Answer: in an ideal system, your classmate is right

Explanation:

Here I suppose that we are in a closed environment.

If all the particles had the same speed, and some of them are able to evaporate, then you have coexistence between liquid state and gas state, In this coexistence state, there is a line of pressure as a function of temperature where the coexistence is possible.

As some of the liquid evaporates, the volume of the gas is bigger than the one of the liquid, so the pressure in the system will increment a little bit, and the temperature will answer to it until the equilibrium is reached.

In equilibrium, the temperature will not change if we don't do anything to the system (assuming adiabatic walls).

here your classmate may be right

A thing you may know is that the temperature is an intensive quantity, which means that it does not depend on the number of particles in the mixture, so the fact that some of the particles "leave" the liquid does not imply that the liquid changes their temperature. And there is also useful to notice that the change of phase is at a constant temperature.

The molecules which evaporate presumably take heat away from the liquid. So, I'd disagree with the classmate. Whether the amount of cooling would differ from the usual case wherein the molecules have different speeds is another question. 
I guess the argument goes something along the lines of that the faster moving and therefore most kinetically energetic molecues evaporate and take away most heat. But if there's no faster moving molecules, 'cos they all have the same speed well, then presumably they'd all take away the same amount of heat. So, maybe the cooling would be less. No cooling though ??? Hmmmm dunno .... i think not ....

What is the lowest temperature that a substance can reach
irina1246 [14]
It's known as Absolute Zero. On the Kelvin scale, 0 is the lowest that anything can reach in temperature. It's supposedly impossible to reach, but it's the known limit.

The law of universal gravitation states that any two objects in the universe, without exception,
STatiana [176]
A. attract each other.

The Law of Universal Gravitation discusses the phenomenon of gravity. Remember that gravity is the force that keeps us on Earth; the Earth pulls us down, and our bodies pull back.  Gravity is the force of attraction, so the correct answer is a).

Ocean waves of wavelength 26 m are moving directly toward a concrete barrier wall at 4.0 m/s . The waves reflect from the wall,
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a) the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

wavelength λ = 26 m

velocity v = 4.0 m/s

a) How far from the wall is she?

Now, The first antinode is formed at a distance λ/2 from the wall, since the separation distance between the person and wall is;

x = λ/2

we substitute

x = 26 m / 2

x = 13 m

Therefore, the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) What is the period of her up-and-down motion?

we know that the relationship between frequency, wavelength and wave speed is;

v = fλ

hence, f = v/λ

we also know that frequency is expressed as the reciprocal of the time period;

f = 1/T

Hence

1/T = v/λ

solve for T

Tv = λ

T = λ/v

we substitute

T = 26 m / 4 m/s

T = 6.5 s

Therefore, the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is a=2,800m/s^{2}

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, v_{i}=-30m/s, final speed has a positive direction, v_{f}=26m/s, \Delta t=20ms=0.020s and mass m_{b}.

<u>Initial momentum</u>

p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s

<u>final momentum</u>

p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Impulse</u>

I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Average Force</u>

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}

<u>Average acceleration</u>

F=ma, so a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}.

Therefore, a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}
