Answer:
The kinetic energy of an object is also measured in joules. Anything that is moving has kinetic energy, but various factors affect how much kinetic energy an object has. The first factor is speed. If two identical objects are moving at different speeds, the faster object has more kinetic energy. In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.

Answer:
The biological significance is that it is the normal human body temperature and also the optimum temperature of the enzyme.
Explanation:
- Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
- Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by working on a specific substrate to convert it into a product.
- The rate of enzyme activity depends on several factors which include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration among others.
- Enzymes work best at a specific pH and temperature known as optimum pH and optimum temperature respectively.
- In this case, enzyme amylase works best at a temperature of 37° C which is equivalent to the normal human body temperature.
Answer:
Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.
The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.

here is a Quizlet I have for that
Answer:
b. ΔE rxn is a measure of heat
Explanation:
a. ΔHrxn is the heat of reaction. <em>TRUE. </em>ΔHrxn or change in enthalpy of reaction is per definition the change in heat that is involved in a chemical reaction.
b. ΔErxn is a measure of heat. <em>FALSE. </em>Is the change in internal energy of a reaction
c. An exothermic reaction gives heat off heat to the surroundings. <em>TRUE</em>. An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases heat.
d. Endothermic has a positive ΔH. <em>TRUE. </em>When a process is exothermic ΔH<0 and when the process is endothermic ΔH>0
e. Enthalpy is the sum of a system's internal energy and the product of pressure and volume. <em>TRUE. </em>Under constant pressure and volume the formula is ΔH = ΔE + PV
