Answer:

A solid substance at its melting point has less energy than the same mass of the substance when it is a liquid at the same temperature. ... This heat energy allows the change of state to happen, and the temperature remains constant during the process.

A container of gas molecules is at a pressure of 2 atm and has amass density of 1.7 grams per liter. All of the molecules in the

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The speed of nitrogen molecule is 1.87 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure = 2 atm

Density = 1.7 grams/liter

Atomic weight = 28 grams

We need to calculate the temperature

Using formula of idea gas

$PV=nRT$

$P=\dfrac{WRT}{VM}$

$P=\dfrac{\rho RT}{M}$

$T=\dfrac{PM}{\rho R}$

Put the value into the formula

$T=\dfrac{2\times28}{1.7\times0.0821}$

$T=401.2\ K$

We need to calculate the speed of nitrogen molecule

Using formula of RMS speed

$V_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}$

$V_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times0.0821\times401.2}{28}}$

$V_{rms}=1.87\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of nitrogen molecule is 1.87 m/s.

A force is a vector quantity. What does that mean?

Inga [223]

Answer: Acceleration due to gravity

Explanation: Force, F = mg, is a vector quantity because the acceleration due to gravity, g, is a vector quantity. Explanation: F = mg Where m is the mass (in kilograms) of the object in question and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Mass is a scalar quantity; mass has no dependence on direction whatsoever.

A 60 kg block slides along the top of a 100 kg block with an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when a horizontal force F of 340 N is appl

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction and acceleration are 0.37 and 2.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Suppose we find the coefficient of friction and the acceleration of the 100 kg block during the time that the 60 kg block remains in contact.

Given that,

Mass of block = 60 kg

Acceleration = 2.0 m/s²

Mass = 100 kg
