 <span>haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now. 
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed] 
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!</span>

S Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire from a mass m of a metal with density rhom and resistivity rho. If the wire is to
denpristay [2]

The diameter of the wire is 2.8 * 10^-3 m.

<h3>What is the length?</h3>

Mass of the wire = 1.0 g or 1 * 10^-3 Kg

Resistance = 0.5 ohm

Resistivity of copper = 1.7 * 10^-8 ohm meter

Density of copper = 8.92 * 10^3 Kg/m^3

V = m/d

But v = Al

Al = m/d

A = m/ld

Resistance = ρl/A

= ρl/m/ld =

l^2 = Rm/ρd

l = √ Rm/ρd

l = √0.5 * 1 * 10^-3 / 1.7 * 10^-8 * 8.92 * 10^3

l = 1.82 m

A = πr^2

Also;

A = m/ld

A = 1 * 10^-3 Kg / 1.82 m * 8.92 * 10^3 Kg/m^3

A = 6.2 * 10^-5 m^2

r^2 = A/ π

r = √A/ π

r = √6.2 * 10^-5 m^2/3.142

r = 1.4 * 10^-3 m

Diameter = 2r = 2( 1.4 * 10^-3 m) = 2.8 * 10^-3 m

What motion makes the acceleration unchanged?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass. If the net force acting on an object doubles, its acceleration is doubled. If the mass is doubled, then acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and the mass are doubled, the acceleration will be unchanged.

The speed of sound in wood is ____ the speed of sound in water.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

greater

Explanation:

the speed of sound in steel is greater than water. the speed of sound in wood is not, In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Wood is less dense and force can make a sound.
