a gas is placed inside a very cold box . The gas molecules transfer heat to the walls of the box. Which best describes what happ
insens350 [35]
As the gas cools down, particle movement slows down with it, and so does the temperature of the gas. This is because the more heat or thermal energy a gas has, the faster the particles move. This is why absolute zero, or 0 degrees Kelvin is defined as zero particle movement, because it has zero energy.

Increasing the # of pulleys increases the _______ but decreases the amount of ______ applied
Maksim231197 [3]

Distance, Force

<u>Explanation:</u>

1)  Increasing the load will add to the friction on the bearings of the pulleys, thus reducing the efficiency of the system.  The ideal mechanical advantage won't change since the ideal mechanical advantage ignores friction.

2)  Increasing the number of pulleys will increase the ideal mechanical advantage, but because of friction it will decrease the efficiency.  The more pulleys that are turning, the more friction there is, and the less efficient the system will be.

3)  Work = force x distance, and what machines do is alter the amount of force you can apply while at the same time reducing the distance moved by the same factor.  For instance, a jack multiplies the force you apply by a factor of 100, when you push down on the handle of the jack 100 cm, the car will only go up 1 cm.  So the force x distance is the same 100 x force x 1/100 x distance.

A 3.06kg stone is dropped from a height of 10.0m and strikes the ground with a velocity of 7.00m/s. What average force of air fr
xxTIMURxx [149]
<span>22.5 newtons. First, let's determine how much energy the stone had at the moment of impact. Kinetic energy is expressed as: E = 0.5mv^2 where E = Energy m = mass v = velocity Substituting known values and solving gives: E = 0.5 3.06 kg (7 m/s)^2 E = 1.53 kg 49 m^2/s^2 E = 74.97 kg*m^2/s^2 Now ignoring air resistance, how much energy should the rock have had? We have a 3.06 kg moving over a distance of 10.0 m under a force of 9.8 m/s^2. So 3.06 kg * 10.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 299.88 kg*m^2/s^2 So without air friction, we would have had 299.88 Joules of energy, but due to air friction we only have 74.97 Joules. The loss of energy is 299.88 J - 74.97 J = 224.91 J So we can claim that 224.91 Joules of work was performed over a distance of 10 meters. So let's do the division. 224.91 J / 10 m = 224.91 kg*m^2/s^2 / 10 m = 22.491 kg*m/s^2 = 22.491 N Rounding to 3 significant figures gives an average force of 22.5 newtons.</span>
