Force = (mass) x (acceleration) Newton's second law of motion.

Force = (2 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 6 newtons.

Which sample of oxygen gas contains molecules with the fastest average speed?

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

A. 1.73 x 10^5 J

Explanation:

The internal energy of a gas is related to the average speed of the molecules of the gas. In fact:

- The internal energy, U, is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas, T, according to

$U=\frac{3}{2}nRT$

- The temperature of the gas, T, is proportional to the square of the average speed of the molecules, v, according to

$\frac{3}{2}kT=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where both terms represent the average kinetic energy of the molecules.

- Therefore, we can conclude that the higher the internal energy, the faster the average speed of the molecules: among the choices given, the sample with highest internal energy is sample A.

Imagine an alternative universe where the characteristic decay time of neutrons is 3 min instead of 15 min. All other properties

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

(a) $[Y_{p} ]_{max} = \frac{2f}{1+f}$

(b) $f_{new} = 0.013$ ; $[Y_{p} ]_{max}$ = 0.026

Explanation:

Since the neutron-to-proton ratio at the time of nucleosynthesis is given:

$f = \frac{n_{n} }{n_{p} }$

Therefore:

$n_{n} = f*n_{p}$

Then, to determine the maximum ⁴He fraction if all the available $n_{n}$ neutrons bind to all the protons. Since, there are 2 protons and 2 neutrons in a ⁴He nucleus, it shows that there would be $n_{n}/2$ nuclei of ⁴He.

In addition, a ⁴He nucleus has a mass of $4m_{p}$ , where $m_{p}$ is the mass of one proton. Thus, $n_{n}/2$ nuclei of such nuclei will have a mass of $n_{n}/2$ * $4m_{p}$ .
