a form of energy. He wanted to make a different way of measuring energy.
