Zarrin [17]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

The setup contains rock, cylinder, covering lid and atmosphere. One or a few may contribute to the loss of water.

They may be dry, so it might have absorbed water. The rock may be porous and absorb water due to gaps between its molecules.

The material used as lid to cover the cylinder may be not good enogh to stop water from evaporation. The cylinder you might have kept near a hot source and water may have converted water vapor.

What is gibbs paradox?
mr_godi [17]
This leads to a paradox known as the Gibbs paradox, after Josiah Willard Gibbs. The paradox allows for the entropy of closed systems to decrease, violating the second law of thermodynamics. A related paradox is the "mixing paradox".

Compute the voltage drop along a 26-m length of household no. 14 copper wire (used in 15-A circuits). The wire has diameter 1.62
zepelin [54]

Answer:

V= 2.7 [v]

Explanation:

The value of the resistance is given by:

R=L*\frac{Rho}{A}\\\\where:\\R=resistance\\L=Lenght\\Rho=Resistivity\\A=Transversal -Area

so:

R=26m*\frac{(1.68*10^{-8}ohm*m)}{\pi *(\frac{1.628*10^{-3}m}{2})^2}\\R=0.21 Ohm

We can calulate the voltage dropped using the Ohm's law:

V=I*R\\V=13A*0.21Ohm=2.7V

Suppose a candle is burning, and wind is blowing on one side of the flame. Which principle explains why the flame bends toward t
Mekhanik [1.2K]

When a candle is burning and wind is blowing it on one side of the flame, which causes the flame to bend towards the wind is an example of Bernoulli’s principle. The principle explain that the higher the speed, the lower the pressure becomes. When you blow against one side of the flame, you are creating an area of low pressure. The relatively high-pressure air on the other side of the candle will rush over to fill the area of low pressure that causes the flame to be pushed in the direction of the blowing.
