Answer:

Diffusion

Explanation:

Diffusion is the tendency of molecules to rise from region of higher concentration to region lower concentration until they are even distributed. The tendency of molecules to move toward areas of lower concentration is called diffusion. Diffusion occurs base on diffusion gradient which is change in quantity of the the molecule with respect to change in variables of the medium. The rate of diffusion varies for different substances and mediums.

A boat moves through the water of a river at 10m/s relative to the water, regardless of the boat ‘s direction . If the water in

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "61.37 s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Boat moves,

= 10 m/s

Water flowing,

= 1.50 m/s

Displacement,

d = 300 m

Now,

The boat is travelling,

= $10+1.50$

= $11.5 \ m/s$

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ $v = \frac{d}{t} \ sot \ t$

$=\frac{d}{v}$

On putting the values, we get

$=\frac{300}{11.5}$

$=26.08 \ s$

Throughout the opposite direction, when the boat seems to be travelling then,

= $10-1.50$

= $8.5 \ m/s$

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ $v=\frac{v}{t} \ sot \ t$

$=\frac{d}{v}$

On putting the values, we get

$=\frac{300}{8.5}$

$=35.29 \ s$

hence,

The time taken by the boat will be:

= $26.08+35.29$

= $61.37 \ s$

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an altitude of 4.08 × 105 m above the surface of the planet. At what veloc

alukav5142 [94]

This question involves the concepts of orbital velocity and orbital radius.

The orbital velocity of ISS must be "7660.25 m/s".

The orbital velocity of the ISS can be given by the following formula:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}$

where,

v = orbital velocity = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

R = orbital radius = radius of earth + altitude = 63.78 x 10⁵ m + 4.08 x 10⁵ m

R = 67.86 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\ x\ 10^{24}\ kg)}{67.86\ x\ 10^5\ m}}$

mart [117]

Answer:

diameter of largest orbit is 0.60 m

Explanation:

given data

isotopes accelerates KE = 6.5 MeV

magnetic field B = 1.2 T

to find out

diameter

solution

first we find velocity from kinetic energy equation

KE = 1/2 × m×v² ........1

6.5 × 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ = 1/2 × 1.672 × $10^{-27}$ ×v²

v = 3.5 × $10^{7}$ m/s

radius will be

radius = $\frac{m*v}{B*q}$ ........2

radius = $\frac{1.672*10^{-27}*3.5*10^{7}}{1.2*1.6*10^{-19}}$

radius = 0.30

so diameter = 2 × 0.30

so diameter of largest orbit is 0.60 m

Answer:

The fundamental wavelength of the vibrating string is 1.7 m.

Explanation:

We have,

Velocity of wave on a guitar string is 344 m/s

Length of the guitar string is 85 cm or 0.85 m

It is required to find the fundamental wavelength of the vibrating string. The fundamental frequency on the string is given by :

$f=\dfrac{v}{2l}\\\\f=\dfrac{344}{2\times 0.85}\\\\f=202.35\ Hz$

Now fundamental wavelength is :

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{344}{202.35}\\\\\lambda=1.7\ m$

So, the fundamental wavelength of the vibrating string is 1.7 m.
