Answer:
C. molecules speed up as more thermal energy is added
Explanation:
The molecules will simply speed up as more thermal energy is added to the solid.
Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is set in motion.
- Heat causes kinetic energy build up in a body.
- As the molecules of the solid gains heat, they will continue to increase in thermal energy.
- They are forced to start vibrating about their fixed point.
- Thereafter, when they have enough energy, they break free from the forces holding them.
- Therefore, they move from a state of rest to one with a very high kinetic energy where the molecules moves rapidly.
- This is why a solid will change to liquid and sometimes eventually gas
Answer:
Work: 4.0 kJ, heat: 4.25 kJ
Explanation:
For a gas transformation at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by
where in this case we have:
is the pressure
is the initial volume
is the final volume
Substituting,
The 1st law of thermodynamics also states that
where
is the change in internal energy of the gas
Q is the heat absorbed by the gas
Here we know that
Therefore we can re-arrange the equation to find the heat absorbed by the gas:
Answer:
1. Fleming's left hand rule
2. It must be projected towards the east
Explanation:
Fleming's left-hand rule states that; When a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field, the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and to the direction of the current flow. This rule was first put forward by John Ambrose Fleming in the later part of the nineteenth century.
Hence if the thumb, fore finger and middle finger of the lefthand are held mutually at right angles to each other; the thumb shows the direction of motion, the fore finger shows the direction of the field while the middle finger shows the direction of the current.
Hence, if the alpha particle is projected eastwards(at right angles) to the uniform magnetic field, it will be deflected southwards in the magnetic field.
