Answer:

Pressure

Explanation:

One of the theories propounded by the Kinetic molecular theory, and which also provides an explanation of the several gas laws, is the statement that the gas molecules in a container, travel in straight lines and are in constant collision with themselves and the walls of the container, thus exerting force. This force is the pressure which is defined as the force per unit area.

There is no loss of energy in the collisions involving the gas molecules and that is why their movement can be described as elastic. The descriptions of the behavior of gas molecules in the Kinetic Molecular Theory, give rise to Charles law, Boyle's Law, Avogadro's Laws, Dalton's Law, and Amonton's Law.

Answer:

<em>The pressure</em>

Explanation:

Molecules of gases are constantly in motion, colliding with the walls of their container. This constant collision impacts force on the walls of the container, which depends on the speed with which the molecules are moving. The speed with which these molecules travel depends on the average kinetic energy of the molecules, which is proportional to the temperature.

This force when exerted per unit area is the <em>pressure</em> the gases exert on the walls of the container.

Q. No. 9 A body falls freely from the top of a tower and during the last second of its fall, it falls through 25m. Find the heig
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

45.6m

Explanation:

The equation for the position y of an object in free fall is:

y=-\frac{1}{2} gt^2+v_0t+y_0

With the given values in the question the equation has one unknown v₀:

v_0=\frac{y-y_0}{t}+\frac{1}{2}gt

Solving for t=1:

1) v_0=y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}

To find the hight of the tower you can use the concept of energy conservation:

The energy of the body 1 sec before it hits the ground:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}m{v_0}^2+mgy_0

If h is the height of the tower, the energy on top of the tower:

3) E=mgh

Combining equation 2 and 3 and solving for h:

4) h=\frac{{v_0}^2}{2g}+y_0

Combining equation 1 and 4:

h=\frac{{(y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}})^2}{2g}+y_0

The law of reflection says that the angle of incidence is
nekit [7.7K]
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Furthermore, the law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

hope this helps :)

Which landform is produced at location E where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of
mixer [17]

Answer:

a delta

Explanation:

The landform produced at the location E where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of Mexico is a delta.

A delta is a depositional landform where a smaller body of water enters into a larger one.

The Gulf of Mexico contains a larger body of water and as the Mississippi river enters into it, it splits up into many distributaries.

So, this feature is a delta.
