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.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

= 236N

Explanation:

tension T = mg + ma

Given that,

m = 20kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

a = 2.0 m/s²

T = m(g + a)

T = 20( 9.8 + 2.0)

  = 20(11.8)

  = 236N

What is the kinetic energy of a an 80kg football player running at 8 m/s?
Ugo [173]
In the question it is already given that the football player is 80 kg.
Then the mass of the football player = 80 kg
Velocity at which the football player is running = 8 m/s
<span>Kinetic Energy = 0.5 • mass • square of velocity
Now we have to put the known data in this equation to find the actual velocity of the footballer.
</span> <span></span>So
Kinetic Energy of the footballer = 0.5 * 80 * (8 * 8)
                                                 = 0.5 * 80 * 64
                                                 = 2560
So the Kinetic energy of the footballer is 2560 joules
