During cooling, the kinetic energy of the molecules falls. Why does this happen?

Physics
1 answer:
cricket20 [7]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The motion of the molecules slow down

Explanation:

In heating process, increase in the temperature increases the motion of the molecules and hence it gains the kinetic energy and moves.

While in the cooling process, decrease in temperature reduces the speed or motion of the molecules and that's why during cooling kinetic energy of the molecules falls down.

A dart is loaded into a spring-loaded toy dart gun by pushing the spring in by a 
distance d. For the next loading?the spring is
Mrac [35]

Answer:

W'=\dfrac{W}{9}

Explanation:

The potential energy of the spring or the work done by the spring is given by :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kd^2............(1)

k is the spring constant

d is the compression

When the spring is compressed a distance d' = d/3, let W' is the work is required to load the second dart. Then the work done is given by :

W'=\dfrac{1}{2}kd'^2

W'=\dfrac{1}{2}k(d/3)^2.............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2) :

\dfrac{W}{W'}=\dfrac{1/2kd^2}{1/2k(d/3)^2}

\dfrac{W}{W'}=9

W'=\dfrac{W}{9}

So, the work required  to load the second dart compared to that required to load the first is one-Ninth as much. Therefore, the correct option is (E).

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The correct option is b) In galaxy clusters

Explanation:

A type of galaxy that appear elliptical in shape and have an almost featureless and smooth image is known as the elliptical galaxy.

An elliptical galaxy is three dimensional and consists of more than one hundred trillion stars which are present in random orbits around the centre.

Elliptical galaxy is generally found in the galaxy clusters.

A thin hoop is supported in a vertical plane by a nail. What should the radius of the hoop be in order for it to have a period o
maxonik [38]

Answer:

0.124 m

Explanation:

the period of a simple pendulum with a small amplitude is given as

T = 2π [√(I/mgd)]

From the above stated formula,

I = moment of inertia

m = mass of the pendulum

g = acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²

d = distance from rotation axis due to center of gravity

Also, moment of Inertia, I = 2mr², if we substitute this in the above formula, we have

T = 2π [√(2mr²/mgd)]

If we assume that our r = d, then we have

T = 2π [√(2r/g)]

If we make r the subject of the formula in the above equation, we get

r = gT² / 8π²

r = (9.8 * 1²) / 8 * π²

r = 9.8 / 78.98

r = 0.124 m

Thus, the radius of the hoop is 0.124 m

Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?
uranmaximum [27]
Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.
