39. When you heat a flask of water, how are you changing the ordered kinetic energy of the
1 answer:
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:
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).

Answer:
h2 = 0.092m
Explanation:
From a balance of energy from point A to point B, we get speed before the collision:
Solving for Vb:
Since the collision is elastic, we now that velocity of bead 1 after the collision is given by:
Now, by doing another balance of energy from the instant after the collision, to the point where bead 1 stops, we get the distance it rises:
Solving for h2:
h2 = 0.092m
