use the formula: v^2=(3kT)/m

Where:

v is the velocity of a molecule

k is the Boltzmann constant (1.38064852e-23 J/K)

T is the temperature of the molecule in the air

m is the mass of the molecule

For an H2 molecule at 20.0°C (293 K):

v^2 = 3 × 1.38e-23 J/K × 293 K / (2.00 u × 1.66e-27 kg/u)

v^2 = 3.65e+6 m^2/s^2

v = 1.91e+3 m/s

For an O2 molecule at same temp.:

v^2 = 3 × 1.38e-23 J/K × 293 K / (32.00 u × 1.66e-27 kg/u)

v^2 = 2.28e+5 m^2/s^2

v = 478 m/s

Therefore, the ratio of H2:O2 velocities is:

1.91e+3 / 478 = 4.00

The distribution of the fossil fuel depends on the factors like land, temperature, altitude and so on. Because of the difference in all these factors in different areas, there is unequal distribution of fossil fuels.

Explanation:

The problem of allocation of resources arises due to the scarcity of resources, and refers to the question of which wants should be satisfied and which should be left unsatisfied. Because of the scarcity of resources in some areas, there is low production and therefore low growth in that area.

Most natural resources, including fossil fuels, are not distributed evenly around the Earth. Deposits of fossil fuels depend on the climate and organisms that lived in that region millions of years ago, and the geological processes that have since taken place.

How to tell if vector is unit vector

Aliun [14]

You can tell if vector is an unit because it has something to do with taking the magnitude of the vector.
also has a length 1. thus you should use pythagoras to check.

Hope this help

What would happen to the two balls if one of them were kept positively charged and the charge on the other ball were slowly incr

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The force of repulsion between the two balls will increase

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the distance between the centres of the two objects

We see that the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the charges on the two objects. in this problem, we have two positively charged balls (so, there is a force of repulsion between them, since like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other), and the positive charge in one of them is slowly increased: this means that either $q_1$ or $q_2$ in the formula is increasing, and so the magnitude of the force is increasing.

When driving straight down the highway at a constant velocity you have to give the engine a little gas (which means an added ext

Alona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

This does not violate Newton's 1st law because the net force would still be 0 in order to produce uniform motion (aka constant velocity). The other forces acting on the vehicles is air resistance which is non-zero. So we need car internal force to counter balance this force, which require extra gas for the car.
