Sentences with phrase «air molecules bouncing»

Jim, a very simple way to show you're right is to consider the case of a single air molecule bouncing perfectly elastically up and down on the surface, with enough energy to bounce say 20 km high.

Not exact matches

This causes the air inside the glass to contract (its molecules do not bounce around as much).

They have not only excised the water cycle, and excised rain from the carbon cycle, but have excised the whole atmosphere which is the heavy voluminous fluid ocean of real gas Air weighting a ton on our shoulders and in its place have empty space with imaginary ideal gas molecules travelling under their own molecular momentum at great speeds through this empty space miles apart from each other bouncing off each other in elastic collisions, no attraction, and so «thoroughly mixing».

Perhaps you should take a break from this and go and sit outside in the fresh air and relax in the big powerful waves of invisible longwave infrared heat direct from the Sun warming you up inside and look at the benign, restful visible light from the Sun making the sky blue as it is bounced around all over the place by the molecules of air in the atmosphere.

It is difficult to convey how unlikely it really is, but Dewitt's example of all of the air in the room bouncing just right and ending up as a drop of liquid air over in a corner leaving you gasping in a vacuum that happens to maintain itself because air molecules just don't seem to have the right directions to bounce back into the room — that sort of unlikely.

It might help you if you had a few concepds in mind too when considering this subject, like «space» is the big energy «sink» with old sol (and the internal heat generating processes (including nuclear) of the earth) as sources... any mechanism that results in a delay of energy leaving earth, such as a «bounce - back» or a re-rad of energy (like back radiation) certainly is going to increase the «energy flux» in the system, and this in any way you want to frame the argument translates to a «higher» energy state, and a higher so - called temperature» (movement in matter, velocity of air molecules or oscillations in certain «resonant molecules) as well.
