- Kinetic Energy and Temperature: We will construct the algebraic relationship between kinetic energy and temperature for a gas from the ideal gas law, PV=NkT where P = pressure, V = volume, N = number of particles, k is Boltzmann’s constant, and T is temperature. Recalling that pressure can be expressed as P=F/A,where F = force and A = area, rewrite the ideal gas law in terms of Newton’s Second Law of motion in order to relate kinetic energy to temperature using dimensional analysis. (HINT: keep in mind the definitions of the kinematic variables and . Assume there is temperature associated with the kinetic energy in each direction [x,y,z] of motionarrow_forwardANSWER THE FOLLOWING, MAKE SURE IT IS READABLE AND MAKE SURE YOUR FINAL ANSWER IS IN 4 DECIMAL PLACES.arrow_forwardGravitational Potential Energy. Directions: Answer the following problem involving gravitational potential energy. Refer to information given in the box below. The gravitational potential energy of a pair of masses, m, and mz, that are a distance r apart is U, =Cm, m, 2. What is the gravitational potential energy of the moon with respect to the earth? The mass of the moon is 7.35 x 1022 kilograms and the mass of the earth is 5.98 x 1024 kilograms. The earth moon distance is 384, 400 kilometers. Show your solution and answer. Remember that the earth-moon distance is still in kilometers.arrow_forward
