Answer

the ratio of kinetic energies of oxygen molecule and hydrogen molecule if oxygen is 16 times heavier than hydrogen is 1

Explanation

The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule at temperature T is given by following formula

E =\frac{3kT}{2}...............(1)

Here k is Boltzmann's constant (k=1.38\times 10^{-23} JK^{-1}).

From above equation it is clear that average kinetic energy of a gas molecule only depends on temperature.

Therefore kinetic energy of oxygen molecule E_{1}=\frac{3kT}{2}....2

and kinetic energy of hydrogen molecule E_{2}=\frac{3kT}{2}....3

the ratio of kinetic energies of oxygen molecule and hydrogen molecule if oxygen is 16 times heavier than hydrogen is given as

\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}} =\frac{\frac{3kT}{2}}{\frac{3kT}{2}}

\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=1

Therefore, the ratio of kinetic energies of oxygen molecule and hydrogen molecule if oxygen is 16 times heavier than hydrogen is 1

A summary of a source is usually
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

A shorter than the original source and in the researcher's words

Explanation:

The summary is an abridged version of the original source and in the researcher's own very words.

Summaries gives an over-arching perspective and excludes implicit details from a given text.

A summary should not be detailed and must avoid overt illustrations. They must capture the true essence of piece leaving out flowery details.

A summary should be lesser in length than the original piece. Any third party reader should immediately be able to grab the details of the original piece from the summary.

What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 3 m and a frequency of .1Hz?
Yuri [45]
We know,
Speed = Frequency * Wavelength 
Speed = 3 * 0.1 m/s   [hertz = 1/sec.]
So, your final answer is 0.3 m/s

Hope this helps!!

How many planets are there?
beks73 [17]
Hi there!

Assuming you're asking about the solar system, there are nine planets. But, if you're wanting to know about the universe, there are trillions and trillions of planets (most of which we haven't yet discovered). 

Hope this helps!

A pan of ice is placed over a flame.
AveGali [126]
A. The molecules start packed together very tightly in a solid. Then when it turns to water, the molecules can move around each other freely, but still contained. When water turns to vapor, the molecules are going crazy moving around. They are not contained at all and bounce of of each other freely.

b. The temperature rises. (ice turns to water at 33 degrees and water turns to vapor at 212 degrees)
