Because the motion of the molecules slow down
serg [7]3 years ago

The correct answer of this question is : Molecular motion or vibration slows down

EXPLANATION :

The kinetic energy of the molecule depends on the molecular motion. Molecules might have different types of kinetic energy depending on the type of substance i.e solid,liquid or gases.

During cooling, we are reducing the temperature of the substance. Due to the decrease of temperature, the molecular speed is also decreased. It is so because the molecular speed is dependent on the temperature of the substance.

Hence, the vibration, rotation or translation motion of the molecule slows down during cooling, which in turn, decreases the kinetic energy of the molecule.

If the velocity of a long jumper during take-offat an angle of 30 degrees is 42 f/s, how fast is he moving forward (Vx) and how
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Vx=  11.0865(m/s)

Vy=  6.4008(m/s)

Explanation:

Taking into account that 1m is equal to 0.3048 ft, the takeoff speed in m / s will be:

V= 42(ft/s) × 0.3048(m/ft) = 12.8016(m/s)

The take-off angle is equal to 30 °, taking into account the Pythagorean theorem the velocity on the X axis will be:

Vx= 12.8016 (m/s) × cos(30°)= 11.0865(m/s)

And for the same theorem the speed on the Y axis will be:

Vy= 12.8016 (m/s) × sen(30°)= 6.4008(m/s)

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.
dezoksy [38]
The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s

Given p=mv, with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}=  2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J

parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.070 m square, spaced 6.3 mm apart. What must the potential difference bet
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

V = 576 V

Explanation:

Given:

- The area of the two plates A = 0.070 m^2

- The space between the two plates d = 6.3 mm

- Te energy density u = 0.037 J /m^3

Find:

- What must the potential difference between the plates V?

Solution:

- The energy density of the capacitor with capacitance C and potential difference V is given as:

                               u = 0.5*ε*E^2

- Where the Electric field strength E between capacitor plates is given by:

                               E = V / d

Hence,

                               u = 0.5*ε*(V/d)^2

Where, ε = 8.854 * 10^-12

                               V^2 = 2*u*d^2 / ε

                               V = d*sqrt ( 2*u / ε )

Plug in values:

                               V = 0.0063*sqrt ( 2 * 0.037 / (8.854 * 10^-12) )

                               V = 576 V
