Answer:
Helium atoms compared to nitrogen atoms are moving faster and have a greater kinetic energy.
Explanation:
The molecular velocity of a gas at room temperature is inverse proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.
The greater the molecular mass of the gas the lesser the average speed of its molecules. Comparing the molecular masses of nitrogen and helium, helium is found to have a lower molecular mass and a corresponding greater velocity.
Hence helium moves faster than nitrogen and has a higher kinetic energy than nitrogen
A unit of acceleration needs a unit of length in the numerator
and a squared unit of time in the denominator.
Example: meters / second²
feet / minute²
smoots / hour²
furlongs / fortnight² .
Ideally, in order to completely describe an acceleration vector,
you also need to state a direction.
Answer:
Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
