Students were asked to place a mint in their mouths and determine how long it took for the mint to dissolve. Students were asked

to leave a whole mint in their mouth and let it dissolve. Other student groups varied how the mint was treated. One group was asked to swirl the whole mint around in their mouth; another group cut the mint in half, and last group broke the mint into small pieces. The results are displayed in the table.
What conclusion can be drawn from the results?
A) Surface area did not play a role in this activity.
B) Agitation of the mint increased the dissolving time.
C) As surface area increased, the dissolving time decreased.
D) The heat of the mouth helped to decrease the time for the mint to dissolve.

whole mint 192
mint cut in half 108
swirled mint 76
mint cut into small pieces 38

The correct answer is C, the dissolving time will decrease due to the increased surface area.

Answer: C) As surface area increased, the dissolving time decreased.  

Surface area is the area which is exposed for a activity or process to take place. In this case surface of area being judged upon on two cases when students were asked to keep the whole mint in their mouth as such and in other when they were asked to swirl it in the mouth. Swirling inside the mouth will increase the surface area of the mint for dissolution inside the mouth. Therefore, as surface area increased, the dissolution time decreased.

Small, slowly moving spherical particles experience a drag force given by Stokes' law: Fd = 6πηrv where r is the radius of the p
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

At the time of a body achieving terminal velocity, the drag force becomes equal to the weight of the body less the buoyant force by the surrounding medium which can be represented by the following equation

\frac{4\pi\times r^3(d-\rho)}{3} =6\pi\times n\times r\times v

Where r is radius of the body , d is density of the material of the body σ is density of the medium and n is coefficient of viscosity of the medium and v is terminal velocity.

Simplifying

v = \frac{2\times r^2(d-\rho)}{9\times n}

Assuming the value of density of air as 1.225 kg/m³ and putting other given values in the formula we get

v = [tex]\frac{2\times (1.2\times10^{-5})^2(2182-1.225)}{9\times 1.8\times10^{-5}}[/tex]

v = 387 x 10⁻⁵ m/s

Terminal velocity = 387 x 10⁻⁵ m/s

Time taken to fall a distance of 100 m

= \frac{100}{387\times10^{-5}}

= 2.6 x 10⁴ s.
