Prove and state law of conservation of energy​
Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

<em>Law of conservation of energy states that the energy of a system is always constant. </em>

In other words, we can say that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

Mechanical energy (E) is the sum of the potential energy (U) and the kinetic energy (K) of the freely falling body. Therefore, <em><u>E=K+U=constant.</u></em>

Boltzmann’s constant is 1.38066×10−23 J/K, and the universal gas constant is 8.31451 J/K · mol. If 1.9 mol of a gas is confined
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is 8.49 × 10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

According to Kinetic Molecular Theory, the average kinetic energy of gas molecules is a function only of temperature and is given by the equation:

E=\frac{3}{2}kT

pV=nRT;\\T=\frac{pV}{nR}

Substituting the value of T in the kinetic energy equation:

E=\frac{3kpV}{2nR}

Where p is the pressure of the gas = 9 atm = 9 × 101325 pa

k is the Boltzmann’s constant  =  1.38066 × 10⁻²³ J/K,

V is the volume of the gas = 7.1 L = 7.1 × 10⁻³ m³

n is the number of moles of the gas = 1.9 mol

R is the universal gas constant = 8.31451 J/K · mol.

E is the average kinetic energy of a gas molecule

Substituting values:

E=\frac{3kpV}{2nR}=\frac{3*1.38066*10^{-23}*9*101325*7.1*10^{-3}}{2*1.9*8.31451}=8.49*10^{-21}J

The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is 8.49 × 10⁻²¹ J

A satellite, moving in an elliptical orbit, is 360 km above earth's surface at its farthest point and 180 km above at its closes
andreev551 [17]
Take the radius of the Earth 6 370 km.Then:
The semimajor axis:a = 6 370 + 360 = 6 730 km
Semiminor axis:b = 6 370 + 180 = 6 550 km
Eccentricity:ε = √ (a2+b2) / a = √ (6 7302+65502) / 6 730 ≈ 1.4
