Alex777 [14]4 years ago

Answer:

<u>time taken will be halved</u>

Explanation:

we have

t=\frac{x^{2}}{2D}   ..................(1)

where

t = time elapsed since diffusion began

x^{2} = mean distance traveled by the diffusion solute

D = Diffusion coefficient

now, according to the conditions given in the question

when, diffusion coefficient (D) doubles i.e D' = 2D

Average diffusion distance remains same i.e x' = x

substituting the values in the equation we get

t=\frac{x'^{2}}{2D'}

or

t=\frac{x^{2}}{2(2D)}

or

t=\frac{x^{2}}{4D} ...............(2)

hence, on comparing equation (1) and (2) we can say that the<u> time taken will be halved</u> when the diffusion coefficient doubles and the mean distance traveled remains the same

A small spinning asteroid is in a circular orbit around a star, much like the earth's motion around our sun. The asteroid has a
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Temperature will be 305 K  

Explanation:

We have given The asteroid has a surface area A=7.70m^2

Power absorbed P = 3800 watt

Boltzmann constant \sigma =5.67\times 10^{-8}Wm/K^4

According to Boltzmann rule power radiated is given by

P=\sigma AT^4

3800=5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 7.70\times T^4

T^4=87.0381\times 10^8

T=305K

So temperature will be 305 K

What is the formation of a shadow?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Shadows are formed when an opaque object or material is placed in the path of rays of light. The opaque material does not let the light pass through it. The light rays that go past the edges of the material make an outline for the shadow

30 POINTS!!! I need help ASAP, if someone comments just for points, or is incorrect just for points I will report! Please help!!
Anika [276]

Answer:

1.) answer B

2.) answer D

3.) answer A

Explanation:

In all of these problems, it is essential to draw pictures in order to understand which trigonometric function to use according to the angle that the vector in question forms with the component requested. For all of them try to picture a right angle triangle with the vector as the hypotenuse, and the components as the triangle's shorter sides. Please refer to the three pictures attached as image for this answer a,d notice that the vector quantity known for all cases is represented in red, and the component to find is represented in green.

Problem 1) : the vector velocity makes an angle of 24 degrees with the edge of the table. So picture that vector as the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle for which you know the value: 1.8 m/s

So in this case, where you know the angle, the hypotenuse, and need to find the adjacent side to the angle, you use the cosine function as follows:

requested component =1.8 * cos (24) =1.644 \frac{m}{s}

which we round to 1.6 to match answer C).

For problem 2.) wee need to find the component opposite to the given angle in the triangle for which we also know the hypotenuse. So we use the sine function as follows:

requested component =150 * sin(65) = 135.94 m

which we round to 135.9 m to match answer D).

For problem 3.) we need to find the horizontal component to the acceleration which corresponds to the adjacent side to the known angle, so we use the cosine function as follows:

requested component =12 *cos(50) = 7.71 \frac{m}{s^2}

which we round tp 7.7 to match answer A).

A transformer has two sets of coils, the primary with N1 = 160 turns and the secondary with N2 = 1400 turns. The input rms volta
vovikov84 [41]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the voltage in a coil, through the percentage relationship that exists between the voltage and the number of turns it has.

So things our data are given by

N_1 = 160

N_2 = 1400

\Delta V_{1rms} = 62V

PART A) Since it is a system in equilibrium the relationship between the two transformers would be given by

\frac{N_1}{N_2} = \frac{\Delta V_{1rms}}{\Delta V_{2rms}}

So the voltage for transformer 2 would be given by,

\Delta V_{2rms} = \frac{N_2}{N_1} \Delta V_{1rms}

PART B) To express the number value we proceed to replace with the previously given values, that is to say

\Delta V_{2rms} = \frac{N_1}{N_2} \Delta V_{1rms}

\Delta V_{2rms} = \frac{1400}{160} 62V

\Delta V_{2rms} = 1446.66V

The following equation is an example of decay?<br><br> 232/90 TH---4/2 HE +228/88 RA?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Alpha decay

Explanation:

  • Alpha decay is one of the three major types of decays, others being, beta decay and gamma decay.
  • <em><u>When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha decay it emits alpha particles. An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of Helium atom.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, an atom undergoing decay, its atomic mass is decreased by 4 and its atomic number is decreased by 2. </u></em>
  • Thus, since 232/90 Th, has undergone alpha decay its mass number is reduced by 4 to 228 and its atomic number by 2 to 88, and becomes 228/88 Ra.
