Which of the following situations would cause the greatest decrease in the motion of molecules in a system?

2 answers:

6 0

The answer is A. Q = -50 J, W = -50 J. A decrease in the motion of molecules in a system can be interpreted as a decrease or release in energy which means that energy should be negative. For the formula of energy:

U = Q + W

U is negative for the case of A. This gives the greatest decrease in the molecules' motion.

Answer:

Explanation:

Now, i will consider that W and A refers to the work and heat done/applied to the system

Always Q is related to the heat, so if Q is positive this means that the temperature of the system increase if Q is negative this means that heat is extracted from the system, and the temperature decreases, which implies that the motion of the particles decreases.

For the work is the same, if the applied work is positive, then the energy of the system increments (suppose a gas inside a piston, if you compress the piston the work is positive, and now the particles are close together, wich increments the temperature of the gas)

If the work is negative, this means that the system does the work, so the energy decreases, and also the motion of the particles, so the correct option A

1) True.
Uniform circular motion means that the angular velocity $\omega$ is constant, and since the centripetal acceleration is given by
$a=\omega ^2 r$
if $\omega$ is constant, then a is constant.

2) The correct answer is
a.) the angular velocity and linear velocities are the same
The three knots are in fact on a circle, therefore the angular velocities are the same (because they cover the same angle in the same time) and the linear velocities are the same as well, because it is given by
 $v=r \omega$
and since both r(distance from the center) and $\omega$ are the same, v is also the same.

3) b.) toward the center
In fact, an object can move on a circular path only if there is a force pushing towards the center. This force is called "centripetal force".

The ability to navigate, hunt, and communicate by electric current in water most likely helps make up for the effect of vision. The answer to your question is VISION.

If fish live in a dark, murky water, that means that their sense of vision is affected. In dark, murky water they could not see anything. So, fish that lives in this kind of water developed the ability to o navigate, hunt, and communicate by electric current in water. This ability is known as electroreception. Among fish, electroreception is present in some sharks and rays, and electric eels.

I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
