How quickly a leaf grows is proportional how big [ie the surface area] the leaf is. If the area of the leaf grows from 2cm2 to 3

cm2 in 3 days, how long will it take for the leaf's area to increase to 5 cm2

Answer: 9 days

Explanation:

  • Step 1

Let the rate of Leaf growth <em>r</em> be defined as, \frac{Increase  in  area}{time taken} = \frac{A1 - A}{t}

where <em>A</em> is initial area of the leaf, <em>A1</em> is the final area of the leaf and<em> t</em> is the time taken for the increase in Area.

  • Express the proportional relationship in equation.

Given that rate of leaf growth, r is proportional to the surface area of the leaf A. we have r ∝ A.

r = kA, where k is the rate constant.

therefore, k = \frac{r}{A}

when A = 2cm^{2}, A1 = 3

so k = \frac{\frac{3 - 2}{3}}{2}

= \frac{1}{3} ÷ 2

= 0.33 ÷ 2

k = 0.167

  • After calculating the rate constant k, we then find the time t when A1 is 5cm^{2}
  • we have r = k × A1 = \frac{A1 - A}{t}

so, 0.167 × 2 = \frac{5 - 2}{t}

0.33 = \frac{3}{t}.

t = 3/0.33

Therefore, t = 9 days.

Explain how valence electrons can result in the<br> creation of ions.
Brums [2.3K]
So as you may know atoms are neutral because the number of protons (+ charge) and the number of electrons( - charge) are the same so they cancel out. When a valence electron leaves an atom it will have a +1 charge because there is one less negative than positives or there is one more positive than negatives since a negative electron left. If a valence electron is added a -1 charge because there is now one more negative than positive!!!
hope that helps!!

The downsprue leading into the runner of a certain mold has a length of 175 mm. The cross-sectional area at the base of the spru
adoni [48]

Answer:

(a) Velocity at bottom is 1.85 m/s

(b) Volume flow rate is 7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s.

(c) The time required to fill the mold is 1.35 s.

Explanation:

(a)

Applying Bernoulli's Equation on both ends of the down sprue, with the assumptions that every point is at atmospheric pressure and the liquid metal at the pouring basin is at zero velocity. The equation then becomes:

V = √2gh

where,

V = velocity at bottom of down sprue

h = height of down sprue = 175 mm = 0.175 m

V = √2(9.8 m/s²)(0.175 m)

<u>V = 1.85 m/s</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The volume flow rate is given as:

Volume Flow Rate = (V)(A)

where,

V = velocity at bottom = 1.85 m/s

A = Area of bottom = 400 mm² = 0.0004 m²

Therefore,

Volume Flow Rate = (1.85 m/s)(0.0004 m²)

<u>Volume Flow Rate = 7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s = 740 cm³/s</u>

(c)

The time required to fill the cavity is given as:

Volume Flow Rate = V/t

where,

V = Volume of mold Cavity = 0.001 m³

t = time required to fill the cavity = ?

Therefore,

t = V/Volume Flow Rate

t = 0.001 m³/7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s

<u>t = 1.35 s</u>

<u></u>

A physical pendulum in the form of a planar object moves in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 0.680 Hz. The pendulum ha
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Therefore, the moment of inertia is:

I=0.37 \: kgm^{2}

Explanation:

The period of an oscillation equation of a solid pendulum is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{Mgd}} (1)

Where:

  • I is the moment of inertia
  • M is the mass of the pendulum
  • d is the distance from the center of mass to the pivot
  • g is the gravity

Let's solve the equation (1) for I

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{Mgd}}

I=Mgd(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}

Before find I, we need to remember that

T = \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.680}=1.47\: s

Now, the moment of inertia will be:

I=2*9.81*0.340(\frac{1.47}{2\pi})^{2}  

Therefore, the moment of inertia is:

I=0.37 \: kgm^{2}

I hope it helps you!
