A.
a decrease in both air temperature and atmospheric pressure
B.
a decrease in air temperature and an increase in atmospheric pressure

an increase in both air temperature and atmospheric pressure
D.
an increase in air temperature and a decrease in atmospheric pressure

In the derivation of rrkm theory, a factor of 1/2 is introduced when equalizing the rates of formation and decomposition of activated complex as keal-hr) = ko this is clearly against the assumption of transition state theory that states all the activated complex in the transition state iss going to the product. find the reason why this factor is introduced here.

The dominant wavelength of energy emitted by the sun is

Atruck going 15 kmôź°€h has a head-on collision with a small car going 30 kmôź°€h. which statement best describes the situation? (a) the truck has the greater change of momentum because it has the greater mass. (b) the car has the greater change of momentum because it has the greater speed. (c) neither the car nor the truck changes its momentum in the collision because momentum is conserved. (d) they both have the same change in magnitude of momentum because momentum is conserved. (e) none of the above is necessarily true. 2. a small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. a heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. the speed of the boat (a) increases. (b) decreases. (c) does not change. (d) without knowing the mass of the boat and the sand, we can’t tell.
