Which statement describes the general process of diffusion?

2 answers:

6 0

Diffusion is different from osmosis. Diffusion is when a solute passes through a semipermeable membrane inorder to reach equalibrium, while osmosis is water passing through a semipermeable membrane in order to reach equilibrium. Diffusion is when a higher concentration dilutes a lower concentration to reach its most equal state.

LuckyWell [14K]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Explanation:

From he question we are told that

The first mass is $m_1 = 0.42kg$

The second mass is $m_2 = 0.47kg$

From the question we can see that at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where $m_1 \ and \ m_2$ are hanged ) is attached is zero

Therefore we can say that

$m_1 * 15cm = m_2 * xcm$

Making x the subject of the formula

$x = \frac{m_1 * 15}{m_2}$

$= \frac{0.42 * 15}{0.47}$

$x = 13.4 cm$

Looking at the diagram we can see that the tension T on the string holding the bar where $m_1 \ and \ m_2$ are hanged is as a result of the masses ( $m_1 + m_2$ )

Also at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where ( $m_1 +m_2$ ) and $m_3$ are hanged ) is attached is zero

So basically

$(m_1 + m_2 ) * 20 = m_3 * 30$

$(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 = 30 * m_3$

Making $m_3$ subject

$m_3 = \frac{(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 }{30 }$

$m_3 = 0.59 kg$

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

n = c / v

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

v = d / t

v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

n = 1,875

sattari [20]

Answer: a

Explanation: The color of a star is linked to its surface temperature. The hotter the star, the shorter the wavelength of light it will emit. The hottest ones are blue or blue-white, which are shorter wavelengths of light. Cooler ones are red or red-brown, which are longer wavelengths.

Infrared light of wavelength 2.5 µm illuminates a 0.20-mm-diameter hole. What is the angle of the first dark fringe in radians?

stepan [7]

Answer:

Θ=0.01525 rad

Θ=0.87°

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength λ=2.5 µm =2.5×10⁻⁶m

Diameter d=0.20 mm =0.20×10⁻³m

To find

Angle Θ in radians and degree

Solution

Circular apertures have first dark fringe at

Θ=(1.22λ)/d

Substitute the given values

Θ=[1.22(2.5×10⁻⁶m)]/0.20×10⁻³m

Θ=0.01525 rad

Θ=0.87°
