Give two reasons why circular water waves decrease in amplitude

1 answer:

3 0

1. friction between water molecules
2. the wave spreads out onto a larger and larger area, so per unit area, the energy of the wave goes down

What type of relationship exists between the length of a wire and the resistance, if all other factors remain the same? A. Resis

ZanzabumX [31]

<h3>Answer</h3>

(A) Resistance is directly related to length.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Formula for resistance

R = p(length) / A

where R = resistance

p = resistivity(material of wire)

A = cross sectional area

So it can be seen that resistance depends upon 3 factors that are length of wire , resistivity of wire and the cross sectional area of the wire.

If two of the factors, resistivity and cross sectional area, are kept constant then the resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire.

<h3> R ∝ length</h3>

This means that the resistance of the wire increases with the increase in length of the wire and decreases with the decrease of length of the wire.

Glycerin (C3H8O3) is a nonvolatile liquid. What is the vapor pressure of a solution made by adding 154 g of glycerin to 316 mL o

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg$

Explanation:

According to given:

molecular mass of glycerin, $M_g=3\times 12+8+3\times 16=92\ g.mol^{-1}$

molecular mass of water, $M_w=2+16=18\ g.mol^{-1}$

∵Density of water is $0.992\ g.cm^{-3}= 0.992\ g.mL^{-1}$

∴mass of water in 316 mL, $m_w=316\times 0.992=313.5 g$

mass of glycerin, $m_g=154\ g$

pressure of mixture, $P_x=55.32\ torr= 55.32\ mm.Hg$

temperature of mixture, $T_x=40^{\circ}C$

<em>Upon the formation of solution the vapour pressure will be reduced since we have one component of solution as non-volatile.</em>

<u>moles of water in the given quantity:</u>

$n_w=\frac{m_w}{M_w}$

$n_w=\frac{313.5}{18}$

$n_w=17.42 moles$

<u>moles of glycerin in the given quantity:</u>

$n_g=\frac{m_g}{M_g}$

$n_g=\frac{154}{92}$

$n_g=1.674 moles$

<u>Now the mole fraction of water:</u>

$X_w=\frac{n_w}{n_w+n_g}$

$X_w=\frac{17.42}{17.42+1.674}$

$X_w=0.912$

<em>Since glycerin is non-volatile in nature so the vapor pressure of the resulting solution will be due to water only.</em>

$\therefore P_{sol}=X_w\times P_x$

$\therefore P_{sol}=0.912\times 55.32$

$P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg$
