The closure temperature represents the point when isotopes are no longer free to move out of a crystal lattice.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The closure temperature can also be termed as blocking temperature. It is mostly used in radiometric dating. As the temperature decreases, below a certain point the isotopes may get freeze in their lattice positions. And there may be slowing of diffusion.

At the closure temperature, that rate of diffusion will be zero as the isotopes will be no longer free to move out of crystal lattice. So, this is termed as closure or blocking temperature. As the isotopes loose their ability to move, their concentration will remain fixed in their position leading to measurement of radiation dating.

If V is the original volume, V' is the new volume, T is the original Kelvin temperature, and T' is the new Kelvin temperature, h
madam [21]

Answer:

\frac{V}{T} = \frac{V'}{T'}

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Original volume = V

New volume = V'

Original temperature = T

New temperature = T'

To write an expression for Charles's law;

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles law is given by the formula;

\frac {V}{T} = K

\frac{V}{T} = \frac{V'}{T'}

Consider the following geometric solids.
Bad White [126]

Before answering this question, first we have to understand the effect of ratio of surface area to volume on the rate of diffusion.

The rate of diffusion for a body having larger surface area as compared to the ratio of surface area to volume will be more than a body having less surface area. Mathematically it can written as-

                           V∝ R            [ where v is the rate of diffusion and r is the ratio of surface area to volume]

As per the question,the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere is given 0.08m^{-1}

The surface area to volume ratio for right circular cylinder is given 2.1m^{-1}

Hence, it is obvious that the ratio is more for right circular cylinder.As the rate diffusion is directly proportional to the surface area to volume ratio,hence rate of diffusion will be more for right circular cylinder.

Hence the correct option is B. The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.

A 1.0 kg copper rod rests on two horizontal rails 1.0 m apart and carries a current of 50 A from one rail to the other.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer

given,

mass of copper rod = 1 kg

horizontal rails = 1 m

Current (I) = 50 A

coefficient of static friction = 0.6

magnetic force acting on a current carrying wire is

           F = B i L

Rod is not necessarily vertical

F_x =i L B_d

F_y= i L B_w

the normal reaction N = mg-F y

static friction       f = μ_s (mg-F y )

horizontal acceleration is zero

F_x-f = 0

iLBd = \mu_s(mg-F_y )

 B_w = B sinθ

 B_d = B cosθ

iLB cosθ= μ_s (mg- iLB sinθ)

B = \dfrac{\mu_smg}{i(cos\theta +\mu_s sin\theta)}

\theta =tan{-1}{\mu_s}

\theta =tan{-1}{0.6}

\theta = 31^0

B = \dfrac{0.6\times 1 \times 9.8}{50(cos31^0 +0.6 sin31^0)}

       B = 0.1 T

Two tuning forks, 254 Hz. and 260 Hz., are struck simultaneously. How many beats will be heard?
Lisa [10]

The longer you continue to listen, the more beats will be heard.

They'll occur at the rate of (260Hz - 254Hz) = 6 Hz .
