Mechanical waves travel the fastest in solids and liquids because the molecules are more closely packed together than gases, so energy is transferred from one particle to another particle faster.

When Anna eats an apple, the sugars in that apple are broken down into the substance called glucose. Glucose is then burned in h

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy and electrical energy.

Explanation:

The sugar present in the apple is broken down into Glucose. This is chemical energy stored in the apple which is broken down into energy which is utilized by body for everyday works. The chemical energy gets converted to thermal energy which warms the body and electrical energy due to which the heart beats.

Calculate the volume of 19 kilograms of petrol if the density of petrol is 800 kg/m?

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

i hope this will help you :)

Explanation:

mass=19kg

density=800kg/m³

volume=?

as we know that

density=mass/volume

density×volume=mass

volume=mass/density

putting the values

volume=19kg/800kg/m³

so volume=0.02375≈0.02m³

Give an example of a force applied to an object that does not change the object's velocity. Why does the object's velocity not c

Xelga [282]

Answer:

A chair at rest on the floor has two forces acting on it its own weight that pulls it downward and the floor pushing upward on the chair, both of these forces are acting on it but the net force is 0, so the chair remains at rest and its velocity stays at 0.

A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx =2t2m/s, where t is in s. its initial position

Nesterboy [21]

The position of the object at time t =2.0 s is 6.4 m.

Velocity vₓ of a body is the rate at which the position x of the object changes with time.

Therefore,

$v_x= \frac{dx}{dt}$

Write an equation for x.

$dx=v_xdt\\ x=\int v_xdt$

Substitute the equation for vₓ =2t² in the integral.

$x=\int v_xdt\\ =\int2t^2dt\\ =\frac{2t^3}{3} +C$

Here, the constant of integration is C and it is determined by applying initial conditions.

When t =0, x = 1. 1m

$x= \frac{2t^3}{3} +C\\ x_0=1.1\\ x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m$

Substitute 2.0s for t.

$x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m\\ =\frac{2(2.0)^3}{3} +1.1\\ =6.43 m$

The position of the particle at t =2.0 s is 6.4m

2. A 20 cm object is placed 10cm in front of a convex lens of focal length 5cm. Calculate

adoni [48]

Answer:

 » Image distance :

${ \tt{ \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f} }} \\$

v is image distance
u is object distance, u is 10 cm
f is focal length, f is 5 cm

${ \tt{ \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{5} }} \\ \\ { \tt{ \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{10} }} \\ \\ { \tt{v = 10}} \\ \\ { \underline{ \underline{ \pmb{ \red{ \: image \: distance \: is \: 10 \: cm \: \: }}}}}$

 » Magnification :

• Let's derive this formula from the lens formula:

${ \tt{ \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f} }} \\$

» Multiply throughout by fv

${ \tt{fv( \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} ) = fv( \frac{1}{f} )}} \\ \\ { \tt{ \frac{fv}{v} + \frac{fv}{u} = \frac{fv}{f} }} \\ \\ { \tt{f + f( \frac{v}{u} ) = v}}$

• But we know that, v/u is M

${ \tt{f + fM = v}} \\ { \tt{f(1 +M) = v }} \\ { \tt{1 +M = \frac{v}{f} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \mathfrak{formular : } \: { \tt{ M = \frac{v}{f} - 1 }}}}$

v is image distance, v is 10 cm
f is focal length, f is 5 cm
M is magnification.

${ \tt{M = \frac{10}{5} - 1 }} \\ \\ { \tt{M = 5 - 1}} \\ \\ { \underline{ \underline{ \pmb{ \red{ \: magnification \: is \: 4}}}}}$

 » Nature of Image :

Image is magnified
Image is erect or upright
Image is inverted
Image distance is identical to object distance.
