Why is salt water a better conductor of electricity than river water?

Physics
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The conductivity of water depends on the concentration of dissolved ions in solution. ... This is because the Sodium Chloride salt dissociates into ions. Hence sea water is about a million times more conductive than fresh water.

A 12 n cart is moving on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.20. what force of friction must be ove
jonny [76]

We must remember that the total net force equation at constant velocity is:

<span>F – Ff = 0</span>

of

F - µN = 0

Using Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:<span>

F = m a 

<span>Where,

F = net force acting on the body 
m = mass of the body 
a = acceleration of the body 

Since the cart is moving at a constant velocity, then acceleration is zero, hence the working equation simplifies to 

F = net Force = 0 

Therefore, 

F - µN = 0 

where 

µ = coefficient of friction = 0.20 
N = normal force acting on the cart = 12 N 

Therefore, 

F - 0.20(12) = 0 

<span>F = 2.4 N </span></span></span>

1. in which of the following cases is the wavelength of the emitted radiation greatest? electron jumps from third orbit to secon
Yuki888 [10]
The more energy orbits the radiation jumps the more energy it has. So if the frequency stays the same each time then the wavelength will get longer if there is more energy.

In this case the situation in which the radiation jumps the most energy orbits is when: the electron jumps from the fourth orbit to the first orbit. This will emit the longest wavelength

A double slit that is illuminated with coherent light of wavelength 644 nm produces a pattern of bright and dark fringes on a sc
shutvik [7]

Answer:

2.77 cm

Explanation:

d = separation between the slits = 2783 x 10⁻⁹ m

\lambda = wavelength of coherent light = 644 nm = 644 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = Distance of the screen = 6 cm = 0.06 m

y_{n} = Position of nth bright fringe

Position of nth bright fringe is given as

y_{n} = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}  

for n = 2

y_{2} = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}  

y_{2} = \frac{(2)(0.06)(644\times10^{-9}))}{2783\times10^{-9}}

y_{2} = 0.0278 m

for n = 4

y_{4} = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}  

y_{4} = \frac{(4)(0.06)(644\times10^{-9}))}{2783\times10^{-9}}

y_{4} = 0.0555 m

Distance between 4th and 2nd bright fringes is given as

w = y_{4} - y_{2} = 0.0555 - 0.0278 = 0.0277 m

w = 2.77 cm

Imagine holding a basketball in both hands, throwing it straight up as high as you can, and then catching it when it falls. At w
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:before throwing and after catching the ball

Explanation:

When basketball is in the hand of player net force on it zero as holding force is canceled by gravity Force. During its entire motion gravitational force is acting on the ball which is acting downward. Even at highest point gravity is constantly acting downwards.

After catching the ball net force on it zero as holding force is canceled by gravity force and ball is continue to be in stationary motion.
