Tyrel is learning about a certain kind of metal used to make satellites. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the metal,
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: yes.

Explanation: The light that will be incidented on that metal is visible light.

It depends on 3 factors:

1. The temperature

2. The specific heat capacity of the metal

3. The thermal conductivity of the metal.

The metal getting warmer also depend on the reflection and the absorption of light energy in which it will surely absorb some energy and not reflect all.

When visible light is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This causes the object to get warmer.

A person standing for a long time gets tired when he does not appear to do any work .why?​
Keith_Richards [23]

Explanation:

A person standing still for a long time feels tired because the force of gravity acts on our body and puts stress on our muscles. so our muscles need energy to do work and keep body balanced and help to stand upright.

Define kinetic energy and thermal energy. Describe what happens to each as the temperature of a substances increases.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the amount of energy a object has while it's in motion, and thermal energy is heat energy. In this case when the heat rises in substances for example a solid it will transform into a liquid causing the molecules to move faster which is a increase of kinetic energy.

Suppose that a sound source is emitting waves uniformly in all directions. If you move to a point twice as far away from the sou
Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>d. unchanged.</em>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.

In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from

v = fλ

that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.

where v is the speed of the sound wave

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.
