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 current of 0.92 A flows past a point in a circuit? How much charge, in units of Coulombs, passes that point in one minute?
Alisiya [41]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<u>  = 55.2 Coulombs </u>

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

We can determine Charge using the formula

Q =It, where Q is the amount of charge in Coulombs, I is the current in amperes and t is the time in seconds.

I = 0.92 amperes, t = 1 minute or 60 seconds

Charge = 0.92 × 60

          <u>  = 55.2 Coulombs </u>

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s
babunello [35]

Answer:

Separation increases at all times that rock X falls because it falls with a greater speed

Explanation:

For both rocks, let initial velocity ∪=0

To find the displacement at any given time interval of Δt then

S= ∪Δt +0.5gΔt²

Since rock X is first released followed by Y, then X has a greater speed than Y therefore the distance covered by X is longer. This is because despite 0.5gΔt² being same for both rocks at any time Δt but rock X having already attained some velocity, its ∪Δt  is more hence the separation S increases. Conclusively, S increases at all times that rock X falls since rock X falls with a greater velocity than rock Y

<span>Use Charles' Law: 
v1/T1 = v2/T2 
88.2/(273+35) = v2/(273+155) 
where v2 is the new volume.

I hope this helps!!!</span>
