Explanation:

<h2>When we decrease the temperature, less heat energy is supplied to the atoms, and so their average kinetic energy decreases. When they enter a phase transition, such as freezing from a liquid to a solid, the temperature is not decreasing or increasing, and stays constant</h2>

Answer:

when the kinetic energy of a particle decreases, according to me that body must have been freeze, like water particles or intermolecular force which losses when heated (gains more kinetic energy) and when freeze losses kinetic energy.

In a thunderstorm, electric charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. Thus, the charge can be considere

jolli1 [7]

1) 333.6 C

In order to have breakdown, the electric field at the surface of the cloud must be equal to the breakdown electric field:

$E=3.00\cdot 10^6 N/C$

The electric field strength at the surface of a charged sphere is given by

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{Q}{R^2}$

where

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} C^2/(N^2 m^2)$ is the vacuum permittivity

Q is the charge on the sphere

R is the radius of the sphere

Here we have a cloud of radius

$R = 1.00 km = 1000 m$

So we can re-arrange the previous equation in order to find the charge on the cloud:

$Q=4\pi \epsilon_0 ER^2=4\pi (8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(3.00\cdot 10^6)(1000)^2=333.6 C$

2) $2.08\cdot 10^{21}$ excess electrons

The total charge of the cloud must be (in magnitude)

Q = 333.3 C

We know that one electron carries a charge of

$e = 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$

The total charge is just given by the charge of each electron multiplied by the number of excess electrons in the cloud:

$Q=Ne$

where

N is the number of excess electrons

Solving for N, we find:

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{333.3 C}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C}=2.08\cdot 10^{21}$

A snowstorm was predicted in Chicago. Identify the possible upper air temperature, surface temperature, and air pressure of Chic

OverLord2011 [107]

The correct answer for this question is this one:

<span>A snowstorm was predicted in Chicago. The possible upper air temperature, surface temperature, and air pressure of Chicago on that day. Normal atmospheric pressure is 29.9 inches of mercury. </span><em>I'm pretty sure the answer is 40 for upper air, 29 for surface temp, and 30 for air pressure. </em>Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.
