c). random internal motion of atoms and molecules.

<u>Explanation </u>
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to region of low concentration. The rate of diffusion can be increased by increasing amount of temperature but this is not its primary cause. Diffusion is primarily caused by movement of molecules or atoms in a substances. Form the choices given, the correct answer is c. random internal motion of atoms and molecules.

A goose with a mass of 2.0 kg strikes a commercial airliner with a mass of 160,000 kg head-on. Before the collision, the goose w

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The change in momentum of the goose during this interaction is 33.334 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of goose, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of commercial airliner, m₂ = 160,000 kg

initial velocity of the bird, u₁ = 60 km/hr = 16.667 m/s

initial velocity of the airliner, u₂ = 870 km/hr = 241.667 m/s

Change in momentum is given as;

ΔP = mv - mu

where;

u is the initial velocity of the bird

v is the final velocity of the bird

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the final velocity of bird and airliner after collision;

(2 x 16.667) + (160,000 x 241.667) = v (2 + 160,000)

38,666,753.334 = 160,002v

v = 38,666,753.334 / 160,002

v = 241.664 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the bird is negligible compared to final velocity of the airliner.

ΔP = mv - mu

ΔP = m(v - u)

ΔP = 2(0 - 16.667)

ΔP = -33.334 m/s

The negative sign implies a deceleration of the bird after the impact.

Therefore, the change in momentum of the goose during this interaction is 33.334 m/s

A 0.877 mol sample of N2(g) initially at 298 K and 1.00 atm is held at constant volume while enough heat is applied to raise the

MissTica

Answer : The value of $q\text{ and }\Delta U$ is 286.2 J and 286.2 J respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of sample = 0.877 mol

Change in temperature = 15.7 K

First we have to calculate the heat absorbed by the system.

Formula used :

$q=n\times c_v\times \Delta T$

where,

q = heat absorbed by the system = ?

n = moles of sample = 0.877 mol

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 15.7 K

$c_v$ = heat capacity at constant volume of $N_2$ (diatomic molecule) = $\frac{5}{2}R$

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

$q=0.877mol\times \frac{5}{2}\times 8.314J/mol.K\times 15.7K$

$q=286.2J$

Now we have to calculate the change in internal energy of the system.

$\Delta U=q+w$

As we know that, work done is zero at constant volume. So,

$\Delta U=q=286.2J$

Therefore, the value of $q\text{ and }\Delta U$ is 286.2 J and 286.2 J respectively.

Assuming that the limits of the visible spectrum are approximately 380 and 700 nm, find the angular range of the first-order vis

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )

Explanation:

given data

wavelength λ = 380 nm = 380 × $10^{-9}$ m

wavelength λ = 700 nm = 700 × $10^{-9}$ m

to find out

angular range of the first-order

solution

we will apply here slit experiment equation that is

d sinθ = m λ ...........1

here m is 1 for single slit and d is = $\frac{1}{900*10^3 m}$

so put here value in equation 1 for 380 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

$\frac{1}{900*10^3}$ sinθ = 1 × 380 × $10^{-9}$

θ = 0.35 rad

and for 700 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

$\frac{1}{900*10^3}$ sinθ = 1 × 700 × $10^{-9}$

θ = 0.681 rad

so angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )
