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_forward62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?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
