Comparing helium atoms with nitrogen molecules at the same temperature, the helium atoms on average are moving _______ and have

_______ kinetic energy.
Physics
1 answer:
mylen [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Helium atoms compared to nitrogen atoms are moving faster and have a greater kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The molecular velocity of a gas at room temperature is inverse proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.

The greater the molecular mass of the gas the lesser the average speed of its molecules. Comparing the molecular masses of nitrogen and helium, helium is found to have a lower molecular mass and a corresponding greater velocity.

Hence helium moves faster than nitrogen and has a higher kinetic energy than nitrogen

If an object accelerating at −1.5m/s^2 takes 1.2s to reach 5.0m/s, what was its initial speed?
USPshnik [31]

-1.5 m/s^2 x 1.2 seconds = -1.8 m/s

It is a negative value which means the object slowed down. The object would have originally been going that amount more.


5.0 + 1.8 = 6.8 m/s


answer: 6.8 m/s

A device for increasing or decreasing voltage through electromagnetic induction.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

O  Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device for increasing or decreasing voltage through electromagnetic induction. It is very used in power transmission where alternating currents can be stepped up or down for house hold usage.

  • Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating current through magnetic fields.
  • It is made up of primary and secondary coils which helps to change voltage in the presence of magnetic filed at the core.
  • A transformer can either be a step up or step down device.

A laborer pushes a box to distance of 20m. if the force required to push the box is 25N what will be the quantity of work done​
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

500 J

Explanation:

In the case of a rectilinear movement, the work is calculated as the product of Force (N) * movement (m). In your case, unless the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector is different from 0, the work is:

25 N * 20 m = 500 J

Why are objects that fall near earth’s surface rarely in free fall?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Because of the presence of air resistance

Explanation:

When an object is in free fall, ideally there is only one force acting on it:

- The force of gravity, W = mg, that pushes the object downward (m= mass of the object, g = acceleration of gravity)

However, this is true only in absence of air (so, in a vacuum). When air is present, it exerts a frictional force on the object (called air resistance) with upward direction (opposite to the motion of free fall) and whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the object.

Therefore, it turns out that as the object falls, its speed increases, and therefore the air resistance acting against it increases too; as a result, the at some point the air resistance becomes equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity: when this happens, the net acceleration of the object becomes zero, and so the speed of the object does not increase anymore. This speed reached by the object is called terminal velocity.

A silica-rich igneous rock that has large crystals and makes up much of the continental crust is ________
Oxana [17]
A silica-rich igneous rock that has large crystals and makes up much of the continental crust is called granite. These rocks are usually pink, gray or white  in color depending on the minerals found on the rock. Generally, granite would have a range of 20% to 60% by volume of quartz and a minimum of 35% feldspar. This rock is a result from  volcanic arcs and from the collision of continental masses. Due to its abundance, it has been used in a number of applications. It is used as an aggregate and filler in roading and construction industries. It is also cut and polished to be used in foyers, building facings, bench counters and tops.
