The correct answer to this question is D
Answer:
Temperature of the gas molecules is 7.96 x 10⁴ K
Explanation:
Given :
Ions accelerated through voltage, V = 10.3 volts
The work done to change the position of singly charged gas ions is given by the relation :
W = q x V
Here q is charge of the ions and its value is 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.
Average kinetic energy of gas molecules is given by the relation:
K.E. = 
Here T is temperature and k is Boltzmann constant and its value is 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K.
According to the problem, the average kinetic energy of gas is equal to the work done to move the singly charged ions, i.e. ,
K.E. = W
Rearrange the above equation in terms of T :
Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.
T = 7.96 x 10⁴ K
Answer:
In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.
Answer:
When two waves meet in such a way that their crests line up together, then it's called constructive interference. The resulting wave has a higher amplitude. In destructive interference, the crest of one wave meets the trough of another, and the result is a lower total amplitude.
The kinetic energy of any moving object is
K.E. = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .
To use this simple formula, the 'mass' has to be in kilograms,
and the 'speed' has to be in meters-per-second.
You can see that we have a slight problem that has to be cleaned up:
The speed in the question is given in "kilometers per hour", but we'll
need it in "meters per second". So let's convert that right now:
(600 km/hour) x (1 hour / 3600 seconds) x (1000 meters / km)
= (600 x 1 x 1000 / 3600) (km-hour-meters / hour-second-km)
= 166.67 meters/second .
Now we're ready to plug numbers into the formula for K.E.
(1/2) (mass) (speed)²
= (1/2) (80,000 kg) (166.67 m/s)²
= (40,000 kg) (27,777.8 m²/s²)
= 1,111,111,111 kg-m²/s²
= 1.1... x 10⁹ Joules (choice D)
