The average kinetic energy K.E(av) is measured by:

K.E(av)=3/2RT

the average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature .

When water freezes, the temperature decreases and therefore, the average kinetic energy will also decreases as well.

The length of time over which the conditions are measured

Explanation:

Weather captures the daily atmospheric conditions over a short duration hence it is short-term. Climate is the average of weather and covers a longer duration hence long-term. Therefore, what differentiatea these two is the length of time over which the conditions are measured.

What is the density of a piece of wood with a mass of 25 kg and a volume of 0.0385 m³?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

649kg/m^3

Explanation:

Let p be the density of this particular object.

Formula for density:

$p = \frac{mass \: (in \: kg)}{volume \: (in \: {m}^{3}) }$

We can substitute the givenmass and volume to find density of the object.

$p = \frac{25kg}{0.0385 {m}^{3} } \\ = 649kg \: per \: {m}^{3}$

Therefore the density of this object is 649kg/m^3.

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. If this is true then why are we always

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics states in an isolated system, the entropy (the amount of thermal energy that cannot be converted into mechanical work, also known as the amount of disorder) always increases, therefore, an isolated system always require an external input (new sources) of energy for there to be orderliness or for the available energy of the system to remain constant or increase

An infinite sheet carries a uniform, positive charge per unit area. The electric field produced by the sheet is represented by p

nexus9112 [7]

Complete Question

An infinite sheet carries a uniform, positive charge per unit area. The electric field produced by the sheet is represented by parallel lines drawn with a density N lines per m2 that are perpendicular to and away from the sheet. The charge per unit area on the sheet is doubled. How should the density of the electric field lines be changed?

A It should stay the same

B It should be quadrupled.

C It should be quintupled

D It should be doubled.

E It should be tripled

Answer:

Option D is the correct option

Explanation:

Generally electric field is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}$

Where $\sigma$ is the charge per unit area (Charge density )

From the question we are told that $\sigma$ is doubled hence the

$E = \frac{2 \sigma }{\epsilon_o}$

Looking the equation above we see that the value of the electric field will also double given that it is directly proportional to the charge density
