A college student is working on her physics homework in her dorm room. her room contains a total of 6.0×1026 gas molecules. as s

he works, her body is converting chemical energy into thermal energy at a rate of 125 w. part a if her dorm room were an isolated system (dorm rooms can certainly feel like that) and if all of this thermal energy were transferred to the air in the room, by how much would the temperature increase in 11 min ?

<span>6.6 degrees C Let's model the student as a 125 w furnace that's been operating for 11 minutes. So 125 w * 11 min = 125 kg*m^2/s^3 * 11 min * 60 s/min = 82500 kg*m^2/s^2 = 82500 Joule So the average kinetic energy increase of each gas molecule is 82500 J / 6.0x10^26 = 1.38x10^-22 J Now the equation that relates kinetic energy to temperature is: E = (3/2)Kb*Tk E = average kinetic energy of the gas particles Kb = Boltzmann constant (1.3806504Ă—10^-23 J/K) Tk = Kinetic temperature in Kelvins Notice the the energy level of the gas particles is linear with respect to temperature. So we don't care what the original temperature is, we just need to know by how much the average energy of the gas particles has increased by. So let's substitute the known values and solve for Tk E = (3/2)Kb*Tk 1.38x10^-22 J = (3/2)1.3806504Ă—10^-23 J/K * Tk 1.38x10^-22 J = 2.0709756x10^-23 J/K * Tk 6.64 K = Tk Rounding to 2 significant digits gives 6.6K. So the temperature in the room will increase by 6.6 degrees K or 6.6 degrees C, or 11.9 degrees F.</span>

The answer to this is C. The reason being is because if you were to use a compass then it would be making circular motions towards the middle of the wire.

Water evaporates from the surface of the land and oceans, rises and cools, condenses into rain or snow, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. The water falling on land collects in rivers and lakes, soil, and porous layers of rock, and much of it flows back into the oceans. The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere is a significant aspect of the weather patterns on Earth. so that will be probs the best i can do
