Answer:

A) Increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Given that mass, m = 2m

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½*2mv²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

2K.E = 2mv²

Hence, if the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy is increased by a factor of 2.

A 1,70 atm, una muestra de gas ocupa 4,25 litros. Si la presión en el gas aumenta a 2.40 atm, ¿cuál será el nuevo volumen?
statuscvo [17]

At 1.70 atm, a gas sample occupies 4.25 liters. If the pressure in the gas increases to 2.40 atm, what will the new volume be?

Answer:

3.01L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial pressure, P1  = 1.7atm

Initial volume, V1  = 4.25L

Final pressure, P2  = 2.4atm

Unknown:

Final or new volume, V2  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes, if the temperature is constant".

            P1 V1  = P2 V2

P1 is the initial pressure

V1 is the initial volume

P2 final pressure

V2 final volume

        1.7 x 4.25  = 2.4 x V2

             V2  = 3.01L

Galina-37 [17]
Ok so here is the thing. It is necessary to introduce the atomic number Z into the following equation and the reason for that is that we are not working here with hydrogen (H). It will go like this:  
<span>E=(2.18×10^-18 J)(Z^2 )|1/(ni^2 )-1/(nf^2 )| </span>
<span>E=(2.18×10^-18 J)(2^2 )|1/(6 ^2 )-1/(4 ^2 )|=3.02798×10^-19 J </span>

<span>After that we need to plug the E value calculated into the equation. Remember that the wavelength is always positive:</span>

<span>E=hc/λ 3.02798×10^-19 J=hc/λ λ=6.56×10^-7 m </span>

so 6.56×10^-7 m or better written 656 nm is in the visible spectrum

Travka [436]

Answer:

Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest

Explanation:

Given:

<em>Trial 1</em>

M₁ = 6·10²² kg

d₁ = 3 500 km = 3.5·10⁶ м

<em>Trial  2</em>

M₂ = 6·10²² kg

d₂ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м

<em>Trial  3</em>

M₃ = 3·10²² kg

d₃ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м

___________

F - ?

Gravitational force:

F₁ = G·m·M₁ / d₁² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (3.5·10⁶)² = 0.37·m  (N)

F₂ = G·m·M₂ / d₂² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.08·m  (N)

F₃ = G·m·M₃ / d₃² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·3·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.04·m  (N)

Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest
