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.
I hope this helped!

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.

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.

A force of 100 newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the
valentina_108 [34]


work is distance * force so 15*100=1500

and to find time you know power = diastance * force / time

so 25=15*100/t

25=1500/t

25/1500=t

.016=time

Calculate the velocity of a 1650kg satellite that is in a circular orbit of 4.2 x 10^6m above the surface of a planet which has
Anastasy [175]
-- We're going to be talking about the satellite's speed. 
"Velocity" would include its direction at any instant, and
in a circular orbit, that's constantly changing.

-- The mass of the satellite makes no difference.

Since the planet's radius is  3.95 x 10⁵m  and the satellite is
orbiting  4.2 x 10⁶m  above the surface, the radius of the
orbital path itself is

                               (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (4.2 x 10⁶m)

                     =        (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (42 x 10⁵m)

                     =           45.95 x 10⁵ m

The circumference of the orbit is  (2 π R) =  91.9 π x 10⁵ m.

The bird completes a revolution every 2.0 hours,
so its speed in orbit is

                                     (91.9 π x 10⁵ m) / 2 hr

                        =        45.95 π x 10⁵  m/hr  x  (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

                        =           0.04 x 10⁵      m/sec

                        =              4 x 10³      m/sec  

                                     (4 kilometers per second)

A mother pushes a baby stroller 10 meters by applying 40 newtons of force. how much work was done?
topjm [15]
Based on the situation above the the work done was 400 Joules. <span>Q = FS cos(theta) is the so-called work function. It's important to learn the work physics; you'll see it over and over in science/physics class. Theta is the angle between the force vector F and the distance vector S. In your problem we assume theta = 0, the two vectors were assumed aligned.</span>
