Kinetic molecular theory of gas

  • Large number of identical molecules

  • Volume of gas is negligible

  • No forces between molecules

  • Motion is random

  • All collisions are elastic (Energy is conserved)

5
New cards

When Is the kinetic theory of gas no longer usable

  • Molecules are compressed

  • Close to a phase change(All internal energy is potential)

6
New cards

What is the Oppenheimer Volkoff limit

when the mass of a star is greater than three times the mass of the sun, it will become a black hole

When the mass of the star is less than three times the mass of the sun, it will turn into a neutron star

New cards

Why are scaphoid variables not stable

Because fusion increases as they burn the remaining parts of an element then temperature increases surface area decreases due to gravity, pulling it in and then surface area increases and temperature decreases so we pulsating brightness

Hubbles law

The red shift due to the growth of the universe. The growth of the universe stretches space and time increasing the distance between objects this then stretches the wave length, leading to an observed red shift.

New cards

Temperature

Measuring how hot or cold something is

Average kinetic energy

39
New cards

Absolute zero

All molecules stop moving

40
New cards

Relation ship between larger objects and energy

Bigger objects have higher internal energy because it has more mass - more mass= more total energy

41
New cards

Heat transfers

  • From hot to cold

  • Because fast moving particle collide with slow moving particles and increase their velocity, kinetic energy and temperature

42
New cards

Specific heat

Amount of energy required to heat one kilogram by one degree kelvin

43
New cards
