Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Average kinetic energy is defined as half of mass of gas times the square of root mean square velocity.

Mathematically,    Average K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{rms}

Also,   Kinetic energy = \frac{3}{2}kT

So, when there is increase in temperature then there will be increase in movement of the molecules. As a result, kinetic energy will also increase. Since, kinetic energy is proportional to temperature.

Therefore, with decrease in temperature there will be decrease in average kinetic energy of the molecules.

Thus, we can conclude that the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a warm substance also decreases when the temperature of the substance is slightly decreased.

A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has __________ protons, __________ neutrons, and __________ electrons.
MAXImum [283]
<span><em>Answer:</em>
A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has <u>38</u> protons, <u>52</u> neutrons, and <u>36</u> electrons.

<em>Explanation:
</em>Atomic number<em> of </em>Strontium (Sr) is 38. 
<em>Atomic number = number of protons 
</em>Hence, Strontium has 38 protons.

If the element is in neutral state,
                number of protons = number of electrons. 
Then, neutral Strontium atom should have 38 electrons. 
But the question says Sr has lost 2 electrons. Hence, number of electrons should be 38 - 2 = 36.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

The given mass number is 90. Hence, number of neutrons should be 90 - 38 = 52.</span>

A circle has a radius of 5 feet and a central angle AOB that measures 10°. What is the length of the intercepted arc AB? Use 3.1
algol [13]
We are asked to solve for the arc length of the intercepted arc and the formula is shown below:
Arc length = 2*pi*r(central angle/360°)
r = 5 feet
central angle = 10°

Solving for the arc length, we have:
Arc length = 2*3.14*5 (10/360)
Arc length = 0.872 feet

The arc length is 0.872 feet.

Are ionic compounds goods
IRISSAK [1]

I don't know what you mean by just good, but electricity wise, no. In electricity they can't conduct very well and are just so called "heat carriers." They also have higher melting and/or boiling points. I found most of this on google so if you still are lost try looking up your question. Good luck! :)

5.8L of gas at 760 mmHg is expanded at a constant temperature until the pressure is 430 mmHg. What is the final volume of the ga
puteri [66]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D 10 l

Explanation:

Data

V1 = 5.8 l

P1= 760 mmHg

T 0 constant

P2 = 430 mmHg

V2 = ?

Formula

V1P1 = V2P2

and we clear V2 from the equation

V2 = V1P1/P2

V2 = (5.8)(760)/430)

V2 = 10.25 l

Why is a theory important in science?
UNO [17]

Answer:

Researchers use speculations to create innovations or discover a remedy for an ailment. Some feel that speculations become laws, yet hypotheses and laws have isolated and particular jobs in the logical strategy. A law is a portrayal of a watched marvel in the common world that remain constant each time it is tried.
