Answer:
(a) 1462.38 m/s
(b) 2068.13 m/s
Explanation:
(a)
The Kinetic energy of the atom can be given as:
K.E = (3/2)KT
where,
K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k
K.E = Kinetic Energy of atoms = 343 K
T = absolute temperature of atoms
The K.E is also given as:
K.E = (1/2)mv²
Comparing both equations:
(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT
v² = 3KT/m
v = √[3KT/m]
where,
m = mass of Helium = (4 A.M.U)(1.66 X 10⁻²⁷ kg/ A.M.U) = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
v = RMS Speed of Helium Atoms = ?
Therefore,
v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(343 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]
<u>v = 1462.38 m/s</u>
(b)
For double temperature:
T = 2 x 343 K = 686 K
all other data remains same:
v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(686 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]
<u>v = 2068.13 m/s</u>
Answer:
Explanation:
Acceleration
is expressed in the following formula:
Where:
is the final velocity of the projectile
is the initial velocity of the projectile
is the time
Solving:
This is the acceleration of the projectile
Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).
KE = (1/2)·(mass)·(speed)²
KE = (1/2)·(50 kg)·(18 m/s)²
KE = (25 kg)·(324 m²/s²)
KE = 8,100 kg-m²/s²
KE = 8,100 Joules
