An Oxygen Molecule,O2,falls in a Vacuum

question 5

Multiple Choice

An oxygen molecule,O2,falls in a vacuum.From what height must it fall so that its translational kinetic energy at the bottom of its fall equals the average translational kinetic energy of an oxygen molecule at 920 K? The mass of one O2 molecule is 5.312 × 10-26 kg,and the Boltzmann constant is 1.38 × 10-23 J/K.Neglect air resistance and assume that g remains constant at 9.8 m/s2 throughout the fall of the molecule.


Definitions:

Level Of Significance

The threshold for rejecting the null hypothesis in a statistical test, often denoted by alpha and representing the risk of a Type I error.

One-Tail

It refers to tests of significance that determine if there is a relationship or a difference in only one direction, either greater than or less than, but not both.

Test Statistic

A calculated value used in statistical hypothesis testing to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis.

Level Of Significance

The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis in a statistical test when it is actually true; a threshold for determining the statistical significance of a result.
