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.

10) A soccer player kicks a soccer ball (m = 0.42 kg) accelerating from rest to 32.5m/s in 0.21s. Determine the force that sends
MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

(10) Mass of a soccer player, m = 0.42 kg

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, v = 32.5 m/s

Time, t = 0.21 s

We need to find the force that sends soccer ball towards the goal.

Force, F = ma

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.42 \times (32.5-0)}{0.21}\\\\F=65\ N

So, 65 N of force soccer ball sends towards the goal.

(11) Mass of the satellite, m = 72,000 kg

Initial speed, u = 0 m/s

Final speed, v = 0.63 m/s

Time, t = 1296 s

We need to find the force is exerted by the rocket on the satellite.

Force, F = ma

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{72,000\times (0.63-0)}{1296}\\\\F=35\ N

So, 35 N of the force is exerted by the rocket on the satellite.

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the relationship between distance and sound wave return time?
nekit [7.7K]
The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.

A steel pipe of 12-in. outer diameter is fabricated from 1 4 -in.-thick plate by welding along a helix that forms an angle of 25
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Normal stress = 66/62.84 = 1.05kips/in²

shearing stress  = T/2 = 0.952/2 = 0.476 kips/in²

Explanation:

A steel pipe of 12-in. outer diameter  d₂ =12in  d₁= 12 -4in = 8in

4 -in.-thick  

angle of 25°

Axial force P = 66 kip axial force

determine the normal and shearing stresses

Normal stress б = force/area = P/A

           = 66/ (П* (d₂²-d₁²)/4

           =66/ (3.142* (12²-8²)/4

          = 66/62.84 = 1.05kips/in²

Tangential stress T = force* cos ∅/area = P/A

           = 66* cos 25/ (П* (d₂²-d₁²)/4

           =59.82/ (3.142* (12²-8²)/4

          = 59.82/62.84 = 0.952kips/in²

shearing stress  = tangential stress /2

                           = T/2 = 0.952/2 = 0.476 kips/in²
