Contact lenses are designed to be gas permeable in order to allow oxygen to diffuse to the eye. If the edge of a contact lens is

double the thickness of the central portion of the lens, how will the diffusion time differ through the different parts of the contact lens?
a) The diffusion time through the edge is double the diffusion time through the center.
b) The diffusion time through the edge is quadruple the diffusion time through the center
c) The diffusion time through the edge is half the diffusion time through the center
d) The diffusion time is the same for both.

Answer: A

The diffusion time through the edge is double the diffusion time through the center.

Explanation:

Only the diffusion coefficient, thickness, surface area, distance affects the time it takes a gas such as oxygen to diffuse a given in a medium. The Diffusion time increases with the square of diffusion distance  Also, the Increased surface area increases the rate of diffusion or the diffusion time, whereas a thicker membrane reduces the rate of diffusion or time it takes the gas to be permeable. Also, The greater the distance that a substance must travel, the slower the rate of diffusion The diffusion coefficient determines the time it takes a gas to diffuse. Also the Diffusion time is inversely proportional to the diffusion coefficient.

Now, If the edge of a contact lens is double the thickness of the central portion of the lens, then it will take more time for the gas to diffuse through the thicker portion. since its edge is double the central position, then the diffusion time will also be doubled. So Option A is the best answer-

The diffusion time through the edge is double the diffusion time through the center.

A 0.325 g wire is stretched between two points 57.7 cm apart. The tension in the wire is 650 N. Find the frequency of first harm
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

f = 931.1 Hz

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the wire, m = 0.325 g

Length of the stretch, L = 57.7 cm = 0.577 m

Tension in the wire, T = 650 N

Frequency for the first harmonic = ?

we know,

v =\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

μ is the mass per unit length

μ = 0.325 x 10⁻³/ 0.577

μ = 0.563 x 10⁻³ Kg/m

now,

v =\sqrt{\dfrac{650}{0.563\times 10^{-3}}}

   v = 1074.49 m/s

The wire is fixed at both ends. Nodes occur at fixed ends.

For First harmonic when there is a node at each end and the longest possible wavelength will have condition

          λ=2 L

          λ=2 x 0.577 = 1.154 m

we now,

       v = f λ

      f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

      f = \dfrac{1074.49}{1.154}

             f = 931.1 Hz

The frequency for first harmonic is equal to f = 931.1 Hz

You are in Paris, 60 m up in the Eiffel Tower. If you throw a euro downward at a velocity of 2.0 m/s, how long would it take the
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

t = 3.29 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of the Eiffel tower is 60 m

Initial speed of a euro, u = 2 m/s

It will move under the action of gravity in the downward direction. Firstly, we can find the final velocity as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2ad} \\\\v=\sqrt{(2)^2+2\times 9.81\times 60} \\\\v=34.36\ m/s

Let t is the time taken by the euro to hit the ground. It can be calculated as :

v=u+at\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{34.36-2}{9.81}\\\\t=3.29\ s

Hence, it will take 3.29 seconds to hit the ground.

What is the Kinetic Energy of a 1200 kg object that is moving with a speed of 24 m/s
SVEN [57.7K]

Kinetic Energy = 1/2mv^2

m= 1200kg

v= 24 m/s

KE = 1/2 (1200kg)(24m/s)^2 = 345,600 N
