Physics Questions

Rolling friction or rolling drag is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects, that is, not all the energy needed for deformation of the wheel, roadbed, etc... is recovered when the pressure is removed.

Another cause of rolling resistance lies in the slippage between the wheel and the surface, which dissipates energy.

The ultraviolet rays have high frequency and shorter wavelength are converted to visible white light with lower frequency and greater wave length

Yes, the ability to do work is called Energy is True.

A device which is used to convert light energy directly into electrical energy is called as photovoltaic cell or a solar cell.

Heliostats convert light energy into heat energy.

A thermocouple is a device for measuring temperature.

Q = mc∆T refers to Specific Heat formula.

When heat energy is added to a substance, the temperature will change by a certain amount.

The relationship between heat energy and temperature is different for every material, and the specific heat is a value that describes how they relate.

Q = mc∆T

Q = heat energy (Joules, J)

m = mass of a substance (kg)

c = specific heat (units J/kg∙K)

∆T = change in temperature (Kelvins, K)
