How can an iceberg (temperature=0 Celsius) have more energy than a burning match head (temperature=230 Celsius)?

1 answer:

5 0

Temperature is the average energy of each particle and does not really give you an indication of the total internal energy. That being said, total internal energy is the sum of all of the molecule's energy in a given object so it would make sense that an ice berg (having a huge number molecules at a lower average energy) would have more internal energy than a match head (having a much smaller number of molecules at a higher average energy). Basically, the fact that ice bergs tend to be huge and contain much more molecules than a match head, means that ice bergs can have a larger total internal energy which means they store more energy.

I hope this helps.

12.<br> An object with a mass of 3 kg has a momentum of 75 kg•m/s. What is the velocity?

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

the velocity is 25 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity is shown below:

As we know that

Magnitude of Momentum = (mass) × (speed)

75 kg. m/s = 3 kg × speed

So, the speed is

= 75 ÷ 3

= 25 m/s

hence, the velocity is 25 m/s

Answer:

Research shows that patients with schizophrenia are more affected by stress physically as well as emotionally, for instance they show different changes in heart rate under stress and a greater overall risk of cardiovascular disease.

1. A student sees tiny bubbles clinging to the inside of an unopened plastic bottle full of carbonated soft drinks. The student

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1) The bubbles will grow, and more may appear.

2)Can A will make a louder and stronger fizz than can B.

Explanation:

When you squeeze the sides of the bottle you increase the pressure pushing on the bubble, making it compress into a smaller space. This decrease in volume causes the bubble to increase in density. When the bubble increases in density, the bubble will grow and more bubbles will appear. Therefore, Changing the pressure (by squeezing the bottle) changes the volume of the bubbles. The number of bubbles doesn't change, just their size increases.

Carbonated drinks tend to lose their fizz at higher temperatures because the loss of carbon dioxide in liquids is increased as temperature is raised. This can be explained by the fact that when carbonated liquids are exposed to high temperatures, the solubility of gases in them is decreased. Hence the solubility of CO2 gas in can A at 32°C is less than the solubility of CO2 in can B at 8°C. Thus can A will tend to make a louder fizz more than can B.

How would you expect a positive particle approaching another positive particle to behave?

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

They would produce a repulsive force to another

Explanation:

A positive particle approaching another positive particle will repulse it.

According to coulomb's law "like charges repel one another and unlike charges attract".

A charge is an intrinsic property of any matter.

When like charges e.g positive and positive or negative and negative charges are in the vicinity of one another, they repel each other.

When unlike charges; positive and negative are brought together, they simply attract one another.

Therefore, we expect that a positive particle approaching another positive particle will repel one another.
