This question is asking you to determine if individual atoms or systems, or both have these types of energy. A system would be "all the molecules or atoms" whereas an individual atom is "each of the molecules or atoms."

Answers:

A. All the molecules or atoms in motion have kinetic energy.

B. Each molecule or atom in motion has kinetic energy.

D. All the molecules or atoms in motion have thermal energy.

The only incorrect answer is C because individual atoms don't have thermal energy, only when they interact with other atoms. Still, atoms do have kinetic energy, which has the potential to turn into heat energy in these interactions.

Hope this helps!

A cross-country skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Magnitude = 14 metres

Direction = eastward.

Explanation:

A cross-country skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44meters westward, and finally 22 meters eastward.

Whats the Magnitude and Direction?

The magnitude and direction will be the displacement of the cross country skier.

Let the east ward be positive and the west ward be negative.

Since the skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44meters westward, and finally 22 meters eastward. Then, that will be:

36 - 44 + 22 = 14

Since the answer is positive, the magnitude is 14 and the direction is east ward.

A bicycle tire is spinning counterclockwise at 2.70 rad/s. During a time period Δt = 1.50 s, the tire is stopped and spun in the

Andru [333]

Answer:

Δω = -5.4 rad/s

αav = -3.6 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Initial angular velocity = ωi = 2.70 rad/s

Final angular velocity = ωf = -2.70 rad/s (negative sign is

due to the movement in opposite direction)

Change in time period = Δt = 1.50 s

Required:

Change in angular velocity = Δω = ?

Average angular acceleration = αav = ?

Solution:

Angular velocity (Δω):

Δω = ωf - ωi

Δω = -2.70 - 2.70

Δω = -5.4 rad/s.

Average angular acceleration (αav):

αav = Δω/Δt

αav = -5.4/1.50

αav = -3.6 rad/s²

Since, the angular velocity is decreasing from 2.70 rad/s (in counter clockwise direction) to rest and then to -2.70 rad/s (in clockwise direction) so, the change in angular velocity is negative.

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as

$\Delta KE = \Delta PE$
