Difference between relaxation time and collision time?

2 answers:

6 0

For the answer to the question above, let us first start with relaxation time. it is the absence of an external electric field, the free electrons in a metallic substance will move in random directions so that the resultant velocity of free electrons in any direction is equal to zero. While the Collision time it is the mean time required for the direction of motion of an individual type particle to deviate through approximately as a consequence of collisions with particles of type.

Answer:

Explanation:

Collision time is the average time that is required for a moving individual particle to change direction as a result of collision with particles of type.

Relaxation time is the time required for the amplitude of an oscillating variable to drop from an initial value to 0.368 of that value. The average resultant velocity drops exponentially to zero in the absence of an electric field.

A piece of styrofoam has a charge of 0.002 mC and is placed 0.5 m from a grain of salt with a charge of 0.03 nC. How much electr

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

2.16×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = kqq'/r² (coulomb's Law)....................... Equation 1

Where F = electrostatic force, k = coulomb's constant, q = charge on the styrofoam, q' = charge on the grain of salt, r = distance between the charges.

From the question,

Given: q = 0.002 mC = 2.0×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 0.03 nC = 3.0×10⁻¹¹ C, r = 0.5 m

Constant: k = 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (2.0×10⁻⁶)(3.0×10⁻¹¹)(8.99×10⁹)/0.5²

F = 2.16×10⁻⁶ N

A 3 mm inside diameter tube is placed in a fluid with a surface tension of 600 mN/m and density of 3.7 g/cm3. The contact angle

Aleks04 [339]

Answer: The height of the fluid rise is 0.01m

Explanation:

Using the equation

h = (2TcosѲ )/rpg

h= height of the fluid rise

diameter of the tube =3mm

radius of the tube= 3/2 =1.5mm=0.0015

T= surface tension = 600mN/m=0.6N/m

Ѳ = contact angle = $60^o$ C

p= density =3.7g/cm3= 3700kg/m3

g= acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s2

h = ( 2*0.6*0.5)/(0.0015*3700*9.8)

h = 0.6/54.39

h= 0.01m

Therefore,the height of the fluid rise is 0.01m

A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat make

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

6.136 mm

Explanation:

given,

frequency emitted by the bat = 5.59 x 10⁴ Hz

speed of sound = 343 m/s

smallest insect bat can hear will be equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat make.

$\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda = \dfrac{343}{5.59\times 10^4}$

$\lambda = 6.136\times 10^{-3}}$

λ = 6.136 mm

so, the smallest size of insect that bat can hear is equal to 6.136 mm

Explain how all the organelles in a cell model work together to provide nutrition and energy for the cell.

slega [8]

These organelles are like the organs in a human and they help the cell stay alive. Each organelle has it's own specific function to help the cell survive. The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell directs the cell's activities and stores DNA. Eukaryotes also have a golgi apparatus that packages and distributes proteins.
