This is due to the fact that there is little food (flying insects) for them to eat. If they stayed awake in a warm home, without hibernating, then they would starve. We can begin the bat exclusion process during the winter months.
Mean free path of molecules in a gas. The molecules in a gas are assumed to be in continuous random motion making collisions with each other and with the walls of the container. The mean distance that the molecules travel between one collision and the next is called the mean free path of the molecules.
Gas molecules are in constant, rapid, random motion. b. As a gas is heated, its rate of effusion through a small hole increases if all other factors remain. constant. As a gas is heated, each moleculeâs speed increases; therefore, the molecules pass. through the small hole more frequently.
