Interpretation:
The velocity of the given object should be calculated in the given statement by using the equation of kinetic energy
Concept Introduction:
Energy is the ability to do work or transfer heat where work is the movement of a body using some force. The SI unit of energy is joule (
Where,
Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and/or molecules. The atoms and/or molecules of a hotter object have greater kinetic energy than those of a colder one, in the form of vibrational, rotational, or, in the case of a gas, translational motion. For example, a hot brick has a greater kinetic energy than a cold brick.
To calculate: The velocity (in

- Nitrous oxide, N2O, has been used as a dental anesthetic. The average speed of an N2O molecule at 25C is 379 m/s. Calculate the kinetic energy (in joules) of an N2O molecule traveling at this speed.arrow_forwardSome solar-heated homes use large beds of rocks to store heat. (a) How much heat is absorbed by 100.0 kg of rocks if their temperature increases by 12C? (Assume that c=0.82J/gC.) (b) Assume that the rock pile has total surface area 2 m2. At maximum intensity near the earth's surface, solar power is about 170 watts/m2. (1watt=1J/s.) How many minutes will it take for solar power to produce the 12C increase in part (a)?arrow_forwardHow fast (in meters per second) must an iron ball with a mass of 56.6 g be traveling in order to have a kinetic energy of 15.75 J?arrow_forward

They gave me an answer of 7036 kj/mol. arrow_forwardThese organic solvents are used to clean compact discs : (a) If a 15.00-mL sample of CD cleaner weighs 11.775 g at 208C, which solvent does the sample most likely contain? (b) The chemist analyzing the cleaner calibrates her equipment and finds that the pipet is accurate to +-0.02 mL, and the balance is accurate to +-0.003 g. Is this equipment precise enough to distinguish between ethanol and isopropanol?arrow_forward
