An indicator of average kinetic energy is temperature. Temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.<span> If the degree of motion of the molecules inside an object doubles, the temperature will also double. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Answer:

The word that goes into the blank is Temperature.

Explanation:

According to kinetic molecular theory, the average molecular kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature. we know that kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the molecule. hence kinetic energy is an indicator to temperature.

Why does the moon lack an atmosphere?

vesna_86 [32]

Because when it had any, the warmth of the sun heated the atmosphere to the point where the average speed of the gas molecules exceeded the escape velocity for a body with the moon's mass and size. So, little by little, they escaped.

A scuba diver's tank contains 0.240 kg of o2 compressed into a volume of 3.10 l. what volume (in liters) would this oxygen occup

ohaa [14]

Given:
m = 0.240 kg = 240 g, the mass of O₂
V = 3.10 L = 3.10 x 10⁻³ m³, the volume

Because the molar mass of oxygen is 16, the number of moles of O₂ is
n = (240 g)/(2*16 g/mol) = 7.5 mol

As an ideal gas,
p*V = nRT
or
V = (nRT)/p
where R = 8.314 J/(mol-K)

When
p = 0.910 atm = (0.910 atm) * (101325Pa/atm) = 92205.75 Pa
T = 27 °C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K
then the volume is
$V= \frac{(7.5 \, mol)*(8.314 \, J/(mol-K))*(300 \, K)}{(92205.75 \, Pa)} =0.2029 \, m^{3}$

V = (0.2029 m³)*(10³ L/m³) = 202.9 L

A dart is inserted into a spring-loaded dart gun by pushing the spring in by a distance x. For the next loading, the spring is c

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The second dart leaves the gun two times as faster than the first one.

Explanation:

Assuming no energy loss during the spring-dart energy transfer, we have by the conservation of energy principle

$U_s = K_d \\ \frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\ v = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2}.$

Given an arbitrary $x$ and its double, $2x$ , launch velocities are

$v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2} \text{ and} \\ v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}\left(2x\right)^2} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}4x^2} = 2\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2} = \mathbf{2v_1}.$

DENIUS [597]

Its total mechanical energy is <em>2,000 J</em>.

We don't have enough information to say anything about its heat energy, its chemical energy, or the energy due to any electrical charge it may be carrying or any magnetic field it may have.

Is it possible for a car to be accelerating to the west while it is driving to the east?

Ber [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

If the acceleration has an opposite direction to the velocity of the car, this means that it is opposed to is motion. Therefore, it is called deceleration, since the car's velocity will decrease until it stops and then will start it moving towards the west.
