Why does sugar dissolves easily in water but sand doesn’t

1 answer:

7 0

Table sugar dissolves in water because when a sucrose molecule breaks from the sugar crystal, it is immediately surrounded by water molecules. The sucrose has hydroxyl groups that have a slight negative charge. ... Sand can't dissolve in waterbecause the 'spaces' in between the water particles. :)

A guitarist finds that the pitch of one of her strings is slightly flat—the frequency is a bit too low. Should she increase or d

Yuri [45]

Answer:

The guitarist should increase the tension of the string.

Explanation:

The frequency of a vibrating string is determined by fn=(n/(2L))√T/μ. So if the tension in the string increased, the rate at which it vibrates (the frequency) will also increase.

Therefore it is advisable that she increase the tension of the string.

A speaker vibrates at a frequency of 200 Hz. What is its period

Daniel [21]

Period, T = 1/ f.
f = frequency = 200 Hz.

Period T = 1/200 = 0.005 seconds.

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance Da and during a time t, and object B f

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Da=(1/4)Db

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

When s = Da, t = t

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

When s = Db, t = 2t

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (2t)^2\\\Rightarrow Db=\frac{1}{2}a4t^2$

Dividing the two equations

$\frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at^2}{\frac{1}{2}a4t^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{4}Db$

Hence, Da=(1/4)Db

What is special about nitrogen, and what is its main function in the atmosphere

Solnce55 [7]

Nitrogen is essential to life. It is a component of all proteins and can be found in all living organisms. Nitrogen in the atmosphere. The molecules of nitrogen in the atmosphere can become usable for living things when they are broken apart during lightning strikes or fires, by certain types of bacteria, or by bacteria associated with bean plants.

Estimated speed of the vehicle

SSSSS [86.1K]

Really, Gundy ? ! ?

The formula for the car's speed is given and discussed in the box. The formula is

v = √(2·g·μ·d)

Then they tell you that μ is 0.750 , and then they tell you that d = 52.9 m . Also, everybody knows that 'g' is gravity = 9.8 m/s² .

They also tell us that the mass of the car is 1,000 kg, and they tell us that it took 3.8 seconds to skid to a stop. But we already have all the numbers in the formula without knowing the car's mass or how long it took to stop. The police don't need to weigh the car, and nobody was there to measure how long the car took to stop. All they need is the length of the skid mark, which they can measure, and they'll know how fast the guy was going when he hit the brakes !

Now, can you take the numbers and plug them into the formula ? ! ?

v = √(2·g·μ·d)

v = √( 2 · 9.8 m/s² · 0.75 · 52.9 m)

v = √( 777.63 m²/s²)

v = 27.886 m/s

Rounded to 3 digits, that's 27.9 m/s .

That's about 62.4 mile/hour .
