Answer:
An Atom's individual speed will change as it collides with other atoms, so we have to use an average.
Explanation:
In a gas a single atoms does an assortment of things during its time in the gas—sometimes it collides with an other atom gaining a lot of speed, sometimes losing a lot of speed in the collision, and sometimes just moving freely. Therefore: the motion of one individual atom is unpredictable, and it cannot be representative of all the the atoms in a gas, which is why we must average over all speeds of all atoms to find an average speed that allows us to calculate other quantities like temperature and pressure of the gas.
Hence, the second option <em>"an Atom's individual speed will change as it collides with other atoms, so we have to use an average" </em>stands correct.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
A floating ice block is pushed through a displacement vector d = (15m)i - (12m)j along a straight embankment by rushing water, which exerts a force vector F = (210N)i - (150N)j on the block. How much work does the force do on the block during displacement?
Answer: W = 4950J
Explanation: <u>Work</u> (W), in physics, is done when a force acts on an object that has a displacement form a place to another:
W = F · d
As the formula shows, Work is a scalar product, i.e, it results in a number, so, Work only has magnitude.
Force and displacement for the ice block are in 2 dimensions, then work will be:
W = (210)i - (150)j · (15)i - (12)j
W = (210*15) + (150*12)
W = 3150 + 1800
W = 4950J
During the displacement, the ice block has a work of 4950J
Answer:
Explanation:
for vertical movement , time to reach the top = time to reach the hand = 2.5 s
v = u - gt
At the top , v = 0 , time t = 2.5 s
0 = u - g x 2.5
u = 2.5 x 9.8 = 24.5 m /s
velocity of throw = 24.5 m /s
So , when it passes the hand on its way down , it will have velocity equal to 24.5 m /s and it will accelerate downwards . Let its velocity down by 22 m be v
v² = u² + 2 g s
= 24.5² + 2 x 9.8 x 22
= 600.25 + 431.2
= 1031.45
v = 32.11 m /s .
This is most likely an example of kinetic energy.
