Explain in terms of the motion of the molecules of the gas why the volume of gas must increase if the pressure is to remain constant as the gas is heated.

- When gas is heated, the molecules gain kinetic energy. This causes more collisions of greater force per unit time with the wall of the container. If the pressure is constant, then fewer collisions per unit...

A spherical object of mass 150kg is orbiting the Earth. The distance between the centre of the object and the centre of the Earth is 25,000m. What is the kinetic energy of the object?

This is an example of circular motion caused by a centripetal force. In this case, the centripetal force is the gravitational force between the Earth and the object. Linking the equations for circular motion...

Solve X^2 +13X+48=12

It is first important to get the equation to equal 0, so to do this you minus 12 from each side of the equals symbol, giving youX^2 +13X+36=0Now it is time to think about factorising!The best trick for this ...
