Particles in a gas are in constant motion due to their kinetic energy, but they don't bump into each other because they are very tiny and have a lot of empty space between them. The gas particles move randomly and at high speeds, so collisions are infrequent and result in elastic collisions due to the repulsive forces between them.

What is a natural force of attraction exerted by one object on another object?

Gravitational force is a natural force of attraction exerted by one object on another object. It is responsible for the force that keeps planets in orbit around the sun and objects on Earth from floating out into space.


What elements cause and prevent floating?

Floating in the context of web design can be caused by elements not having a specified height, floating elements overlapping each other, or lack of proper clearing. To prevent floating, you can clear the floats using CSS (clear:both), use clearfix techniques, or utilize flexbox or grid layouts which handle element positioning more effectively.


What is it called to the closed path of one object in space around another object or to move in a such path?

That is called orbital motion. it is the closed path that one object in space follows around another object, typically due to the force of gravity.


What is a path that one object such as a planet takes as it moves around another object?

The path that one object such as a planet takes as it moves around another object is called an orbit. Orbits can be elliptical, circular, or other shapes, depending on the gravitational forces between the two objects.


What happens to particles during the process of convection?

During convection, particles in a fluid gain kinetic energy, become less dense, and rise. As they rise, they transfer heat through the fluid by bumping into other particles. Once they cool down or lose energy, they become denser and sink back down, creating a continuous circular motion that transfers heat.

How can you tell if a Pokemon has full happiness?

Go to the Pokemon cente in eterna and talk to the lady with brown hair and she will give you the happiness app (the one with all your Pokemon floating around and bumping into each other). Hold your stylus on apokemon of your choice and if 2 big hearts come out of it, its happiness is near if not full.


What causes diffusion in the cell?

Diffusion is caused when molecules are moving around and bumping each other in the cell. Collisions cause the molecules to them push apart from one another. Eventually the molecules continue to do this and they spread throughout the area.

A freely floating Astronaut pushes another freely floating astronaut in an artificial satellite What is the force applied by the 1st astronaut on the 2nd one?

The force applied would be zero as a freely floating astronaut feels weightlessness as the gravitational force acting on him is zero.
