Answer:

The average kinetic energy of the molecules increases

Explanation:

The temperature of a substance is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance.

In fact, for an ideal gas for instance, there is the following relationship:

$KE=\frac{3}{2}kT$

where

KE is the average kinetic energy of the particles

k is the Boltzmann's constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

When we heat a substance (such as the flask of water in this problem), we are giving thermal energy to the particles of the substance; therefore, these particles will move faster on average, so their kinetic energy will increase (and the temperature of the substance will increase as well).

In comparison with other ocean basins, major sedimentary features such as continental rises and abyssal plains are relatively ra

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Why are continental rises and abyssal plains relatively rare in the Pacific? This is because the extensive system of trenches along the active margins of the Pacific, trap much of the sediments flowing off the continents, preventing them from building the broad, flat abyssal plains typical of the Atlantic ocean basins.

A wave has a frequency of 875 hz and a wavelength of 352 m. At what speed is this wave traveling

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

308,000 or 30.8×10^3

Explanation:

v=f×lamda

v is ?, f is 875Hz, lamda is 352m

v=875×352

v=308,000

v=30.8×10^3 m/s

Which would melt first, germanium with a melting point of 1210 k or gold with a melting point of 1064oc?

iren2701 [21]

<span>Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>

Water is contained in a closed, rigid 0.2 m 3 tank at an initial pressure of 5 bar and a quality of 50%. Heat transfer occurs un

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Final mass=0.89kg

Final pressure=5.6bar

Explanation:

To find mass,m=v/v1

But v1=vf + x(vg-vf)

Vf= 0.001093m^3/kg

Vg= 0.3748m^3/kg

V1= 0.001093+0.5(0.3748-0.001093)

V1= 0.225m^3/kg

M= 0.20/0.225 =0.89kg

Final pressure will be:

V/V1= P/P1

Cross multiply

VP1=V1P

P1= 0.225×5/0.2

P1=:5.6 bar
