Sea scorpions or Eurypterids lived about 251.9 million years ago. They were formidable predators and hunters, but they were wiped out in the Great Permian Mass Extinction, which is also known as the Great Dying (96% of all species on Earth went extinct).The largest species like Jaekelopterus was over 7 feet long! They were mainly thought to go extinct because of a slew of natural disasters that occurred when a comet hit the Earth, as well as increased volcanic activity polluting the seas that Sea scorpions lived in, as well as rising sea temperatures. The Silurian, when these Sea scorpions proliferated was when the water was cooler, holding in more nutrients, allowing both Sea Scorpions and other animals to spread all over the world. But as the oceans became polluted from the volcanoes (and the ash they produced) and the global ocean temperatures began to rise, many animals may not have been able to cope or adapt to the extreme change, becoming helpless in their nutrient deficient water (compared to what they were used to).
I hope this helps!
Answer:
d. The large pot of water and small cup of water have the same temperature, but the large pot of water has higher thermal energy.
Explanation:
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of individual molecules. While internal energy refers to the total kinetic energy of the molecules within the object. Since in this case we have the same amount of average kinetic energy, then the large pot of water and small cup of water have the same temperature. While the large pot of water has higher thermal energy, since has more water particles than the small cup.
Answer:
ugmd = 1/2 kx²
d = (1/2 kx²) / (ugm)
= (1/2 * 250 N/m * (0.2 m)²) / (0.23 * 9.81 m/s² * 0.3 kg)
= 7.4 m
ugmd = 1/2 mv²
v = √2ugd
= √(2(0.23)(9.81 m/s²)(7.4 m)
= 5.8 m/s
Explanation:
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>
