<span>The distance between wave crests is called wavelength. It is a characteristic shared by waves of all kinds, including ocean waves and sound waves. Wavelength is measured from the highest point, or summit, of one wave's crest to the summit of the next wave's <span>crest</span></span>

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules _______, the average
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules increases, the average force of an individual collision increases, and the average number of collisions with the wall, per unit area, per second increases.

As volume is reduced, the gas molecules come closer together, which increases the number of collisions between them and their collisions with the container walls. Also, since the distance traveled by each molecule between successive collision decreases, the molecule velocity doesn't decrease much within collisions as a result of which, the average velocity is higher compared to when the gas is stored in a larger volume. Finally, due to constant collisions, the direction of molecule travel changes rapidly owing to which the acceleration of molecules increases.

Which element easily loses one electron to form a positive ion?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer/Explanation: As mentioned above, the characteristic chemical property of a metal atom is to lose one or more of its electrons to form a positive ion. However, certain metals lose electrons much more readily than others. In particular, cesium (Cs) can give up its valence electron more easily than can lithium (Li).

A cannon ball is fired directly upward with a velocity of 160 m/s. How long does it take to fall back to the ground? s How fast
Andrej [43]
To answer this problem, we will use the equations of motions.

Part (a):
For the ball to start falling back to the ground, it has to reach its highest position where its final velocity will be zero.
The equation that we will use here is:
v = u + at where
v is the final velocity = 0 m/sec
u is the initial velocity = 160 m/sec
a is acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/sec^2 (the negative sign is because the ball is moving upwards, thus, its moving against gravity)
t is the time that we want to find.
Substitute in the equation to get the time as follows:
v = u + at
0 = 160 - 9.8t
9.8t = 160
t = 160/9.8 = 16.3265 sec
Therefore, the ball would take 16.3265 seconds before it starts falling back to the ground

Part (b):
First, we will get the total distance traveled by the ball as follows:
s = 0.5 (u+v)*t
s = 0.5(160+0)*16.3265
s = 1306.12 meters
The equation that we will use to solve this part is:
v^2 = u^2 + 2as where
v is the final velocity we want to calculate
u is the initial velocity of falling = 0 m/sec (ball starting falling when it reached the highest position, So, the final velocity in part a became the initial velocity here)
a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (positive as ball is moving downwards)
s is the distance covered = 1306.12 meters
Substitute in the above equation to get the final velocity as follows:
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
v^2 = (0)^2 + 2(9.8)(1306.12)
v^2 = 25599.952 m^2/sec^2
v = 159.99985 m/sec
Therefore, the velocity of the ball would be 159.99985 m/sec when it hits the ground.

A child dangles a 1.50-kilogram stuffed toy 0.500 meters from the ground. What is the potential energy of the toy?
inn [45]
Since we know that
Gravitational potential energy = mass × height ×gravity

then

GPE = 1.5 kg x 0.500 m x 9.8m/s^2

therefore

GPE = 7.35 J
