It is found that the most probable speed of molecules in a gas at equilibrium temperature

kaheart [24]

Answer:

$\frac{T_2}{T_1} = 1$

Explanation:

The root mean square velocity of the gas at an equilibrium temperature is given by the following formula:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }$

where,

v = root mean square velocity of molecules:

R = Universal Gas Constant

T = Equilibrium Temperature

M = Molecular Mass of the Gas

Therefore,

For T = T₁ :

$v = \sqrt{\frac{3RT_1}{M} }$

For T = T₂ :

$v = \sqrt{\frac{3RT_2}{M} }$

Since both speeds are given to be equal. Therefore, comparing both equations, we get:

$\sqrt{\frac{3RT_1}{M} }=\sqrt{\frac{3RT_2}{M} }\\\\\frac{T_2}{T_1} = 1$

If a satellite weighs 321 lb. on the earth's surface (R = 4,000 miles), how much does it weigh 12,000 miles above the surface? (

Sever21 [200]

The gravitational force between the Earth and the satellite (its "weight") is inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of both objects.

On the surface, their centers are separated by 1 Earth radius.

12,000 miles above the surface, they're separated by 4 Earth radiii.

(4/1) = 4

So after the move, the satellite's weight is (1/4²) = 1/16 of its surface weight.

(321 lb) / (16) = (20 and a hair) lb

The correct choice from the given list is " <em>>20 lb "</em> .

An auditorium measures 40.0 m 3 20.0 m 3 12.0 m. The density of air is 1.20 kg/m3. What are (a) the volume of the room in cubic

Burka [1]

We use the formula,

m = V\rho

Here, m is the mass, V is the volume and $\rho$ density

Also

$V = l w h$

Here l is length, w is width and h is height.

(a) The volume of the room,

$V=40.0 \ m \times 3 20.0 \ m \times 3 12.0\ m = 3.99 \times 10^{6} m^3$

The volume of the room in cubic feet,

$V = 3.99 \times 10^{6} m^3 \times(\frac{3.281 \ ft}{m} )^3 = 4.3 \times 10^7 \ ft^3$

(b) Now the mass of the air in room,

$m= (3.99 \times 10^{6} \ m^3) (1.20 \ kg/m^3) = 4.8 \times 10^6 kg$ .

Therefore, the weight of the air in room,

$W = mg= 4.8 \times 10^6 kg \times 9.8 m/s^2 = 46.9 \times 10^6 \ N \\\\ W = 4.69 \times 10^7 \ N$ .

The weight of air in the room in pounds,

$W = 4.69 \times 10^7 \ N ( \frac{1 \ lb}{4.448 \ N} ) = 1.1 \times 10^7 \ lb$
