When the lemon is cut, it releases gaseous molecules into the surrounding air which are responsible for the lemon's smell. These molecules move slowly at room temperature and the distance that they must cover, in relevance to their size, is immense. These reasons contribute to the fact that the smell takes a while to reach the other side of the room.

The process of _____ is involved in the operation of all heat engines.
faltersainse [42]

The process of heat exchange is involved in the operation of all heat engines.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A heat engine refers as the system which converts thermal or heat and chemical energy into mechanical energy. Then, these can be utilised for mechanical work. This is done by raising the active substances from higher to lower temperature state. In simple words, it produces macroscopic movement from the heat.

For example, when people rub their hands, friction converts mechanical energy (the movement of our hands) into thermal energy (hands warm up). Heat engines work exactly the opposite; they take energy to warm up (in relation to the environment) and release it for movement. This movement is often transformed into electricity by a generator.  It shows that there is exchange of heat involved in all of its processes.

what is the average acceleration of a four wheeler that speeds up from 3 miles per hour to 15 miles per hour in 0.6 hours
den301095 [7]
A= change in velocity / change in time

a  =  \frac{change \: in \: velocity}{change \: in \: time}
a =  \frac{15 - 3}{0.6}
a = 20 \:  \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }
