Does potential energy increase with temperature?

-- The potential energy of a 12-lb bowling ball up on the shelf
doesn't have anything to do with the temperature of the ball or
the shelf.

-- The potential energy of a jar full of gas does depend on the
temperature of the gas.  The warmer it is, the greater its pressure
is, and the more work it can do if you let it out through a little hole
in the jar.  If it gets hot enough, it'll have enough potential energy
to blow the jar to smithereens.

<span>When a solid melts and becomes a liquid, we say it changes phase from a solid to a liquid. In this change, the bonding between the atoms or molecules changes. You have to "break" some bonds to go from a solid to a liquid. This requires energy. The liquid is a "higher" potential energy state than the solid, even at the same temperature. (It is slightly more complicated than this, but this is good enough for this class.) To convert 1kg of solid water at 0oC (273K) to liquid water at 0oC (273K) requires about 330,000J of energy. Note that the temperature of the liquid is the same as the solid’s, i.e. you added heat without changing the temperature, instead the phase changed. The heat added went into "breaking" bonds and increasing its potential energy, not into increasing the average translational KE of the molecules. (It is slightly more complicated than this, but this explanation is good enough for this class.) If you go the other way, and convert 1kg of liquid water at 0oC (273K) to ice at 0oC (273K) releases 330,000J of heat. This heat comes from the energy given off when bonds form, i.e. it goes to a state of lower potential energy. The same type of thing occurs when a liquid changes to a gas. Then more bonds are broken as the molecules move apart, and it requires energy to break the bonds and move to a higher potential energy. To convert 1kg of liquid water at 100oC (373K) to 1kg of water vapor at 100oC (373K) requires 2,260,000J (almost 2.3 million Joules) of energy. That is, the water absorbs energy to change from a liquid to a gas.. If 1kg of water vapor conde</span>

Annette [7]

Answer:

0.00000019631 meters

Explanation:

Rearrange Fg=(Gm1m2)/r^2 for r

You get r=sqrt((Gm1m2)/Fg)

G=6.674*10^-11

r=sqrt((6.674*10^-11)(0.13)(0.2)/45)

r=0.00000019631 meters, or 0.00019631 mm

B-1:
zalisa [80]

Answer:

(a) t = 1.67 s

(b) s₂ = 45 m

Explanation:

Here, we use the formula:

s = vt

FOR Seth:

s₁ = v₁t₁

where,

s₁ = distance covered by Seth

v₁ = speed of Seth = 9 m/s

t₁ = time taken by Seth

FOR Mack:

s₂ = v₂t₂

where,

s₂ = distance covered by Mack

v₂ = speed of Mack = 27 m/s

t₂ = time taken by Mack

since, initially Mack is 30 m behind Seth. Therefore,

(a)

s₂ = s₁ + 30 m

using formulae:

v₂t₂ = v₁t₁ + 30 m

but, the time of catching is same for both (t₁ = t₂ = t)

v₂t = v₁t + 30 m

using values:

(27 m/s)t - (9 m/s)t = 30 m

t = (30 m)/(18 m/s)

<u>t = 1.67 s</u>

(b)

s₂ = v₂t

using values:

s₂ = (27 m/s)(1.67 s)

<u>s₂ = 45 m</u>

A particular X-ray photon has initial energy of 60 keV when it enters the body. This photon transmits through 30 cm of soft tiss
ankoles [38]

Answer:

E = 7.334 KeV

Explanation:

given,

initial energy = 60 keV

Δ x = 30 cm

E = E_0e^{-\mu \Delta x}

μ(for soft tissue) = 0.7 cm⁻¹ (taken from table)

E = E_0e^{-0.7\times 20}

         E = 60 × 0.1224

         E = 7.334 KeV

energy of x-ray photon after travelling through 30 cm soft tissue in body is E = 7.334 KeV

AnswerAmontons's law. If the temperature is increased, the average speed and kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase. ... If the gas volume is decreased, the container wall area decreases and the molecule-wall collision frequency increases, both of which increase the pressure exerted by the gas (Figure 1).:
