THE KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY STATES THAT ALL PARTICLES OF AN IDEAL GAS ARE IN CONSTANT MOTION AND EXHIBITS PERFECT ELASTIC COLLISIONS.
Explanation:
An ideal gas is an imaginary gas whose behavior perfectly fits all the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory. In reality, gases are not ideal, but are very close to being so under most everyday conditions.
The kinetic-molecular theory as it applies to gases has five basic assumptions.
- Gases consist of very large numbers of tiny spherical particles that are far apart from one another compared to their size.
- Gas particles are in constant rapid motion in random directions.
- Collisions between gas particles and between particles and the container walls are elastic collisions.
- The average kinetic energy of gas particles is dependent upon the temperature of the gas.
- There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between gas particles.
Question:
The options are;
a. Temperature
b. Thermal Energy
c. Hotness
d. Fire Energy
Answer:
The correct option is;
b. Thermal energy
Explanation:
A burner on a stove produces thermal energy which is used to raise the temperature of the metal container (kettle, pot or pans) in which items are placed for heating.
Thermal energy is the internal energy of the system given off as heat which when transferred from one body to another causes the temperature of the receiving body to rise. Thermal energy in a burner is given off when the gaseous fuel reacts or burns in the presence of or with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor in an exothermic reaction.
4C + 5H₂ + 13/2O₂ (-125 kJ) → C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O (-2877 kJ).
<h2>Work done = mgh </h2>
Explanation:
- In this case, while lifting the book we are working against the force of gravity.
Using the Newton's laws, we can find the force F required for lifting the book having mass (m) and acceleration due to gravity (g) that is ;
and, the change in the position of the book that is Δx (Height)
→ Δx = Final position - Initial position
which is only the height, then the amount of work done will be calculated by :
W= mgh
m = Mass of the Body
g = Acceleration due to Gravity
h = Height of Body being displaced
