Which statements about a sample of gas containing molecules of different masses are true?

Physics
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

More-massive gas molecules in the sample have lower rms speed than less-massive ones.

Explanation:

The rms speed is defined as the prediction that how fast the molecule travel at a given temperature.

Mathematically, rms speed can be written as,

v_{rms} =\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }

Here, T is the temperature, M is the mass of gas molecule.

Now from this it is clearly seen that rms speed is inversely related with mass of the gas molecule.

Therefore, gas molecule which posses more mass in the sample have smaller rms speed than less-massive ones.

Naily [24]

h=average v * time average v = (0+ 20)/2 =10 so:  h = 20 = 10 * t    -->   t = 2 sec final v = v0 + at v0=0  --> 20 = 0 + a*2  ->   a = 10 m/s2

A frictionless pendulum of length of 3 m swings with an amplitude of 10o. At its maximum displacement, the potential energy of t
olchik [2.2K]
<h2>Option A is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum we have at any position

             Total energy = Constant        

             Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Constant

At maximum displacement of pendulum, velocity is zero, hence kinetic energy is zero.

At maximum displacement the pendulum only have potential energy.

Given that maximum potential energy is 10 J.

 That is at any position                

                     Kinetic energy + Potential energy = 10 J

Now we need to find kinetic energy when potential energy is 5 J.

                     Kinetic energy + 5 J = 10 J

                     Kinetic energy = 5 J

Option A is the correct answer.

How many seconds did it take (after starting his descent) for the worker to hit the ground? Answer in units of s.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, to determine the time (in seconds) it took a worker to hit the ground from an elevated point. The speed the worker was coming with to the ground and the distance between the elevated point and the ground will have to be considered. Thus the formula to be used here will be

Speed (in meter per second) = distance (in meters) ÷ time (in seconds)

time (in seconds) = distance (in meters) ÷ speed (in meter per seconds)

What should you do immediately if a boat motor catches fire?
olganol [36]
 If a boat motor catches fire, you should immediately shut off the fuel supply, and try to put out the fire with an extinguisher. It is very important to have fully charged fire extinguishers on hand. As soon as you notice the fire activate the extinguisher and do not panic. In order to prevent fire remember to c<span>lean the bilges often and maintain proper gear stowage, make sure short-tie cables are properly connected...</span>

Producing a current by moving a wire through a magnetic field is called “BLANK” induction
NeX [460]
Producing a current by moving a wire through a magnetic field is called ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.
Electromagnetic induction refers to the production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field. The process was discovered by Micheal Faraday in 1831.
