Answer:

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

Explanation:

Let suppose that planet and satellite can be treated as particles. The masses of Earth and Moon (m_{E}, m_{M}) are 5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg and 7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg, respectively. The distance between centers is 384,403 kilometers. The location of the center of mass can be found by using weighted averages:

\bar x = \frac{x_{E}\cdot m_{E}+x_{M}\cdot m_{M}}{m_{E}+m_{M}}

If x_{E} = 0\,km and x_{M} = 384,403\,km, then:

\bar x = \frac{(0\,km)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)+(384,403\,km)\cdot (7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg)}{5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg+7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg}

\bar x = 4.673\,km

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

Determine the average value of the translational kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at (a) 27.8°C and (b) 143°C. Wh
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a) k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}

b) k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}

c)  k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol

d)   k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol

Explanation:

Average translation kinetic energy (k_{avg}) is given as

k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times kT    ....................(1)

where,

k = Boltzmann's constant ; 1.38 × 10⁻²³ J/K

T = Temperature in kelvin

a) at T = 27.8° C

or

T = 27.8 + 273 = 300.8 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300.8  

k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}J

b) at T = 143° C

or

T = 143 + 273 = 416 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 416  

k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}J

c ) The translational kinetic energy per mole of an ideal gas is given as:

       k_{mol}=A_{v}\times k_{avg}

here   A_{v} = Avagadro's number; ( 6.02×10²³ )

now at T = 27.8° C

        k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 6.22\times 10^{-21}

          k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol

d) now at T = 143° C

        k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 8.61\times 10^{-21}

          k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol
