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.
Physics

qaws [65]3 years ago
7 0

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 plane travels 350 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 125 km/h to the south. The plane has a 30 minute
faust18 [17]
Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

1st part of journey,  350 km at velocity 125 km/h

Time = 350 / 125 = 2.8 hours.

2nd part of journey,  220 km at velocity 115 km/h

Time = 220 / 115 = 1.9 hours


Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

                               = (350 + 220) / (2.8 + 1.9)

                                =   570 / 4.7  ≈ 121.3 km/hr

Average Velocity ≈ 121 km/hr due south.

A proton in a particle accelerator is traveling at a speed of 0.99c.(a) If you use the approximate nonrelativistic equation for
____ [38]

Answer:

a)  p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ kg m / s , b)  p = 35 .18 10⁻¹⁹  kg m / s ,

c)  p_correst / p_approximate = 7.09

Explanation:

a) The moment is defined in classical mechanics as

                 p = m v

Let's calculate its value

               p = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 0.99 3. 10⁸

               p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ kg m / s

b) in special relativity the moment is defined as

               p = m v / √(1 –v² / c²)

Let's calculate

                p = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 0.99 10⁸/ √(1- 0.99²)

                p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ / 0.141

                p = 35 .18 10⁻¹⁹  kg m / s

c) the relationship between the two values ​​is

            p_correst / p_approximate = 35.18 / 4.96

            p_correst / p_approximate = 7.09

a car traveling at 24 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 6 seconds what is its acceleration?
Irina18 [472]
We can solve for the acceleration by using a kinematic equation. First we should identify what we know so we can choose the  correct equation.

We are given an original velocity of 24 m/s, a final velocity of 0 m/s, and a time  of 6 s. We and looking for acceleration (a) in m/s^2.

The following equation has everything we need:

v_f=v_i + at

So plug in the known values and solve for a:

0 = 24 + 6a

-24 = 6a

a = -4 m/s^2
