What three forms of kinetic energy can a polyatomic molecule have?

1 answer:

5 0

When an object moves, it possesses kinetic energy. There are five types of kinetic energy - radiant, thermal, sound, electrical (light) and mechanical (motion). I would say that the three forms of kinetic energy a polyatomic molecule have are thermal, electrical and mechanical energy. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

The moon is smaller and more dense than the Earth, and has less extreme temperature changes. The statement presented is True. In terms of temperature, since there is no atmosphere on the moon, then it has less extreme temperature changes. The moon can reach 253 Fahrenheit in the day and -387 Fahrenheit at night.

A carnival Ferris wheel has a 15-m radius and completes five turns about its horizontal axis every minute. What is the accelerat

Tanzania [10]

If a Ferris wheel has a 15-m radius and completes five turns about its horizontal axis every minute then the acceleration of a passenger at his lowest point during the ride is 4.11 $\text{m/s}^{2}$ .

Calculation:

Step-1:

It is given that the radius of the Ferris wheel is r=15 m, and the angular speed of the wheel is $\omega$ =5rev/min.

It is required to find the angular acceleration of a passenger at his lowest point during the ride.

The formula required to calculate the angular acceleration is, $a=\omega ^2 r$ .

Step-2:

Now substituting the given values into the equation to get the value of the angular acceleration.

$\begin{aligned}a &=\omega^{2} r \\&=(5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min})^{2}(15 \mathrm{~m}) \\&=\left(5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min} \times \frac{\left(\frac{2 \pi}{60}\right) \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}}{1 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min}}\right)^{2}(15 \mathrm{~m}) \\&=(0.2741 \times 15) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \\&=4.11 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\end{aligned}$
