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.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Work done against gravity will be

W = Mgℓ

Explanation:

Work done to raise the mass from ground to given height is against gravity

So here work done is given by the formula

W = F.d

here we know that

F = Mg

it is the force due to gravity which is also known as weight

so here distance moved by the object is given as

d = ℓ

now work done is given as

W = Mg ℓ

A pickup truck and a hatchback car start at the same position. If the truck is moving at a constant 33.2m/s and the hatchback ca
love history [14]

Answer:

The pickup truck and hatchback will meet again at 440.896 m

Explanation:

Let us assume that both vehicles are at origin at the start means initial position is zero i.e. s_{o} = 0. Both the vehicles will cross each other at same time so we will make equations for both and will solve for time.

Truck:

v_{i} = 33.2 m/s, a = 0 (since the velocity is constant), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

s = 33.2t .......... eq (1)

Hatchback:

a=5m/s^{2}, v_{i} = 0 m/s (since initial velocity is zero), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

putting in the data we will get

s=(1/2)(5)t^{2}

now putting 's' value from eq (1)

2.5t^{2}-33.2t=0

which will give,

t = 13.28 s

so both vehicles will meet up gain after 13.28 sec.

putting t = 13.28 in eq (1) will give

s = 440.896 m

So, both vehicles will meet up again at 440.896 m.

A person observing a flame is interested in the types of electromagnetic waves with slightly shorter and slightly longer wavelen
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Ultra violet rays and infrared rays

Explanation:

The electromagnetic radiation in the order of increasing wavelength is given as

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultra violet rays

Visible radiation

Infrared rays

Microwaves

radiowaves

So, the radiations having wavelength more than the visible radiation are infrared radiations and the radiations which having the wavelength less then the visible radiation is Ultraviolet rays.

So, we observe ultra violet radiations and infrared radiations.
