Hey there,
I have an example,
temperature is average energy per unit of measurement
<span>total thermal energy is the energy as a whole </span>
<span>One situation is that one object is considerably larger than the other one, they have the same average temperature, but in whole, the one with larger mass also contains more thermal energy.
</span>
Hope this helps :))

First thermal energy (heat) is not the same thing as temperature. Thermal energy is internal energy held by the molecules but the temperature is the is the effect of the heat. Temperature is the measurement of the heat energy. Also, thermal energy depends on the size of the matter but the temperature isn't, it's just the average heat energy held by the matter.

A jet engine gets its thrust by taking in air, heating and compressing it, and

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw$

Explanation:

Thrust is known as a reaction force which appears when a system expels or accelerates mass in one specific direction. If we know the acceleration and the mass of the air expelled by the jet engine, we can compute the thrust .

The acceleration is calculated by using the dynamics formula

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

The values are

$v_f=500\ m/s,\ v_o=100\ m/s,\ t=1\ sec$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{500-100}{1}=400\ m/s^2$

The thrust is

$F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw$

What effect does the removal of vegetation have on soil ?

Strike441 [17]

Hello!

The removal of vegetation causes the desertification and erosion of soil. The roots of the plants that are inside the soil create a sort of net that prevents the material to be dragged by the water from the rain. They also absorb any excess water that can weaken the soil structure. If vegetation is removed from the soil, the nutrients can be dragged by water currents and slowly the desertification will occur.

Have a nice day!
