7. In the collision between gas molecules, the total energy of the gas
A. decreases
C. remains the same
B. increases
D. is lost
The total energy of two colliding gas molecules is conserved because the
Group of answer choices
collision is inelastic.
collision is elastic.
collision intensity varies as temperature changes.
collision occurs too rapidly for energy to be lost.
Humans and other mammals breathe in oxygen from the air for respiration.
At the top of Mt Everest, there is decreased atmospheric pressure and decreased
temperature. How will the decreased pressure and temperature affect the air that
a mountain climber is breathing?
A) Decreased pressure decreases the amount
of air molecules per breath whereas the
decreased temperature increases the speed of
the air molecules per breath, so this has no
impact on mountain climbers.
B) Decreased temperature and high altitude
result in decreased air pressure. This results in
a decreased number of air molecules per
breath, which means mountain climbers often
must carry oxygen tanks.
C) Decreased pressure increases the number
of air molecules per breath and the decreased
temperature also increases the number of air
molecules per breath, which means mountain
climbers often must carry oxygen tanks.
