The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
Answer:
90,000 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy can be found using the following formula.
where <em>m </em>is the mass in kilograms and <em>v</em> is the velocity in m/s.
We know the object has a mass of 50 kilograms. We also know it is a traveling at a rate of 60 m/s. Velocity is the speed of something, so the velocity of the object is 60 m/s.
<em>m</em>=50
<em>v</em>=60
Substitute these values into the formula.
First, evaluate the exponent: 60^2. 60^2 is the same as multiplying 60, 2 times.
60^2=60*60=3,600
Multiply 50 and 3,600
Multiply 1/2 and 3,600, or divide 3,600 by 2.
Add appropriate units. Kinetic energy uses Joules, or J.
The kinetic energy of the object is 90,000 Joules
According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:
H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.
So the law of conservation of heat tells that:
Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X
Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.
