If you want to double the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, by what factor must you increase its momentum? a) 16b) 2^(1/2)
c) 2d) 2*2^(1/2)e) 4

The linear momentum is given by the following equation:

  (1)

Where is the mass and the velocity.

On the other hand, the kinetic energy is given by:

  (2)

Which is the same as:

Now, if we double the kinetic energy, equation (2) changes to:

  (3)

So, if we want to obtain the kinetic energy as shown in (3), the only option that works is increasing momentum by a factor of or :

Applying this in (2):

>>>As we can see, this equation is the same as equation (3)

Therefore, the correct answer is B

the temperature and the pressure affect solubility. temperature affects by changing the properties of the solvent. the increase in pressure increases solubility, the decrease in pressure decreases solubility.

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
