A 20-liter container contains 2.0 moles of oxygen at a pressure of 92 kpa. the average kinetic energy of translation of oxygen m
Vikentia [17]

From ideal gas law, PV=nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume of the container, n is number of moles, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

Hence, T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{92*10^{3}*2.0*10^{-3}}{2*3.314}

T= 110.65 k

Kinetic Energy = \frac{3}{2}KT=\frac{3}{2}  (1.38*10^{-23})(110.65)

K.E=  2.2*10^{-21}J

<h3>What is a kinetic energy? </h3>

The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy.

A force must be applied to an object in order to accelerate it. We must put in effort in order to apply a force. After the work is finished, energy is transferred to the item, which then moves at a new, constant speed. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that is transferred and is dependent on the mass and speed attained.

Kinetic energy can be converted into other types of energy and transported between objects. A flying squirrel may run into a chipmunk that is standing still, for instance. Some of the squirrel's initial kinetic energy may have been transferred to the chipmunk or changed into another kind of energy after the collision.

Suppose that the Hubble Space Telescope discovers a series of planets with the following characteristics moving around a star th
nalin [4]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Terrestrial planets refers to those four planets that are nearest to the sun and that lies within the asteroid belt. These planets are mainly composed of rocks or other metal objects that have a hard and resistant surface on it. They have a metal core that is molten (liquid) in nature, and atmosphere is relatively less dense, and also various geological features are present on it like the crater, volcanoes which can be observed with the help of satellites. The average densities of these planets is about four times the density of water. For example, the density of water is 1 g/cm³, whereas the density of earth is 5.5 g/cm³.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.
labwork [276]

Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.

Therefore we can write:

W=K_f -K_i

where in this case:

W = -36,733 J is the work done by the parachute (negative because it is opposite to the motion)

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy of the car

K_f is the final kinetic energy

Solving,

K_f = K_i + W=66,120+(-36,733)=29387 J

The final kinetic energy of the car can be written as

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 661 kg is its mass

v is its final speed

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s

¿A qué velocidad debe circular un auto de carreras para recorrer 87 km en 20 min? (pasar a metros por segundo m/s)
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Velocidad en m / s = 72,25 m / s

Explanation:

Dado

Distancia a recorrer por el coche de carreras = 87 Km

1 km = 1000 m

Por lo tanto, 87 km = 87000 m

Tiempo necesario para viajar 87 km / 87000 metros = 20 minutos o 20 * 60 = 1200 segundos

Velocidad en m / s = 87000/1200

Velocidad en m / s = 72,25 m / s

What does Kepler's first law of planetary motion imply?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D.  The distance between the planet and the Sun changes as the planet orbits the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, are the laws of physics that describe the motions of the planets in the solar system.

According to the Kepler's first law of planetary motion: the path on which the planets orbit around the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun at one focus.

Therefore, the distance between the Sun and the planets vary as the planet orbit around the sun.
