Why did the potassium permanganate crystals start to dissolve in water without being stirred or shaken

<span>because the substance in the potassium permanganate crystals are permeable to water, so that means it will dissolve instantly while poured into water </span>

Answer:

Explanation:Potassium permanganate is used as an oxidizing agent in water treatment to remove colour,taste and make some viruses and bacteria inactive.

When you put potassium permanganate in a beaker and add water,its particles randomly. You will observe a purple slowly spreading at the base of the water. The purple solution will slowly spread into the rest of the water until a uniform colouration is form. This process is diffusion.

A 79.7 kg base runner begins his slide into second base while moving at a speed of 4.77 m/s. The coefficient of friction between

SashulF [63]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the kinetic energy theorem. Said theorem states that the work done by the net force (sum of all forces) applied to a particle is equal to the change experienced by the kinetic energy of that particle. This is:

$\Delta W = \Delta KE$

$\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Here,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

$m = 79.7kg$

$v = 4.77m/s$

Replacing,

$\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (79.7kg)(4.77m/s)^2$

$\Delta W = 907J$

Therefore the mechanical energy lost due to friction acting on the runner is 907J

Dose sound travel faster in a warm room or a cold room? explain your answer

dusya [7]

Answer:Sound travel faster in warm room.

Explanation:The speed of sound depends on the temperature of the medium. Mathematically, the relation between the speed of the sound and the temperature is give by:v=

is the ratio of the specific heats

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature of the medium

We know that the temperature of the warm room is more as compared to the cold room.

So, it is clear that the sound travel faster in a warm room. The particles move faster when the temperature is high.

An object slides on a level surface in the +x direction. It slows and comes to a stop with a constant acceleration of -2.45 m/s2

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

uk = 0.25

Explanation:

Given:-

- An object comes to stop with acceleration, a = -2.45 m/s^2

Find:-

What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the floor?

Solution:-

- Assuming the object has mass (m) that slides over a rough surface with coefficient of kinetic friction (uk). There is only Frictional force (Ff) acting in the horizontal axis on the object opposing the motion (-x direction).

- We will apply equilibrium equation on the object in vertical direction.

N - m*g = 0

N = m*g

Where, N : Contact force exerted by the surface on the floor

g : Gravitational acceleration constant = 9.81 m/s^2

- Now apply Newton's second law of motion in the horizontal ( x-direction ):

- Ff = m*a

- The frictional force is related to contact force (N) by the following expression:

Ff = uk*N

- Substitute the 1st and 3rd expressions in the 2nd equation:

uk*m*g = -m*a

uk = a / g
