Answer:

16613 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the fly, m = 0.55 g = 0.55*10^-3 kg

Kinetic Energy of the fly, E = 7.6*10^4 J

Speed of the fly, v = ? m/s

We know that the Kinetic Energy is that energy that an object, in this case, the fly, possesses due to its motion.

The Kinetic Energy, KE of any object is represented by the formula

KE = 1/2 * m * v²

If we substitute the values in the relation, we have,

7.6*10^4 = 1/2 * 0.55*10^-3 * v²

v² = (15.2*10^4) / 0.55*10^-3

v² = 2.76*10^8

v = √2.76*10^8

v = 16613 m/s

Thus, the fly would need a speed of 16.6 km/s in order to have a Kinetic Energy of 7.6*10^4 J

Answer:

0º - 23.5º - 45º - 90º

Explanation:

The inclination angle of the Earth's axis with respect to its orbit around the Sun, determines that the duration enters the day and the night is different.

If it is not inclined (angle 0º) the two and niches have the same hardness

If the angle were very high (about 90º) the night would be very long, about half of the orbit period about six months.

Based on this presentation we can answer the question

0º - 23.5º - 45º - 90º

A cubical box measuring 1.29 m on each side contains a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm How much thermal energy do t

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a) $U = 652.545\,kJ$ , b) $v \approx 659.568\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

a) According to the First Law of Thermodinamics, the system is not reporting any work, mass or heat interactions. Besides, let consider that such box is rigid and, therefore, heat contained inside is the consequence of internal energy.

$Q = U$

The internal energy for a monoatomic ideal gas is:

$U = \frac{3}{2} \cdot n \cdot R_{u} \cdot T$

Let assume that cubical box contains just one kilomole of monoatomic gas. Then, the temperature is determined from the Equation of State for Ideal Gases:

$T = \frac{P\cdot V}{n\cdot R_{u}}$
