For a spacecraft or a molecule to leave the moon, it must reach the escape velocity (speed) of the moon, which is 2.37 km/s. The

average daytime temperature of the moon’s surface is 365 K. What is the rms speed (in m/s) of an oxygen molecule at this temperature?rms speed = m/s

Answer:

Vrms = 291 m/s

Explanation:

The root mean square velocity or vrms is the square root of the average square velocity and is. vrms=√3RTM. Where M is equal to the molar mass of the molecule in kg/mol.

Temperature = 365 K

Root mean square velocity = ?

molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol.

But xygen gas (O2) is comprised of two oxygen atoms bonded together. Therefore:

   molar mass of O2 = 2 x 16

   molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

   Convert this to kg/mol:

   molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol x 1 kg/1000 g

   molar mass of O2 = 3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen = 3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol

Vrms = √[3(8.3145 (kg·m2/sec2)/K·mol)(365 K)/3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol]

Vrms = 291 m/s

Answer:

Vrms = 533 m/s

Explanation:

The formula for the root mean square molecular speed is given as;

V_rms=√(3RT/M)

Where;

M is the molar mass of the molecule

T is Temperature

R is gas constant which has a value of 8.31 J/mol.k

V_rms is root mean square speed

Now let's calculate the molar mass of the molecule whuch in this case is oxygen.

Oxygen has a formula of O_2

Now, molar mass of one atom is 16 g/mol

Thus, molar mass of the 2 atoms would be; 2 x 16 = 32 g/mol = 0.032 kg/mol

T = 365K

So, plugging in the relevant values, we obtain;

V_rms = √[(3x8.31x365 )/0.032]

Vrms = 533 m/s

A whistling sound that is audible when a hearing aid is held in the hand with the power on and the volume high indicates that th

The whistling sound from the hearing aids represents that your hearing aids is working perfectly ad is known as the "feedback". So, the given statement is true.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

It's often sounds irritating when a hearing aids of your grandpa or Grandma whistles. especially, when they put them out of their ears. Actually, this feedback sound from hearing aids occur when the sounds from the outer side  bounces back to the microphone of the hearing aids.

The sound bounces back when it doesn't gets inside of your ear canal so that one can hear the sound through the hearing aid. When the sounds bounces back in the hearing aid, it get re-amplified and thus we hear the whistle sound which is known as the feedback of the device.

It's not always the feedback sound though. Sometimes the device whistles when it has some mechanical defect or when one hugs the other one or water gets inside and damaged the whole system.

Newtons law of garvitation is known as universal law. Why​
xeze [42]

Answer:

It is called so because it is applicable on all bodies having mass, and the bodies will be governed by the same law, that is newton's law of gravitation. Thus, as it is applicable universally, it is called as universal law.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1200 kg object that is moving at a speed of 24 m/s?
maria [59]
Kinetic Energy = 1/2mv^2
m= 1200kg
v= 24 m/s

KE = 1/2 (1200kg)(24m/s)^2 = 345,600 N
