A lava lamp is a decorative item found in some homes. The lamp portion contains a waxy substance in a liquid medium. When the la

mp is plugged in, a bulb at the base of the lamp slowly heats the waxy substance sitting at the bottom of the liquid. Eventually, the waxy substance will separate into globs that quickly rise to the top of the lamp where the surrounding liquid cools them and causes them to fall back to the bottom. Based on the information provided, a lava lamp could be used to provide an example of which process of thermal energy transfer?

Answer:

Conduction, convection, and radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is the process in which energy is transferred from a hot body to a cooler body. Convection is a process by which heat is transferred as a result of the movement of heated fluid in the form of air or water. Radiation refers to the transmission of energy through a material medium.

Based on the information provided, a lava lamp could be used to provide an example of conduction, convection, and radiation.

How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?
charle [14.2K]
<span>The change in internal energy is only gravitional PE because the tube is being drug up at a constant speed. Since it is at a constant speed, the change in KE is 0. Change in PE = m*g*h = 78 kg * 10 m/s^2 * 30 m = 23400 J Work done on the system is from the force Work = force * distance = 350 N * 120 m = 42000 J So, work added 42000 J to the system, but the rider's energy only increased 23400 J. Therefore, friction took up the difference. Friction is where the thermal energy comes from Q = 42000 J - 23400 J = 18600 J. Therfore, friction generated 18600 J of heat to the surroundings.</span>

A bird sits on top of a 639 m tall tower. If it's gravitational potential energy up there is 2033 J, what is its mass?
iris [78.8K]

The mass of the bird is 0.32 kg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential energy, the energy exhibited by an object at rest due to the influence of gravitational force. So the increase in distance of object from the surface of earth leads to increase in the gravitational potential energy. Thus,

       \text {Gravitational potential energy}=m \times \text { Acceleration } \times \text { Distance of bird from bottom }

So, as the gravitational potential energy is given as 2033 J and the position of bird placed on the tall tower is 639 m away from the bottom, then the mass (m) of the bird can be found as below.

       m o f \text { bird }=\frac{\text {Gravitational potential energy}}{a \times \text {Distance}}=\frac{2033}{9.8 \times 639}=\frac{2033}{6262.2}

So, finally we get the bird's mass as,

            m of bird = 0.32 kg
