Explanation:

The five basic postulate of kinetic molecular theory includes:

1) All gases consist of large amount and numbers of tiny particles that are far apart from each other and also relative to their size.

2) The collisions between gas particles and gas particles against container walls is refer to as elastic collision.

3) All gas particles are in a continuous random and rapid motion. They possess kinetic energy which is energy of motion.

4) There are no attractive force between gas particles.

5) The temperature of a gas depends on the average kinetic energy of the gas particle.

To travel at constant speed, a car engine provides 24KW of useful power. The driving force on the car is 600N. At what speed doe

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The speed traveled by the car is 40 meter per second.

Explanation:

The formula for the relation between the power and the force is as follows:

P = Fv

Where F is the force and v is the speed.

As given

To travel at constant speed, a car engine provides 24KW of useful power. The driving force on the car is 600N.

F = 600 N

Convert power from KW to W.

1 KW = 1000 W

24 KW = 24 × 1000 W

= 24000 W

Thus

P = 24000 W

Put these values in the formula.

24000 = 600 × v

24000 = 600v

$v = \frac{24000}{600}$

v = 40 meter per second .

Therefore the speed of the car is 40 meter per second .

Why is the density of iron higher than the density of oxygen?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Density of iron is higher than the density of oxygen because iron is solid and the particles in it are very compact but oxygen is not dense as it is gas and particles in it are loosely packed.
