A. anything less than 3.0 magnitude on a richters scale usually can't be felt by humans but instruments can pick it up.
Answer:
C. molecules speed up as more thermal energy is added
Explanation:
The molecules will simply speed up as more thermal energy is added to the solid.
Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is set in motion.
- Heat causes kinetic energy build up in a body.
- As the molecules of the solid gains heat, they will continue to increase in thermal energy.
- They are forced to start vibrating about their fixed point.
- Thereafter, when they have enough energy, they break free from the forces holding them.
- Therefore, they move from a state of rest to one with a very high kinetic energy where the molecules moves rapidly.
- This is why a solid will change to liquid and sometimes eventually gas
Answer:
437500Joules
Explanation:
Kinetic energy=1/2mvsquare
1/2 x 1400 x 25 x25
kinetic energy= 437500Joules
Mass of a sample of gas doesn't change, no matter what happens to its pressure, volume, or temperature.
