Answer: The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the internal energy of the object due to the motion of the particles.

The kinetic energy is due to the motion of the particles. If the system has kinetic energy then it will have thermal energy.

When the object's atoms move faster then the thermal energy increases.

Therefore, the correct answer is thermal energy.

When an object's atoms move faster, its thermal energy increases and the object becomes warmer.

Denis throws a ball downward at an initial speed of 15 m/s from the top of a cliff. (a)

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Multiply the time by the acceleration due to gravity to find the velocity when the object hits the ground. If it takes 9.9 seconds for the object to hit the ground, its velocity is (1.01 s)*(9.8 m/s^2), or 9.9 m/s.

Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in a closed, rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase.

exis [7]

The atoms/ particles that are in the gas have gotten energy from the heat, because of that, they zoom around the container, putting pressure on it :) hope it helps :)

State two other ways in which evaporation is different from boiling

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

To summarize, evaporation is slower, occurs only from the surface of the liquid, does not produce bubbles, and leads to cooling. Boiling is faster, can occur throughout the liquid, produces lots of bubbles, and does not result in cooling.

The earth rotates once per day about an axis passing through the north and south poles, an axis that is perpendicular to the pla

Vladimir [108]

Answer

given,

Radius of sphere = 6.38 × 10⁶ m

time = 1 day = 86400 s

$\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

$\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{ 86400 }$

$\omega = 7.272 \times 10^{-5}\ rad/s$

a) at equator

$v = R_E \omega$

$v = 6.38 \times 10^6\times 7.272 \times 10^{-5}$

v = 464 m/s

acceleration of the person

$a = \omega^2R_E$

$a = (7.272 \times 10^{-5})^2(6.38 \times 10^6)$

$a = 0.03374 m/s^2$

b) at a latitude of 61.0 ° north of the equator.

$R = R_E cos \theta$

$R = 6.38 \times 10^6\times cos 61^0$

$R = 3.093 \times 10^6 m$

$v = R \omega$

$v = 3.093 \times 10^6 \times 7.272 \times 10^{-5}$

$v = 225 m/s$

acceleration of the person

$a = \omega^2R_E$

$a = (7.272 \times 10^{-5})^2(3.093 \times 10^6 )$

$a = 0.01635 m/s^2$

A steel fork and a plastic spoon are both at the same temperature. The fork feels colder when you touch it. This is because:

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: The fork feels colder when you touch it because Steel conducts thermal energy better than plastic. The correct statement is 1

Explanation:

The ability of a material to transfer heat energy in an environment is known as thermal conductivity. It feels cooler to touch a steel spoon than a plastic spoon found in the same temperature because steel which is a type of metal is a highly efficient thermal conductor than spoon which is a plastic.

Metals can be defined as those substances which forms positive ion in a chemical reaction by lossing it's electrons. It has the following properties:

--> it is solid at room temperature

--> it has high melting point

--> it has high boiling point and

--> it is malleable.

Metals are said to be good thermal conductor because they contain free flowing conduction electrons. Therefore, when you touch a steel spoon and plastic spoon, it feels cooler because the steel metal is able to conduct heat away from your hand faster than the plastic which is a poor conductor of heat.
