Only a small percentage of the electric energy fed into a light bulb is transformed into light what happens to the remaining energy?
It appears as heat
What processes is the suns radiant energy a major factor of?
Producing heat.
What happens to the amount of kinetic energy when heat is added to a pure phase of matter?
The kinetic energy increases as you add more heat.
How is heat of vaporization related to heat of condensation?
They are the same energy but relate to the processes in different directions. Condensation= gas-->liquid. Vaporization=liquid-->gas. One energy should be the negative of the other.
How is waste heat is inevitable in ecosystems?
Energy is neither created nor destroyed by chemical processes, merely transferred. Since energy is also lost every time energy is transferred between organisms, that lost heat must go somewhere. That lost energy becomes waste heat in the environment.
Only a small percentage of the electric energy fed into a light bulb is transformed into light what happens to the remaining energy?
It appears as heat
What processes transfer heat energy along the wire?
Those processes that involve particle friction.
What happens to the overall amount of energy transmitted by a transformer?
Part of the energy is lost in heat by processes in the transformer. That is usually only 1-2% for power supply transformers. The remainder is passed on to the load.
What does thermal properties mean?
The way something processes heat energy.
What processes is the suns radiant energy a major factor of?
Producing heat.
What happens to heat energy left in sand?
Basically the same that happens to heat energy left anywhere else. It can stay warm for a while, but eventually, the heat will dissipate.
How is thermal energy involved in the processes of melting and evaporation?
heat causes both
What happens to the 62 percent of the total energy of glucose that is not used to make ATP molecules?
The remaining energy is lost as heat due to the 2nd law of thermodynamics. According to that law, only part of the energy will transfer and the rest will be lost as heat. For example, and engine uses part of the energy for motion and the rest dissipates through heat.
What transformation does grass go through in a food chain?
It goes from light energy from the sun to chemical energy to chemical, mechanical, and heat energy and the chemical energy can go to mechanical and heat energy. Then the remaining chemical energy goes to chemical, heat, and mechanical energy again and it keeps on repeating.
What happens to energy in heat flow?
Energy transfers from one object to another. It supplies heat to nearby objects.
What happens to plants when they don't have heat energy?
They will die
What happens to most of the energy in the ecosystem?
Leaves as heat.
