Chapter 10, Problem 139AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for rising of hot air on the basis of kinetic theory is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Kinetic energy is the energy generated from motion.

The average kinetic energy of a system is directly proportional to the absolute value of the temperature.

Kinetic energy is calculated as

$E_{\text{k}}=\frac{1}{2}m{u}^2$

Here, m is the mass, u is the velocity of the object, and $E_{\text{k}}$ is the kinetic energy.
