True, according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

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

What speed would a fly with a mass of 0.55g need in order to have a kinetic energy of 7.6 •10^4 j?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

16613 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the fly, m = 0.55 g = 0.55*10^-3 kg

Kinetic Energy of the fly, E = 7.6*10^4 J

Speed of the fly, v = ? m/s

We know that the Kinetic Energy is that energy that an object, in this case, the fly, possesses due to its motion.

The Kinetic Energy, KE of any object is represented by the formula

KE = 1/2 * m * v²

If we substitute the values in the relation, we have,

7.6*10^4 = 1/2 * 0.55*10^-3 * v²

v² = (15.2*10^4) / 0.55*10^-3

v² = 2.76*10^8

v = √2.76*10^8

v = 16613 m/s

Thus, the fly would need a speed of 16.6 km/s in order to have a Kinetic Energy of 7.6*10^4 J

Radio waves transmitted through space at 3.00 ✕ 108 m/s by the Voyager spacecraft have a wavelength of 0.137 m. What is their fr
fredd [130]

Answer:

Frequency, f=2.18\times 10^9\ Hz

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of radio waves is 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Wavelength of radio waves is \lambda=0.137\ m

It is required to find the frequency of the radio waves. The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.137}\\\\f=2.18\times 10^9\ Hz

So, the frequency of the radio wave is 2.18\times 10^9\ Hz.

An object at rest does not _____ and an object in motion does not _____, unless an _____ force acts upon it
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

An object at rest does not move and an object in motion does not change its velocity, unless an external force acts upon it

Explanation:

This statement is also known as Newton's first law, or law of  inertia.

It states that the state of motion of an object can be changed only if there is an external force (different from zero) acting on it: therefore

- If an object is at rest, it will remain at rest if there is no force acting on it

- If an object is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity if there is no force acting on it

This phenomenon can be also understood by looking at Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

If the net force is zero, F = 0, the acceleration of the object is also zero, a = 0: therefore, the velocity of the object does not change, and it will continue moving at the same velocity (which can be zero, if the object was at rest).
