Answer:
the average kinetic energy of the 10 molecules is 10 J.
Explanation:
Given;
energy on one molecule in motion, E = 100 J
number of molecules, n = 10
(A) The average kinetic energy of the 10 molecules
since the remaining 9 molecules are at rest, their kinetic energy = 0
[tex]E_{Avg} = \frac{E_1 + E_9}{10} \\\\E_{Avg} = \frac{100J+ 0}{10} \\\\E_{Avg} = \frac{100J}{10} \\\\E_{Avg} = 10J[/tex]
Therefore, the average kinetic energy of the 10 molecules is 10 J.
