Answer:

The surface tension of the water is 6.278×10⁻² N/m

error = 13.65%

Explanation:

The surface tension of water is given by

$ \gamma = \frac{F}{L} $

Where F is the force acting on water and L is the length over which is force is acted.

We are given the mass of 100 droplets of water

M = 3.78 g

n = 100

The mass of 1 droplet is given by

m = \frac{M}{n} \\\\m = \frac{3.78}{100}\\\\m =  0.0378 \: g \\\\m = 3.780\times10^{-5} \: kg

The force acting on a single droplet of water is given by

F = m \cdot g

Where m is the mass of water droplet and g is the acceleration due to gravity

F = 3.780\times10^{-5} \cdot 9.81

F = 3.708\times10^{-4} \: N

The circumferential length of the droplet is given by

L = \pi \cdot d

Where d is the diameter

L = \pi \cdot 1.88\times10^{-3}\\\\L = 5.906 \times10^{-3} \: m

Now we can find out the required surface tension of the water

\gamma = \frac{3.708\times10^{-4} }{5.906 \times10^{-3}} \\\\\gamma = 0.06278\: N/m\\\\\gamma = 6.278 \times10^{-2} \: N/m\\\\

Therefore, the surface tension of the water is 6.278×10⁻² N/m

The tabulated value of the surface tension of water at 20 °C is given by

$ \gamma_t = 0.0727 \: N/m $

The percentage error between tabulated and calculated surface tension is given by

$ error = \frac{\gamma_t - \gamma }{\gamma_t} $

$ error = \frac{ 0.0727 - 0.06278}{0.0727} \times 100\% $

$ error = 13.65 \%

A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards
Trava [24]

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards  

Explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

Y = 1.6 X - 0.032x^2

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

x = -\frac{b}{2a}

y =- \frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)} = 25

and maximum height is

y = 1.6\times 25 - 0.032\times 25^2

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

<h2>So, the correct answers are:</h2>

Travels in longitudinal waves

Travels most slowly through a gas

Speeds up when temperature is increased

Is caused by vibration

Explanation for correct answers:

Yes, it does travel in longitudinal waves

Yes, sounds weird, but travels faster in the water

Yes, does speed up when temperature is increased

And yes, Is caused by vibration.

<h2>Wrong answer is:</h2>

Can travel through a vacuum

Explanation for wrong answer:

actually, in space, there is NO sound, because there are no particals for the sound to vibrate with, there's just empty SPACE.
