Answer:

Increase in temperature

Increase in pressure

Explanation:

For the rate of collisions to increase, It can happen in various ways

1. The gasses can be made to move faster: This can be done by increasing their temperature. An increase in the temperature of the gases directly relates to a corresponding increase in their kinetic energy. This means that the molecules of the gases can move with a greater velocity, which will increase collision rates.

2. The volume of the container can be reduced: Consider this; If the container is made smaller, the molecules of the gases will have less space to move about. This means that they will be bumping into the walls of the container more frequently. This reduction in volume leads to an increase in the pressure of the gas. This is exactly what happens in a piston-cylinder assembly

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Both balls have the same speed.

Explanation:

Janelle throws the two balls from the same height, with the same speed. Both balls will have the same potential and kinetic energy. Energy must be conserved. When the balls pass Michael, again they must have the same potential and kinetic energy.

The diagram shows the movement of air as a result of convection currents. At which point is the air at its highest density?
stellarik [79]

When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object.  The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal.  We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object.  Heat is energy on the move.  

Units of heat are units of energy.  The SI unit of energy is Joule.  Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.

Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object.  Two objects of different temperature always interact.  There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another.  They are conduction, convection, and radiation.
