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 -

Mass of diffusing molecule - lighter molecules diffuse faster and heavier one diffuse relatively slower.
Concentration gradient - rate of diffusion is higher if the difference in concentration of the diffusing particles is larger in the two regions.
Distance traveled - molecules diffuse faster if they need to travel little distance during diffusion.
Temperature - rate of diffusion will be greater at higher temperatures because the movement of diffusing molecules gets increased.
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 100g block is initially compressing a spring 5.0 cm. The spring launches the block 50cm horizontally along the ground with a f

Setler [38]

Answer:

7200 N/m

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion

100g = 0.1 kg

5 cm = 0.05 m

50 cm = 0.5 m

As the block is released from the spring and travelling to height h = 1.5m off the ground, the elastics energy is converted to work of friction force and the potential energy at 1.5 m off the ground

The work by friction force is the product of the force F = 15N itself and the distance s = 0.5 m

$W_f = F_fs = 15*0.5 = 7.5 J$

Let g = 10 m/s2. The change in potential energy can be calculated as the following:

$E_p = mgh = 0.1*10*1.5 = 1.5 J$

Therefore, as elastic energy is converted to potential energy and work of friction:

$E_e = W_f + E_p$

$kx^2/2 = 7.5 + 1.5 = 9 J$

$k = 9*2/x^2 = 18/0.05^2 = 7200 N/m$

) each plate of a parallel-plate air-filled capacitor has an area of 0.0020 , and the separation of the plates is an electric fi

Dvinal [7]

I attached the full question.
We know that for a parallel-plate capacitor the surface charge density is given by the following formula:
$\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{V}{d}$
Where V is the voltage between the plates and d is separation.
Voltage is by definition:
$V=Ed$
Voltage is analog to the mechanical work done by the force.
Above formula is correct only If the field is constant, and we can assume that it is since no function has been given.
The charge density would then be:
$\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{Ed}{d}=\varepsilon_0E\\
\sigma= 8.85\cdot10^{-12}\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^6= 0.0000185\frac{c}{m^2}$
Please note that elecric permittivity of air is very close to elecric permittivity of vacum, it is common to use them interchangeably.
