Which of the following factors will negatively impact the rate of diffusion of a molecule?

Physics
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A low difference in the concentration of the molecule across the media

Explanation:

Diffusion is a type of passive transport where the molecules move in the influence of concentration gradient of diffusing molecules i.e. from the higher concentration region to the lower concentration region. There are some factors which affect the rate of diffusion, these are written below -

  1. Mass of diffusing molecule - lighter molecules diffuse faster and heavier one diffuse relatively slower.
  2. Concentration gradient - rate of diffusion is higher if the difference in concentration of the diffusing particles is larger in the two regions.
  3. Distance traveled - molecules diffuse faster if they need to travel little distance during diffusion.
  4. Temperature - rate of diffusion will be greater at higher temperatures because the movement of diffusing molecules gets increased.
  5. Solvent density - rate of diffusion tend to be lower if the solvent has higher density.

Looking at these factors we can conclude that the second statement in the question tells about a negative impact regarding the diffusion because due to low difference in concentration across the two media, the rate of diffusion will be lower.

A ball is thrown straight up. What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point in its path?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

b. v = 0, a = 9.8 m/s² down.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The acceleration of gravity is always directed to the ground (down) and, near the surface of the earth, has a constant value of 9.8 m/s². Since the answer "b" is the only option with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s² directed downwards, that would solve the exercise. But why is the velocity zero at the highest point?

Let´s take a look at the height function:

h(t) = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 g · t²

Where

h0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity

Notice that the function is a negative parabola if we consider downward as negative (in that case "g" would be negative). Then, the function has a maximum (the highest point) at the vertex of the parabola. At the maximum point, the slope of the tangent line to the function is zero, because the tangent line is horizontal at a maximum point. The slope of the tangent line to the function is the rate of change of height with respect to time, i.e, the velocity. Then, the velocity is zero at the maximum height.

Another way to see it (without calculus):

When the ball is going up, the velocity vector points up and the velocity is positive. After reaching the maximum height, the velocity vector points down and is negative (the ball starts to fall). At the maximum height, the velocity vector changed its direction from positive to negative, then at that point, the velocity vector has to be zero.

deff fn [24]

Answer:he formula for average speed is (total distance/total time)

the y-component does not matter in this problem. so do 6.26(cos45)=4.43m/s to find the x-component velocity which is constant throughout the duration of the flight. the total distance is 2L because he travels distance L twice.

the total time is ((time in water)+(time out of water)) since you dont have time you must eliminate it. to do this you need (distance)/(time)=velocity

solve for time and you get T=D/V

time in water is L/3.52 and time out of water is L/4.43

add them together and you get (4.43L+3.52L)/(15.59) = 7.95L/15.59

that value is your total time

divide you total distance (2L) by total time (7.95L/15.59) and the Ls cancel out and you get

(31.18)/(7.95) = 3.92 m/s = Average Speed
