How does a substance's temperatura chanté when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases? When it decreases?

1 answer:

7 0

Kinetic energy means movement. This means that the more something moves, the more kinetic energy it will have! And the faster something moves, the more heat it produces! Altogether, this means that the more Kinetic energy something has, the hotter it will be!

The opposite is also true. The less something moves, it will have less Kinetic energy and the colder it will get.

If you're having trouble understanding this, think of it like how the particles in water move compared to how the particles in ice move. The particles in water are free flowing and can move wherever they want. If they get colder, they won't move as much, and eventually they'll stop flowing around, forming a solid and staying colder than the water will get.

Question 4 (1 point)

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: 0.42 Amperes

Explanation:

Given that:

Current, I = ?

Electric charge Q = 100 coulomb

Time, T = 4.0 minutes

(The SI unit of time is seconds. so, convert 4.0 minutes to seconds)

If 1 minute = 60 seconds

4.0 minutes = 4.0 x 60 = 240 seconds

Since electric charge, Q = current x time

i.e Q = I x T

100 coulomb = I x 240 seconds

I = 100 coulomb / 240 seconds

I = 0.4167 Amperes (round to the nearest hundredth which is 0.42 amperes)

Thus, 0.42 Amperes of current flows in the circuit.

Why would companies want their sunscreen to absorb nearly all of the UV light?

miskamm [114]

Answer:

Sunscreen is like a shield, you would want a better shield to protect you than a weak one so companies try to make their sunscreen better than the rest.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Ans= 9

See attached picture for clearer solution.

Explanation:

The net electrostatic force acting on charge A = 2/ 2 + 2 /(2) 2 − 2 /(3) 2 = 2 / 2 (1 + 1/4 – 1/9 ) = 41/36 2/2 .

The net electrostatic force acting on charge B = 2/2 + 2/(2)2 − 2/2 = 1/4 2/d2 .

The net electrostatic force acting on charge C = 2/2 + 2/(2)2 + 2/2 = 2/2 (1 + 1 4 + 1) = 9/4 2/2 .

The net electrostatic force acting on charge D = 2/2+ 2 /(2)2 + 2/(3)2 = 2 /2 (1 + 1/4 + 1/9 ) = 49/36 2/ 2 .

The ratio of the largest to the smallest net force = 9/4*2/2 / 1/4 2/2 . = 9

How would you describe a fossil that was discovered in a rock at the base of a cliff to a fossil in a rock found at the top of a

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The one at the base would be much older due to the law of super position, and the rock at the top would be much newer,again, due to the law of super position.
