Which of the following processes generated heat during earths formation that is still a source of heat in earths interior

Physics
1 answer:
jek_recluse [69]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • There are three main sources of heat in the deep earth: (1) heat from when the planet formed and accreted, which has not yet been lost; (2) frictional heating, caused by denser core material sinking to the center of the planet; and (3) heat from the decay of radioactive elements

If you want to double the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, by what factor must you increase its momentum?A) 16B) 2^(1/2)
worty [1.4K]

Answer: \sqrt{2}

The linear momentum p is given by the following equation:

p=m.v   (1)

Where m is the mass and v the velocity.

On the other hand, the kinetic energy K is given by:

K=\frac{p^{2}}{2m}   (2)

Which is the same as:

K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^{2}

Now, if we double the kinetic energy, equation (2) changes to:

2K=2\frac{p^{2}}{2m}  

2K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}   (3)

So, if we want to obtain the kinetic energy as shown in (3), the only option that works is increasing momentum by a factor of \sqrt{2} or 2^{1/2}:

Applying this in (2):

K=\frac{(\sqrt{2}p)^{2}}{2m}

K=\frac{(2p)^{2}}{2m}

K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}>>>As we can see, this equation is the same as equation (3)

Therefore, the correct answer is B

Is the net force on an object moving with uniform velocity zero or not zero?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

The net force acting on an object moving with uniform velocity is zero. This is an accordance with the Newton's first law of motion.

Newton's first law of motion states that a body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion unless it is acted upon by an external force.

Since this body is moving with uniform motion, it is not accelerating. When a body is acceleration, the net force on it is not zero.

But this one is moving with uniform motion. The net force on the body is balanced and zero.
