A lightning bolt occurs when billions of protons are transferred at the same time?
yes!
Why is electricity a form of kinetic energy?
I believe electrical energy is considered potential energy and not kinetic. Kinetic energy is when an object is moving, electrical energy is a stored energy that can be converted to kinetic energy.
Table salt is formed when an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a?
chlorine atom (the answer is C if you have the same paper as I do)
What happens when two objects that have different temperatures touch?
Heat will flow from the object that has the higher temperature, to the one with the lower temperature. This will continue until equilibrium is reached, i.e., both objects have the same temperature.
Where is Tidal Energy found on Earth?
There is a large tidal energy scheme at Rance in northern France. There are smaller ones in other parts of the world. Tidal mills were once fairly common in Britain. Tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon. These forces translate into high and low tides, on the earth. Tidal energy is transferred from the moon to the earth by tidal torque. This results in tidal lock. This is why you always see the same side of the moon
Is energy only transferred by heating if there is no temperature difference?
Heat can only be transferred if there IS a temperature difference. (If two objects have the same temperature, nothing will happen).
Why arn't work and energy the same?
Work and energy use the same units; but the term "work" is used in the sense of "transfer of energy" (amount of energy transferred).
What is the same thing as a Joule?
A joule is a symbol of derived energy transferred in the terms of newtons.
Does the momentum change or stay the same when a golf club hits the golf ball?
The energy of the moving club slows, because some energy must be transferred to the ball. (the second law of thermodynamics will show this). It even slows as it travels through the air, because of entropy, and energy being released into the air in the form of small amounts of heat.
What affects the wavelength of a mechanical wave moving trough a medium?
The amount of initial energy affects the wavelength of a mechanical wave moving through a medium. A mechanical wave requires an initial energy input to be created. Once this initial energy is added, the wave will travel through the medium until all the energy has been transferred.
What is the state in witch no thernal energy is transferred between objects because they are the same temperature?
(thermal) equilibrium
Is energy the same thing as work?
Not exactly, but they are closely related. Both have the same units, but "work" specifically refers to a TRANSFER of mechanical energy. When "work is done", mechanical energy is transferred from one object to another.
Is radiant energy the same as radiation?
Yes, they are the same things. Radiant energy is energy that travels in waves through space and air. Radiation is the movement of energy through spaces as waves. So yes, they practically are the same things.----Louise Marcade Denic----
Is solar energy same as solar cells?
No, solar energy and solar cells are not the same, although sometimes people do use the phrases as though they were interchangable. Solar energy is energy that is transferred from the sun to the earth. Solar cells are devices that turn energy from the sun into photovoltaic energy that we can use.
How can the same amount of energy be transferred if the forces acting on the object are different answers?
Energy = Force x Distance travelled in direction of force. A lower force can output the same energy by working on the object over a longer distance.
Does a ball have more gravitational potential energy when it travels up the stairs 3 ft or when it travels straight up the column 3 ft?
No,th e potential energy is the same - weight times height of 3 feet
What is the reason that a spoon gets hot when it is in a bowl of hot soup?
The reason a sppon gets hot when it is in a bowl of hot soup?because heat travels to the spoon to your hand.the more you leave the spoon in the soup,the more heat travels to the spoon and gets hotter and hotter.
