Answer:Work

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed the energy changes from kinetic to potential energy as Energy cannot be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

This can be best explained with the help of work. Suppose a block with certain kinetic energy comes in contact to the spring its kinetic energy changes to Potential Energy of the spring or we can say that its Kinetic Energy is converted to Potential energy as the block does work on spring.

Block compresses the spring by changing its length and it requires some work which is equal to change in its Potential Energy of spring.

Which of the following is NOT part of the kinetic theory of gases?

padilas [110]

Answer:

Option a

Explanation:

The three basic and major points of the kinetic theory of gases are listed below:

1. In the collision between the gas molecules, no loss or gain of energy takes place.

2. According to the theory, the gaseous molecules exhibits constant and linear motion.

3. The molecules of the gas occupies very little space as compared to the container. Thus the empty space in a gas is not very little.

What is the speed of a 50 g rock if its de broglie wavelength is 3.32x10^-34m?

ivann1987 [24]

We can find the momentum of the rock by using De Broglie's relationship:
$p= \frac{h}{\lambda}$
where
p is the momentum
h is the Planck constant
$\lambda$ is the De Broglie's wavelength

By using $\lambda=3.32 \cdot 10^{-34} m$ , we find
$p= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{3.32 \cdot 10^{-34} m}=1.99 kg m/s$

The momentum of the rock is
$p=mv$
where $m=50 g=0.05 kg$ is the mass and v is its velocity. Rearranging the equation, we find the speed of the rock:
$v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.99 kg m/s}{0.05 kg}=39.8 m/s$
