Question

As the solar oven operate, what happens to the kinetic energy of the particles of matter in the air and the food inside

Answer 1

Answer:

The average kinetic energy of the particles of matter in the air and the food inside increases

Explanation:

The relationship between the average Kinetic energy and temperature is given by the following formula

K = 3×R×T/(2×$N_A$)

Where;

R = The universal gas constant = 8.314 J/(mol·K)

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms/mol

T = The temperature of the gases in Kelvin

Given that a solar oven is able to raise the temperature to about 200°F, food cooks slower than in a conventional oven

However, given that the temperature and the average kinetic energy are directly related, the average kinetic energy rises.
