Answer:

Temperature is always directly proportional to average kinetic energy of the material.

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy is given by the formula

$\mathrm{K}=\frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N A} T$

Where K = average kinetic energy . R = gas constant , NA = avogadro's number, T = temperature

From the formula we can clearly see that K is directly proportional to T i.e kinetic energy increases with increase in temperature.

As a substance when it absorbs the heat , temperature increases which makes the faster movement of the particles thus increasing the kinetic energy.The above formula is applicable to gaseous molecules.

galina1969 [7]

Answer: When the electric field due to one is a maximum, the electric field due to the other is also a maximum, and this relation is maintained as time passes. They alternatively reinforce and cancel each other.

Explanation:

In a wave, the phase, is an arbitrary time reference, used to locate a given point of the wave in time, within a cycle.

Two waves can travel at the same speed, or even have the same wavelength, but this is not enough to be sure that at a given point in time, both waves will be in their maximum, as it only can be determined from the phase of the waves.

So, only when the waves reach at the same point in time at the same amplitude, we can say that they arrive in phase, in a constructive interference.

suppose you are walking home after school. The distance from school to your home is five kilometers. on foot you can get home in

agasfer [191]

If it takes ten minutes to travel 5 km, then it'll take 60 minutes to travel thirty, making your biking speed 30 kilometers per hour. 25 minutes divided by ten is 2.5. multiply 5 by 2.5 to get 12.5, your average walking speed.

qaws [65]

Answer: through digested food

Explanation: cells get their sugar molecules from the food that is taken in by an organism. The food taken in is digested by the stomach into base materials like sugar, fatty acids and amino acids. These base materials are circulated through the blood till they get to the cells where they are needed.

6. What is the change in temperature of a metal rod that is 55.0 cm long, decreases length by 0.20 cm, and that has a coefficien

MrMuchimi

Explanation:

We have,

Length of a metal rod is 55 cm or 0.55 m

Change in length is 0.2 cm or 0.002 m

It is required to find the change in temperature of a metal rod. The coefficient of linear expansion is given by :

$\alpha =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0\Delta T}$
