Explain how thermal energy (temperature) affects chemical changes.

1 answer:

8 0

If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.

A motorcycle is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the motorcycle accelerates to a speed of 91 km/h over a

zimovet [89]

Given :

Initial speed , u = 0 m/s .

Final speed , v = 91 km/h = 25.28 m/s .

To Find :

a) Average acceleration .

b ) Assuming the motorcycle maintained a constant acceleration, how far is it from the traffic light after 3.3 s .

Solution :

a )

We know ,by equation of motion :

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{25.28^2-0^2}{2\times 47}\ m/s^2\\\\a=6.8\ m/s^2$

Also , by equation of motion :

$s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\s=0+\dfrac{6.8\times (3.3)^2}{2}\ m\\\\s=37.02\ m$

Hence , this is the required solution .

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?

Degger [83]

There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

Answer: The total momentum before the docking maneuver is $mV_{1}+MV_{2}$ and after the docking maneuver is $(m+M) U$

Explanation:

Linear momentum $p$ (generally just called momentum) is defined as mass in motion and is given by the following equation:

$p=m.v$

Where $m$ is the mass of the object and $v$ its velocity.

According to the conservation of momentum law:

"If two objects or bodies are in a closed system and both collide, the total momentum of these two objects before the collision $p_{i}$ will be the same as the total momentum of these same two objects after the collision $p_{f}$ ".
