Answer:

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). Ohms are named after Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current and resistance

Which of the following choices defines energy in scientific terms?
snow_tiger [21]
1) B. Energy is the ability to do work

2) C. Energy is conserved, it just goes from one form to another.

3) Work = Force x displacement
= 300 x 100 = 30,000 Joules

4) leaning a brick because no displacement is taking place.

5) They change the amount/strength or direction of the force needed.

6) Less force is needed and applied over a longer distance.

7) Heat is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another.

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to
algol13

Answer:

gamma rays  < X-ray  < ultraviolet ray < visible light < infrared  < radio wave

Explanation:

given light form,

A) radio waves,B) infrared,C) visible light,D) ultraviolet,E) X-rays,F) gamma rays

we know,

wavelength of radio wave = 10000 Km

wavelength of infrared = 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm)

wavelength of visible light = 380 to 740 nm

wavelength of ultraviolet ray = 10 nm to 400 nm

wavelength of X-ray =  0.01 to 10 nm

wavelength of gamma rays = 100 picometer

so, the order of rays.

gamma rays  < X-ray  < ultraviolet ray < visible light < infrared  < radio wave

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy and how do they work?
Iteru [2.4K]

To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:

PE = mgh\\KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

<h3>Potential energy </h3>

Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity.  An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>.  If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy.  Example:

An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2).  What is the object's gravitational potential energy?  <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)

(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)

<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion.  An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary).  An example:

An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s.  What is the object's kinetic energy?  (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)

<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>

Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy.  If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both.  To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together.  An example:

An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s.  What is the objects mechanical (total) energy?  (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)
