Describe the kinetic molecular theory

1 answer:

8 0

The kinetic theory of gases is a simple, historically significant model of the thermodynamic behavior of gases, with which many principal concepts of thermodynamics were established. The model describes a gas as a large number of identical submicroscopic particles, all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion

What constant acceleration is required to increase the speed of a car from 20 mi/h to 51 mi/h in 3 seconds

sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity

a = (51 - 20) / 3 = 10⅓ mi/hr/s

which should probably be converted to standard units.

10⅓ mi/hr/s(5280 ft/mi) / 3600 s/hr) = 15.15555... ≈ 15.2 ft/s²

which is roughly half the acceleration of gravity.

Electrons flow from the negative terimal of a

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The electrons flow from negative terminal of a battery to the positive terminal because as the charge of electron is negative, it will get repelled by the negative terminal of the battery

Conventional flow actually assumes that the current flows out of the positive terminal, through the circuit and into the negative terminal of the battery

It actually says that direction of flow of current is in opposite direction to the direction of flow of electrons

The direction of current will not change even a resistor is placed in the circuit and it generates a potential difference across the resistor

But the current tries to move in such a way in which there will be less resistance to the flow

You pick up a 10-newton book off the floor and put it on a shelf 2 meters high. How much work did you do?

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the book is, $W=10\ N$

Height or displacement of the book is, $d=2\ m$

The work done on the book to raise it to a height of 2 m on a shelf is against gravity. The gravitational force acting on the book is equal to its weight. Now, in order to raise it, an equal amount of force must be applied in the opposite direction.

So, the force applied by me should be equal to weight of the body and in the upward direction. The displacement is also in the upward direction.

Now, work done by the applied force is equal to the product of force applied and displacement of book in the direction of the applied force.

Therefore, work done is given as:

$Work=W\times d\\Work=10\times 2=20\ J$

Therefore, the work done to raise a book to a height 2 m from the floor is 20 J.

A thin nonconducting rod with a uniform distribution of positive charge Q is bent into a complete circle of radius R. The centra

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

(a). If z = 0, The electric field due to the rod is zero.

(b). If z = ∞, The electric field due to the rod is $E\propto\dfrac{1}{z^2}$ .

(c). The positive distance is $\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{2}}$

(d). The maximum magnitude of electric field is $1.54\times10^{4}\ N/C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 2.00 cm

Charge = 4.00 mC

(a). If the radius and charge are R and Q.

We need to calculate the electric field due to the rod

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\dfrac{Qz}{(z^2+R^2)^{\frac{2}{3}}}$

Where, Q = charge

z = distance

If z = 0,

Then, The electric field is

$E=0$

(b). If z = ∞, z>>R

So, R = 0

Then, the electric field is

$E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\dfrac{Q}{z^2}$

$E\propto\dfrac{1}{z^2}$

(c). In terms of R,

We need to calculate the positive distance

If $E\rightarrow E_{max}$

Then, $\dfrac{dE}{dz}=0$

$\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}(\dfrac{(z^2+R^2)^\frac{3}{2}-\dfrac{3z}{2}(z^2+R^2)^\dfrac{1}{2}}{(z^2+R^2)^2})=0$

Taking only positive distance

$z=\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{2}}$

(d). If R = 2.00 and Q = 4.00 mC

We need to calculate the maximum magnitude of electric field

Using formula of electric field

$E_{max}=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\dfrac{Qz}{(z^2+R^2)^{\frac{2}{3}}}$

$E_{max}=9\times10^{9}\times\dfrac{4.0\times10^{-6}\times\dfrac{2.00}{\sqrt{2}}}{((\dfrac{2.00}{\sqrt{2}})^2+(2.00)^2)^{\frac{2}{3}}}$

$E_{max}=15418.7\ N/C$

$E_{max}=1.54\times10^{4}\ N/C$

Hence, (a). If z = 0, The electric field due to the rod is zero.

(b). If z = ∞, The electric field due to the rod is $E\propto\dfrac{1}{z^2}$ .

(c). The positive distance is $\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{2}}$

(d). The maximum magnitude of electric field is $1.54\times10^{4}\ N/C$

b) The distance of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 427 light years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it woul

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Betelgeuse would be $\approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6}$ times brighter than Sirius

c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is $\approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} }$ the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect

Explanation:

The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:

$B = \displaystyle{\frac{L}{4\pi d^2}}$ (1)

where $B$ is the brightness, $L$ is the star luminosity and $d$ , the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:

b) $B_{Betelgeuse} = \displaystyle{\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2}}$ and $B_{Sirius} = \displaystyle{\frac{26L_{Sun}}{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}}$ where $L_{Sun}$ is the Sun luminosity ( $3.9 x 10^{26} W$ ) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem. $ly$ is light years.

Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

$\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}{26L_{Sun}} \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} }$

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is $1.581 \cdot 10^{-5}\ ly$ . Then

$\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sun}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (1.581\cdot 10^{-5}\ ly)^2}{1\ L_{Sun}} \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} }$

Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.
