The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.
Given:
The nitrogen gas molecule with a temperature of 330 Kelvins is released from Earth's surface to travel upward.
To find:
The maximum height of a nitrogen molecule when released from the Earth's surface before coming to rest.
Solution:
- The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
- The temperature of nitrogen gas particle = T = 330 K
The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is given by:

The nitrogen molecule at its maximum height will have zero kinetic energy as all the kinetic energy will get converted into potential energy
- The potential energy at height h =

- Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0134 g/mol
- Mass of nitrogen gas molecule = m

- The acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2
- The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
- The potential energy is given by:


The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

Using the length given '12 m', because the shape of the object is a square all sides are congruent.
Basically 12+12+12+12=48 or 12 x 4= 48
The answer is 48 m
<u>Answer</u>:
A solid will melt at the temperature at which the kinetic energy breaks the
inter-molecular attractions.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The melting point is the state at which "a substance changes its temperature from a solid to liquid". At the melting point temperature, there is an equilibrium between the both the solid and the liquid phase. When the solid particle is heated by increasing the temperature the particle in the solid vibrate quickly and it absorbs kinetic energy.
It leads to the breaking of the organisation of particle in between the solid and that leads to the melting of solid. Thus, at the melting point, the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.
