The correct choice is

True

According to kinetic molecular theory, average kinetic energy per molecule of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature. The average kinetic energy is given as

KE = 1.5 k T

where T = temperature , k = Boltzmann constant

hence

temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy

Answer:

The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.

Explanation:

According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:

TA = W * (a * cosθ)

The torque due to effort at C point is:

TC = E * (b * cosθ)

The net torque is equal to 0, we have:

Tnet = 0

W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0

$E=W\frac{a}{b}$

From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W

An airplane accelerates from a speed of 88m/s to a speed of 132 m/s during a 15 second time interval. How far did the airplane t

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$1650\:\mathrm{m}$

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematics equations to solve this problem:

$v_f=v_i+at,\\{v_f}^2={v_i}^2+2a\Delta x$ .

Using the first one to solve for acceleration:

$132=88+a(15),\\15a=44,\\a=\frac{44}{15}=2.9\bar{3}\:\mathrm{m/s^2}$ .

Now we can use the second equation to solve for the distance travelled by the airplane:

$132^2=88^2+2\cdot2.9\bar{3}\cdot \Delta x,\\\Delta x= \frac{9680}{2\cdot2.9\bar{3}},\\\Delta x =\fbox{$ 1650\:\mathrm{m}$}$ (three significant figures).
