Because energy is conserved, the energy that was moving the electrons forward is converted to heat energy. It can also be converted to light energy, as in the filament in a light bulb.

Explanation:

When electron flow is resisted, some of the energy in the electrons does not travel through all the way. Because energy is conserved, the energy that was moving the electrons forward is converted to heat energy. It can also be converted to light energy, as in the filament in a light bulb.

Plates move apart at ____ boundaries.
Keith_Richards [23]
<span>The correct answer is C. divergent. Divergent boundaries are something like lines found between two tectonic plates. These constructive boundaries, or extensional boundaries, are formed and exist between two tectonic plates that move away from each other. Convergent would thus be where they meet. This is all according to the tectonic theory.</span>

What best describes the degree to which a material can transmit heat
serious [3.7K]
The material can transmit heat by energy transfer through collision of atoms. The elements that has a high ability of transmitting heat within their material are the metals. They are said to have high thermal conductivity. As the metal heats up, because the atoms are closely packed, they easily transfer heat through conduction. For example, copper is used in electrical wirings because it has a high thermal conductivity.

A uniform 1.0-N meter stick is suspended horizontally by vertical strings attached at each end. A 2.0-N weight is suspended from
fgiga [73]

Answer:

3.5 N

Explanation:

Let the 0-cm end be the moment point. We know that for the system to be balanced, the total moment about this point must be 0. Let's calculate the moment at each point, in order from 0 to 100cm

- Tension of the string attached at the 0cm end is 0 as moment arm is 0

- 2 N weight suspended from the 10 cm position: 2*10 = 20 Ncm clockwise

- 2 N weight suspended from the 50 cm position: 2*50 = 100 Ncm clockwise

- 1 N stick weight at its center of mass, which is 50 cm position, since the stick is uniform: 1*50 = 50 Ncm clockwise

- 3 N weight suspended from the 60 cm position: 3*60 = 180 Ncm clockwise

- Tension T (N) of the string attached at the 100-cm end: T*100 = 100T Ncm counter-clockwise.

Total Clockwise moment = 20 + 100 + 50 + 180 = 350Ncm

Total counter-clockwise moment = 100T

For this to balance, 100 T = 350

so T = 350 / 100 = 3.5 N

the velocity of sound on a particular day outside is 331 meter/sound. what is the frequency of a tone if it has a wavelength 0.6
nataly862011 [7]
The frequency (f) in hertz (1/s) of the sound waves is the quotient when its speed (S) is divided by the wavelength (n). This is mathematically expressed, 
 
                      f = S / n      ;    f = (331 m/s) / (0.6 m)    =   551.67 / s  

Thus, the frequency of the wave is 551.67 Hz.
