If gas molecules are moving so fast (around 500 m/s), why do most smells travel at a speed significantly less than that? (If I open a container of smelly stuff at the front of the classroom it takes a few seconds to smell it. Why?) Draw a picture in the box on the right to help you describe this.

Agas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series: process 12: compression with pv= constant from 1 bar and 1 liter to 4 bar. process 23: constant pressure expansion to 1 liter. process 31: constant volume calculate the pressure and volume at each state, and sketch the processes on a p-vdiagram labeled with pressure and volume values at each numbered stat

A2000 kg car is rounding a curve of radius 200 m on a level road. the maximum frictional force the road can exert on the tires of the car is 4000 n. what is the highest speed at which the car can round the curve?

You are driving directly behind a pickup truck, going at the same speed as the truck. a crate falls from the bed of the truck to the road. (a) will your car hit the crate before the crate hits the road if you neither brake nor swerve? (b) during the fall, is the horizontal speed of the crate more than, less than, or the same as that of the truck?
