Answer:
The SI unit of length verified globally is meters(m)
Answer:

Explanation:
The root mean square velocity of the gas at an equilibrium temperature is given by the following formula:

where,
v = root mean square velocity of molecules:
R = Universal Gas Constant
T = Equilibrium Temperature
M = Molecular Mass of the Gas
Therefore,
For T = T₁ :

For T = T₂ :

Since both speeds are given to be equal. Therefore, comparing both equations, we get:

Answer:
Gwen’s assumption of asteroid hit as long term change is incorrect. Asteroid hit is not a long term change, instead, it is a short term change.
Explanation:
Examples of short term changes are drought, flood, volcanic eruption, etc. A short term change occurs quickly and can immediately affect organisms but it doesn’t become a reason for species extinction. The effects of a short term change don’t prevail over a long span of time.
Examples of long term changes are ice age, global warming, deforestation, etc. Unlike a short term change, it takes time but the consequences are far-reaching. It can lead to species extinction.
In this question, asteroid hit is a quick and unexpected hazard, unlike the slow long term environmental changes.
