The surface tension of water is 7.28 ✕ 10−2 J/m2 at 20°C. Predict whether the surface tension of octane would be higher or lower

than that of water at the same temperature. Explain your answer.

Explanation:

It is known that octane is a hydrocarbon and London dispersion forces are the main intermolecular forces which are present in it.

Whereas water molecules tend to form hydrogen bonding forces which are actually much stronger than dipole-dipole interactions. This means that more energy is necessary to separate water molecules from one another than to separate octane molecules from one another.

Hence, we can conclude that surface tension of octane is expected to be lower than that of water when the two are considered at the same temperature.

A Parachutist with a camera, with descending at a speed of 12.5m/s, releases, the camera at an altitude of 64.3m. What is the ma
jonny [76]

Given :

Initial velocity, u = 12.5 m/s.

Height of camera, h = 64.3 m.

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s².

To Find :

How long does it take the camera to reach the ground.

Solution :

By equation of motion :

h = ut+\dfrac{gt^2}{2}

Putting all given values, we get :

12.5t+\dfrac{9.8t^2}{2}=64.3\\\\4.9t^2+12.5t=64.3

t = 2.56  and t = −5.116.

Since, time cannot be negative.

t = 2.56 s.

Therefore, time taken is 2.56 s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A special rocket can produce 7.66 ✕ 10^5 N of instantaneous thrust with an exhaust speed of 3.05 ✕ 103 m/s in vacuum. What mass
adelina 88 [10]

The mass of fuel the engine burn each second to produce a thrust of 7.66×10⁵ N is 2.5×10² kg/s.

<h3 /><h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass can be defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. The S.I unit of mass is kilogram(kg)

To calculate the mass the engine burns each seconds, we use the formula below.

Formual:

  • M = T/v............. Equation

Where:

  • M = Mass per seconds of the rocket
  • T = Thrust
  • v = Velocity

From the question,

Given:

  • T = 7.66×10⁵ N
  • v = 3.05×10³ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • M = (7.66×10⁵)/(3.05×10³)
  • M = 2.5×10² kg/s

Hence, the mass of fuel burned in each second is 2.5×10² kg/s.

F F= {mango, apple, banana, orange)​
Stels [109]

Answer:

<h3>n(F) = 4</h3>

Explanation:

Cardinality of a set is the number of elements in that set. Given the set.

F= {mango, apple, banana, orange)​, we are to determine the cardinality of the set i.e the amount of fruit present in the set. Cardinality of the set F is represented as n(F).

Since there are 4 different fruit in the given set F, hence the cardinality of the set F is n(F) = 4

A man is running on the straight road with the uniform velocity of 3 metre per second calculate the acceleration for produced hi
sp2606 [1]

Theoritically

the body moving with uniform velocity has acceleration zero.

Mathmatically,

u=3m/s

v=3m/s (since body is moving with uniform velocity)

a= v-u/t

3-3/t

0/t

Se aplican dos fuerzas concurrentes a un objeto de 4N a la derecha y 5N a la izquierda. ¿Hacia donde se movió y con cuanta fuerz
Maksim231197 [3]

The forces move strongly towards the left by 1N

Given the following

Force towards the right = 4N

Force towards the left = 5N

Note that the force acting towards the left is negative, hence the force acting towards the left is -5N

Take the sum of force

Resultant force = -5N + 4N

Resultant force = -1N

This shows that the forces move strongly towards the left by 1N
