Statement I: At the same temperature lighter gas molecules have a higher average velocity than heavier gas molecules.

Physics
1 answer:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Statement 1 and statement 2 are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1

Explanation:

Both the velocity and kinetic energy of a gas molecule depends on its relative molecular mass according to Graham's law of diffusion in gases. Hence, the greater the relative molecular mass of the gas, the lesser its average velocity and kinetic energy.

Hence we can see that statement 2 vividly explains the postulation of statement 1 and makes the points more easily comprehensible.

shirley knott, a 65kg astronaut holds a 12kg tank of oxygen, which she throws backwards at 2.2m/s. with what speed does she move
babymother [125]

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of momentum and speed.

She moves with a speed of "0.41 m/s".

Applying the law of conservation of momentum to this situation, we get:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = mass of shirley = 65 kg

m₂ = mass of tank = 12 kg

u₁ = initial speed of shirley = 0 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of tank = 0 m/s

v₁ = final speed of shirley = ?

v₂ = final speed of tank = 2.2 m/s

Therefore,

(65\ kg)(0\ m/s)+(12\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(65\ kg)(v_1)+(12\ kg)(2.2\ m/s)\\\\v_1=\frac{-26.4\ kg.m/s}{65\ kg}\\\\v_1=-0.41\ m/s

negative sign shows the opposite direction.

If the numbers on the plate are 6.0 cm apart, and the spy satellite is at an altitude of 160 km , what must be the diameter of t
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The diameter of the camera aperture must be greater than or equal to 1.49m

Explanation:

Let the distance separating two objects, x = 6.0 cm = 0.06 m

The distance between the observer and the two objects, d = 160 km = 160000 m

Let ∅ = minimum angular separation between the two objects that the satellite can resolve

tan( ∅) = x/d

Since there is minimum angular separation, tan( ∅) ≈∅

∅ = x/d

∅ = 0.06/160000

∅ = 3.75 * 10⁻⁷rad

For the satellite to be able to resolve the objects,

D ≥ 1.22λ/∅

λ = 560 nm = 560 * 10⁻⁹

D  ≥ 1.22 *  (560 * 10⁻⁹)/(3.75 * 10⁻⁷)

D  ≥ 149.33 * 10⁻² m

D  ≥ 1.49 m
