What determines an object’s thermal energy

Physics
1 answer:
Tems11 [23]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

temperature and mass

Explanation:

  • The higher the temperature of a given quantity of a substance, more is its thermal energy.

  • If a substance contains more mass, this also implies that the object has more particles in it . hence, it has high thermal energy.

<em><u>A</u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>l</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>I</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u>f</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>r</u></em><em><u>m</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u> </u></em>:

  • Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

  • The thermal energy of an object depends on three factors:

  1. number of molecules in the object
  2. temperature of the object.
  3. thermal energy it has.

Two electrons with a charge of magnitude 1.6×10-19 C in an atom are separated by 1.5×10-10 m, the typical size of an atom. What
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N, repulsive

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charged particles is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges of the two particles

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is:

- repulsive if the two charges have  same  sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite signs

In this problem, we have two electrons, so:

q_1=q_2=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the magnitude of the two electrons

r=1.5\cdot 10^{-10} m is their separation

Substituting into the formula, we find the electric force between them:

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})^2}{(1.5\cdot 10^{-10})^2}=1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N

And the force is repulsive, since the two electrons have same sign charge.

How can you prove the mechanical nature of sound by a simple experiment
Kruka [31]

Answer:

That is, mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum. This feature of mechanical waves is often demonstrated in a Physics class. A ringing bell is placed in a jar and air inside the jar is evacuated. Once air is removed from the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard.
