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)

New cards
5

When Is the kinetic theory of gas no longer usable

  • Molecules are compressed

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

New cards
6

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

7

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.

Temperature

Measuring how hot or cold something is

Average kinetic energy

New cards
39

Absolute zero

All molecules stop moving

New cards
40

Relation ship between larger objects and energy

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

New cards
41

Heat transfers

  • From hot to cold

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

New cards
42
