A physics student looks into a microscope and observes that small particles suspended in water are moving about in an irregular

motion. Which of the following statements is the best explanation for this observation?
a. water molecules strike the particles giving them the same average kinetic energy as the water
b. the particles are carried by convection currents in the water
c. the small particles may be considered a fluid; and thus, move about randomly
d. the actual motion is regular, but the speeds of particles are too large to observe the regular motion
e. the particles are moving to be uniformly distributed throughout the volume of the water

Answer:

d. the actual motion is regular, but the speeds of particles are too large to observe the regular motion

Explanation:

The speeds of the particles are very large and comparatively the average  free path is very small . Therefore time taken in covering the free path ( path between two consecutive collision with medium particles ) is very small . Hence the st line  path covered by particles between two collision is less likely to be visible. Hence motion appears irregular or zig-zag.

A 100 kg marble slab falls off a skyscraper and falls 200 m to the ground without hitting anyone. Its fall stops within millisec
Radda [10]

Answer:

Δ T = 2.28°C

Explanation:

given,

mass of marble = 100 Kg

height of fall = 200 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

C_marble = 860 J/(kg °C)

using conservation of energy

Potential energy = heat energy

  m g h = m C_{marble}\Delta T

  g h =C_{marble}\Delta T

  \Delta T= \dfrac{g h}{C_{marble}}

  \Delta T= \dfrac{9.8 \times 200}{860}

        Δ T = 2.28°C

In a particular beam of radiation, which is traveling in a vacuum, the amounts of energy per second at an ultraviolet wavelength
Darina [25.2K]

Answer: d)

Explanation: In order to justify the answer we have to consider that the energy of photons directely depent on the frequency so the energy is inverselly dependent of the wavelegth.

If both beams have the same power, this means Energy/time so the number of photons per second must be different. As consequence a) is wrong as  b) since it is not posible since UV photon  have more energy that IR photons. c) It is no necessary know the frequency since the wavelength is related in the form:

c=λν  c is the speed of light, λ the wavelegth and ν the frequency.

d) Certainly will be more more IR photons than UV photons to get the same beam power.
