Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Pressure is always inversely proportional to the cross section area

This can be proven from the equation P = F/A

Where P = Pressure, F = Force and A = Cross-sectional area

This can also be similarly proven from the continuity equation given as

A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

Where A₁ = Area in first part of pipe (point A)

A₂ = Area in second part of pipe (point B)

V₁ = Velocity of water in first part of pipe (point A)

V₂ = Velocity of water in second part of pipe (point B)

From the continuity equation we can have that

V₁/V₂ = A₂/A₁

Thus the velocity of the liquid at any point in the pipe is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the pipe. The liquid will be moving  slowly where the area is large and will be moving rapidly where the area  is small, and since the velocity is directly proportional to the force (F = m × v/t)which id in turn directly proportional to the pressure (P = F/A), this proves my answer to be True!

What is the reverse of vaporization?
Naddik [55]
Answer: condensation.

Vaporization is the pass from liquid state to gaseous state.

Then the reverse is the transformation from gaseous state to liquid state.

That is called condensation.

When the water vaporizes the liquid transforms into vapor which goes to the atmosphere. When the water vapor of the atmosphere condensates liquid water is formed. You can see condensation when you have a glass with cold water and drops of water form in the exterior of the glass: those drops are liquid water that formed when the vapor of the air that surrounds the glass cools due to the lower temperature of the surface of the glass.

What is the average velocity of atoms in 1.00 mol of neon (a monatomic gas) at 465 K? For m, use 0.0202 kg.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: 757m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mole of neon gas = 1.00 mol

Temperature = 465k

Mass = 0.0202kg

Using the ideal gas equation. For calculating the average kinetic energy molecule :

0.5(mv^2) = 3/2 nRt

Where ;

M = mass, V = volume. R = gas constant(8.31 jK-1 mol-1, t = temperature in Kelvin, n = number of moles

Plugging our values

0.5(0.0202 × v^2) = 3/2 (1 × 8.31 × 465)

0.0101 v^2 = 5796.225

v^2 = 5796.225 / 0.0101

v^2 = 573883.66

v = √573883.66

v = 757.55109m/s

v = 757m/s

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object squared. This means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.
