What type of energy results from the burning of wood or gasoline?

Physics
1 answer:
Sonja [21]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Chemical energy

Explanation:

Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of chemical energy. Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy when people burn wood in a fireplace or burn gasoline in a car's engine.

If only an external force can change the velocity of a body, how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest? 1. It
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Explanation:

If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.

You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.

The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.

What is not an example of Absorption? (Physics)
amm1812

When a light wave strikes an object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted by the object. All objects have a degree of reflection and absorption. ... In the natural world, light can also be transmitted by an object. That is, light can pass through an object with no effect (an x-ray, for example).

Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer
tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m

That just depends on the mass of the object and I think it will accelerate forwards

Radiation from the Sun The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. T
Zina [86]

a) Total power output: 3.845\cdot 10^{26} W

b) The relative percentage change of power output is 1.67%

c) The intensity of the radiation on Mars is 540 W/m^2

Explanation:

a)

The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is given by

I=\frac{P}{A}

where

P is the power output

A is the surface area considered

In this problem, we have

I=1360 W/m^2 is the intensity of the solar radiation at the Earth

The area to be considered is area of a sphere of radius

r=1.5\cdot 10^{11} m (distance Earth-Sun)

Therefore

A=4\pi r^2 = 4 \pi (1.5\cdot 10^{11})^2=2.8\cdot 10^{23}m^2

And now, using the first equation, we can find the total power output of the Sun:

P=IA=(1360)(2.8\cdot 10^{23})=3.845\cdot 10^{26} W

b)

The energy of the solar radiation is directly proportional to its frequency, given the relationship

E=hf

where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant, f is the frequency.

Also, the power output of the Sun is directly proportional to the energy,

P=\frac{E}{t}

where t is the time.

This means that the power output is proportional to the frequency:

P\propto f

Here the frequency increases by 1 MHz: the original frequency was

f_0 = 60 MHz

so the relative percentage change in frequency is

\frac{\Delta f}{f_0}\cdot 100 = \frac{1}{60}\cdot 100 =1.67\%

And therefore, the power also increases by 1.67 %.

c)

In this second  case, we have to calculate the new power output of the Sun:

P' = P + \frac{1.67}{100}P =1.167P=1.0167(3.845\cdot 10^{26})=3.910\cdot 10^{26} W

Now we want to calculate the intensity of the radiation measured on Mars. Mars is 60% farther from the Sun than the Earth, so its distance from the Sun is

r'=(1+0.60)r=1.60r=1.60(1.5\cdot 10^{11})=2.4\cdot 10^{11}m

Now we can find the radiation intensity with the equation

I=\frac{P}{A}

Where the area is

A=4\pi r'^2 = 4\pi(2.4\cdot 10^{11})^2=7.24\cdot 10^{23} m^2

And substituting,

I=\frac{3.910\cdot 10^{26}}{7.24\cdot 10^{23}}=540 W/m^2
