What quantity is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance?

Physics

It is the temperature of the particle. If it is hot, that means that there is a lot of kinetic energy within the particle.


Hope this helps!

A certain resistor dissipates 0.5 W when connected to a 3 V potential difference. When connected to a 1 V potential difference,
Stels [109]

Answer:

<h2>0.056 W</h2>

Explanation:

Power = IV

From ohms law we know that

V= IR\\\\I= \frac{V}{R} \\\\Power= \frac{V}{R}*V\\\\Power= \frac{V^2}{R}

Given data

P1 = 0.5 Watt

P2 = ?

V1= 3 Volts

V2= 1 Volt

Thus we can solve for the power dissipated as follows

P1= \frac{V1^2}{R1}\\\\P2= \frac{V2^2}{R2}

\frac{P1}{P2} = \frac{V1^2}{V2^2}\\\\ P2=\frac{ V2^2}{ V1^2} *P1\\\\ P2=\frac{ 1^2}{ 3^2} *0.5= 0.055= 0.056 W

<em>The  resistor will dissipate 0.056 Watt</em>

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Ai. Speed of the fragment with mass mA= 1.35 kg is 34.64 m/s

Aii. Speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg is 77.46 m/s

B. 475.3 m

Explanation:

A. Determination of the speed of each fragment.

I. Determination of the speed of the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg

Mass of fragment (m₁) = 1.35 kg

Kinetic energy (KE) = 810 J

Velocity of fragment (u₁) =?

KE = ½m₁u₁²

810 = ½ × 1.35 × u₁²

810 = 0.675 × u₁²

Divide both side by 0.675

u₁² = 810 / 0.675

u₁² = 1200

Take the square root of both side.

u₁ = √1200

u₁ = 34.64 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg is 34.64 m/s

II. I. Determination of the speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg

Mass of fragment (m₂) = 0.270 kg

Kinetic energy (KE) = 810 J

Velocity of fragment (u₂) =?

KE = ½m₂u₂²

810 = ½ × 0.270 × u₂²

810 = 0.135 × u₂²

Divide both side by 0.135

u₂² = 810 / 0.135

u₂² = 6000

Take the square root of both side.

u₂ = √6000

u₂ = 77.46 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg is 77.46 m/s

B. Determination of the distance between the points on the ground where they land.

We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the fragments to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Maximum height (h) = 90.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

90 = ½ × 10 × t²

90 = 5 × t²

Divide both side by 5

t² = 90/5

t² = 18

Take the square root of both side

t = √18

t = 4.24 s

Thus, it will take 4.24 s for each fragments to get to the ground.

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg. This is illustrated below:

Velocity of fragment (u₁) = 34.64 m/s

Time (t) = 4.24 s

Horizontal distance travelled by the fragment (s₁) =?

s₁ = u₁t

s₁ = 34.64 × 4.24

s₁ = 146.87 m

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg. This is illustrated below:

Velocity of fragment (u₂) = 77.46 m/s

Time (t) = 4.24 s

Horizontal distance travelled by the fragment (s₂) =?

s₂ = u₂t

s₂ = 77.46 × 4.24

s₂ = 328.43 m

Finally, we shall determine the distance between the points on the ground where they land.

Horizontal distance travelled by the 1st fragment (s₁) = 146.87 m

Horizontal distance travelled by the 2nd fragment (s₂) = 328.43 m

Distance apart (S) =?

S = s₁ + s₂

S = 146.87 + 328.43

S = 475.3 m

Therefore, the distance between the points on the ground where they land is 475.3 m

A sound wave has a speed of 343 m/s in air. What is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 686 Hz
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Wavelength is the distance between 2 adjacent points in a wave

we can use the following equation to find the wavelength of a sound wave

wavelength = speed / frequency

frequency is the number of waves passing a point in 1 second

substituting the values in the equation

wavelength = 343 m/s / 686 Hz

wavelength = 0.5 m

wavelength of the wave is 0.5 m

How does this diagram demonstrate the law of superposition?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

well, as u can tell the top layer will always be the youngest layer aka the newest layer. The farther u go down the older the layers get. So the deeper u dig the farther back in time we see.
