Answer: temperature

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

Average kinetic energy is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles present in a system. It is determined by the equation:

$K=\frac{3RT}{2}$

K= kinetic energy

R= gas constant

T= temperature

From above, it is visible that kinetic energy is directly related to the temperature of the system. So, if temperature is more, average kinetic energy of the system is more.

How does cohesion affect the evaporation rate of water

wariber [46]

Answer:

Evaporation occurs because among the molecules near the surface of the liquid there are always some with enough heat energy to overcome the cohesion of their neighbors and escape. At higher temperatures the number of energetic molecules is greater, and evaporation is more rapid.

What problem could happen if deep sea divers used pure oxygen in their tanks?

AysviL [449]

Hi there!

Deep sea divers CANNOT use pure oxygen in their tanks. Pure oxygen is deadly, and can kill them. This would be called Oxygen toxicity

Hope this helps you!

How are genetic engineering and artificial selection similar?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

both genetic engineering and artificial selection allow humans to change a species so that its member are better suited for human needs. artificial selection selects for traits already present in a species, whereas genetic engineering creates new traits.
