Find the rms speed of the molecules of a sample of n2 (diatomic nitrogen) gas at a temperature of 31.5°c.

1 answer:

8 0

The rms speed can be calculated using the following rule:
rms = sqrt ((3RT) / (M)) where:
R is the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol-K
T is the temperature = 31.5 + 273 = 304.5 degrees kelvin
M is the molar mass = 2*14 = 28 grams = 0.028 kg

Substitute with the givens to get the rms speed as follows:
rms speed = sqrt [(3*8.314*304.5) / (0.028)] = 520.811 m/sec

Where do light bulbs get their energy from?(1 point)

<u>for instance, steel has a higher thermal conductivity than plastic. Hence, the steel plate gives away heat to the ice block faster than a plastic block does. As a result, ice melts faster on a steel plate than on a plastic one. Faster an object draws heat, the colder it feels.</u>

Does the theory of relativity show that Newtonian mechanics is wrong?

valina [46]

Answer:

Einstein extended the rules of Newton for high speeds. For applications of mechanics at low speeds, Newtonian ideas are almost equal to reality. That is the reason we use Newtonian mechanics in practice at low speeds.

Explanation:

<em>But on a conceptual level, Einstein did prove Newtonian ideas quite wrong in some cases, e.g. the relativity of simultaneity. But again, in calculations, Newtonian ideas give pretty close to correct answer in low-speed regimes. So, the numerical validity of Newtonian laws in those regimes is something that no one can ever prove completely wrong - because they have been proven correct experimentally to a good approximation.</em>

A six pack of your favorite beverage (12 fl. oz. cans, assumed to have the same characteristics as water) is placed in a cooler

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

$Q = 169 BTU$

Explanation:

As we know that volume is given as

$V = 12 Fl oz$

so it is given in liter as

$V = 12 fl oz = 0.355 Ltr$

now we have six pack of such volume

so total volume is given as

$V = 6\times 0.355 Ltr$

$V = 2.13 ltr$

so its mass is given as

$m = 2.13 kg$

now the change in temperature is given as

$\Delta T = 70 - 34 = 36 ^oF$

$\Delta T = 20^oC$

now the heat given to the liquid is given as

$Q = ms\Delta T$

$Q = 2.13(4186)(20)$

$Q = 1.78 \times 10^5 J$

$Q = 169 BTU$

A worker pushes a box across the floor to the right at a constant speed with a force of 25N. What

icang [17]

Answer:

Friction between the box and the floor is 25N to the left

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- The force of push applied by the worker, in the forward direction, F

- The force of friction, $F_f$ , acting in the opposite direction (backward)

So the net force acting on the box is

$F_{net}=F-F_f$

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass (m) and its acceleration (a), so we can write:

$F_{net}=ma$
