An unlit match is held near (not touching) a Bunsen flame. The match doesn't get hot enough to light because

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is option D)
this is because the heat radiated by the flame is mostly absorbed by the air surrounding it, so the air becomes hot and its density decreases (because of expansion), therefore it goes up and it is replaced by cooler air. since all of the hot air flies up, non goes side ways to heat up the match stick, hence it remains cool and does not light up.

option A) also sounds correct, but it isn't. this is because the flame IS hot enough to burn the match stick, it's just that the match stick is positioned the wrong way

Consider a plywood square mounted on an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the square and passes through the center of t

belka [17]

Answer:

T= 8.061N*m

Explanation:

The first thing to do is assume that the force is tangential to the square, so the torque is calculated as:

T = Fr

where F is the force, r the radius.

if we need the maximum torque we need the maximum radius, it means tha the radius is going to be the edge of the square.

Then, r is the distance between the edge and the center, so using the pythagorean theorem, r i equal to:

r = $\sqrt{(0.38m)^2+(0.38m)^2}$

r = 0.5374m

Finally, replacing the value of r and F, we get that the maximun torque is:

T = 15N(0.5374m)

T= 8.061N*m

A clarinet sounds as a closed pipe. if a clarinet sounds a note with a pitch of 375 hz, what are the frequencies of the lowest t

mote1985 [20]

So mathematical harmonics are based around a divergent set of fractions. Sigma(1/n)
with the 1st harmonic being... well 1, or 1 full wavelength.The second harmonic is exactly 1/2 the wavelength of the 1st with the third being 1/3 the wavelength. As Wavelengths go down, frequencies go up in a perfect ratio.

Second Harmonic has double the Frequency of the 1st or base note. Third Harmonic is triple and so on.

So the Harmonic set of 375 is.
1. 375
2. 375×2=750
3. 375×3= 1125

etc (: I hope this helps.

State the Newton 2nd law of motion and also prove that F= ma

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

F = ma is the formula of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Newton's Second Law of Motion is defined as Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance

maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = $X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL$

where

R = resistance

$X_{L} = Inductive Reactance$

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

$C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}$

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ $\frac{1}{x}$

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

$Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}$

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

$\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}$

$\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}$

${R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})$

${R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})$

Solving the above eqn:

$X_{C} = 4R$

What is the function of the Cytoplasm?

ANEK [815]

It is made up of mostly water and salt. Cytoplasm is present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts.

The cytoplasm is like a bathtub water because it holds a kind of jelly fluid just like a bathtub

eukaryote is an organism with complex cells, or a single cell with a complex structure.
