    Undergrad KE of Gas Molecules: n, KbT, U, and 3/2R

    K=R/(Avagadro's Num), so 3/2*R/(Avagadro's Num)*T=3/2nRT getting rid of the same constants I get 1/(Avagadro's Num)=n

    Undergrad KE of Gas Molecules: n, KbT, U, and 3/2R

    I know that KE=3/2KbT, but doesn't the KE of gas molecules also equal U=3/2nRT? When do I use which? And also for the second equation if it is for a monoatomic gas, n=1, why isn't the n deleted?

    Do I Need a Battery for a Positive Redox Reaction?

    For a reaction where the electric potential is positive, does there need to be something to provide voltage for the reaction to occur? Let's say E= 1.34V for the reaction. Do I need to connect the electrode terminals to a battery to provide 1.34V?

    Find their velocities after the collision

    Since it's an ellastic collision, momentum is conserved. a) can be found with conservation of momentum.

    Undergrad Why Do Protons Not Absorb Light Rays?

    Protons can absorb photons too but it's easier for an electron to absorb it because it can move around

    Calculate Initial Velocity of Object Thrown Vertically

    I think using Vf^2=Vi^2 + 2ad would be better..Since the highest point is 30 that means at that point v equals 0.

    Charging Time for RC Circuit with Capacitor and Resistor

    Homework Statement A 1234. pF capacitor and a 5.6 × 106 ohm resistor are connected in series to 78. volts EMF. Approximately how long does it take the capacitor to become almost fully charged? Homework Equations Vf=Vo(1-e^(-t/RC)) The Attempt at a Solution I'm not sure if the...
