What is a Gold-leaf electroscope used for

Physics
1 answer:
iren2701 [21]4 years ago
6 0
This gold-leaf electroscope was used for detecting and measuring static electricity or voltage.

Developed on 1787 by British clergyman and physicist Abraham Bennet, it consists of a vertical metal rod, usually brass, from the end of which hang two parallel strips of thin flexible gold leaf, as the name suggests it. A disk or ball terminal is attached to the top of the rod, where the charge to be tested is applied. To protect the gold leaves from drafts of air they are enclosed in a glass bottle, usually open at the bottom and mounted over a conductive base. Often there are grounded metal plates or foil strips in the bottle flanking the gold leaves on either side.

A process with a negative change in enthalpy and a negative change in entropy will generally be:________
valentina_108 [34]

A process with a negative change in enthalpy and a negative change in entropy will generally be: <u>spontaneous</u>.

<h3>Gibbs free energy:</h3>

Since the Gibbs free energy is a parameter that tells us whether a chemical reaction is spontaneous (Gibbs free energy less than 0) or nonspontaneous (Gibbs free energy greater than 0) in this situation, we can describe it mathematically as:

                                      ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Therefore, any process with a negative change in enthalpy and a positive change in entropy will be spontaneous. If the enthalpy and the entropy are both negative, the subtraction becomes always negative, for which the Gibbs free energy is also negative.

One of the most crucial thermodynamic functions for the characterization of a system is the Gibbs free energy. It influences results like the voltage of an electrochemical cell and the equilibrium constant for a reversible reaction, among others.

a liquid reactant is pumped through a horizontal, cylindrical, catalytic bed. The catalyst particles are spherical, 2mm in diame
natulia [17]

Answer:

The upper limit on the flow rate = 39.46 ft³/hr

Explanation:

Using Ergun Equation to calculate the pressure drop across packed bed;

we have:

\frac{\delta P}{L}= \frac{150 \mu_oU(1- \epsilon )^2}{d^2p \epsilon^3} + \frac{1.75 \rho U^2(1-\epsilon)}{dp \epsilon^3}

where;

L = length of the bed

\mu = viscosity

U = superficial velocity

\epsilon = void fraction

dp = equivalent spherical diameter of bed material (m)

\rho = liquid density (kg/m³)

However, since U ∝ Q and all parameters are constant ; we can write our equation to be :

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

where;

ΔP = pressure drop

Q = flow rate

Given that:

9.6 = A12 + B12²

Then

12A + 144B = 9.6       --------------   equation (1)

24A + 576B = 24.1    ---------------  equation (2)

Using elimination methos; from equation (1); we first multiply it by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2 afterwards ; So

288 B = 4.9

       B = 0.017014

From equation (1)

12A + 144B  = 9.6

12A + 144(0.017014) = 9.6

12 A = 9.6 - 144(0.017014)

A = \frac{9.6 -144(0.017014}{12}

A = 0.5958

Thus;

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

Given that ΔP = 50 psi

Then

50 = 0.5958 Q + 0.017014 Q²

Dividing by the smallest value and then rearranging to a form of quadratic equation; we have;

Q² + 35.02Q - 2938.8 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation and taking consideration of the positive value for the upper limit of the flow rate ;

Q = 39.46 ft³/hr

There is a 90 kg woman attached at the end of a bungee cord (k = 35 N/m) that is experiencing simple harmonic motion. How long d
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The value is T  =10.1 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the woman is  m  = 90 \  kg  

    The spring constant of the bungee cord is  k  =  35 \  N/  m

Generally the period of the oscillation (i,e time taken to complete on  cycle ) is mathematically represented as

            T  = 2 \pi *  \sqrt{ \frac{m}{k} }

=>      T  = 2 * 3.142  *  \sqrt{ \frac{90 }{ 35} }

=>      T  =10.1 \ s
