The temperature of a gas molecule is measured by the average translational kinetic energy

ira [324]3 years ago

Answer:

The temperature of a gas is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy of the molecules. In a hot gas, the molecules move faster than in a cold gas; the mass remains the same, but the kinetic energy, and hence the temperature, is greater because of the increased velocity of the molecules

Explanation:

This is also from Go0gle because my explanation would've been an essay long .

but in shorter version if the gas molecules move fast it's hot an if it moves slow its cold hope this helps .

How do earthquakes affect earths surface?

ivanzaharov [21]

Some of the reasons that can cause can earthquake are volcanic eruptions, the grinding of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust and violent explosions which can be artificially induced as well. No matter what the reason is, earthquakes affect the environment and earth's surface. Noticeable cracks have formed on the earth's surface after earthquakes. If the tremors are violent, it can result in the destruction of landscapes. The mountains become prone to land sliding. the glacier's become a threat because of fear of avalanches. tsunamis which are earthquakes in the ocean bed can cause heavy flooding which causes water to cross all boundaries and shores and flood entire cities. Earthquakes caused by volcanoes can result in the spewing of so much lava that it may spill everywhere and cool changing the surface of the earth geologically as well as the ash causing aerial pollution.

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1. 2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf v_i= 4 \ m/s}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the cyclist's initial velocity. We are given the acceleration, final velocity, and time, so we will use the following kinematic equation.

$v_f= v_i + at$

The cyclist is acceleration at 1.2 meters per second squared. After 10 seconds, the velocity is 16 meters per second.

$v_f$ = 16 m/s
a= 1.2 m/s²
t= 10 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

$16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2)(10 \ s)$

Multiply.

$16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2 * 10 \ s)$

$16 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s$

We are solving for the initial velocity, so we must isolate the variable $v_i$ . Subtract 12 meters per second from both sides of the equation.

$16 \ m/s - 12 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s -12 \ m/s$

$4 \ m/s = v_i$

The cyclist's initial velocity is <u>4 meters per second.</u>

NARA [144]

To find the horizontal distance multiple the horizontal velocity by the time. Since there is no given time it must be calculated using kinematic equation.

Y=Yo+Voyt+1/2at^2
0=.55+0+1/2(-9.8)t^2
-.55=-4.9t^2
sqrt(.55/4.9)=t
t=0.335 seconds

Horizontal distance
=0.335s*1.2m/s
=0.402 meters
