The speed of molecules is indirectly related to a measurement called _____.
2 answers:
Answer : (c) temperature is the correct option.
Explanation :
The speed of molecules is directly proportional to temperature. If the temperature of the system is increased, the molecules start vibrating i.e. their kinetic energy increases which in turn increase its velocity.
From kinetic theory of gases,
........(1)
where,
R is the gas constant
T is temperature
M is molar mass
So, from equation (1) it is clear that velocity is directly proportional to temperature.
Hence, the correct option is (B) " temperature"

Answer:
1keff=1k1+1k2
see further explanation
Explanation:for clarification
Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination. Also, each spring must exert the same force. Do you see why?
From Hooke's law , we know that the force exerted on an elastic object is directly proportional to the extension provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.
Now the spring is in series combination
Fe
F=ke
k=f/e.........*
where k is the force constant or the constant of proportionality
k=f/e
............................1
also for effective force constant
divide all through by extension
1) Total force is
Ft=F1+F2
Ft=k1e1+k2e2
F = k(e1+e2) 2)
Since force on the 2 springs is the same, so
k1e1=k2e2
e1=F/k1 and e2=F/k2,
and e1+e2=F/keq
Substituting e1 and e2, you get
1/keq=1/k1+1/k2
Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination.
