MArishka [77]3 years ago

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

If "38 %" of the light passes through this combination of filters, what is the angle between the transmission axes of the filter
qaws [65]

Answer:

<em>52°</em>

Explanation:

The initial intensity I_{0} = I

The final intensity I_{f} = 38% of I = 0.38

From the polarizing equation

I_{f} = I_{0} cos^{2}θ

substituting values, we have

0.38I = I cos^{2}θ

0.38 = cos^2θ

cosθ = \sqrt{0.38}

cosθ = 0.6164

θ = cos^{-1} 0.6164

θ = 51.9 ≅ <em>52°</em>

From a height of 40.0 m, a 1.00 kg bird dives (from rest) into a small fish tank containing 50.5 kg of water. Part A What is the
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

0.00185 °C

Explanation:

From the question,

The potential energy of the bird = heat gained by the water in the fish tank.

mgh = cm'(Δt)................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the bird, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, c = specific heat capacity of water, m' = mass of water, Δt = rise in temperature of water.

make Δt the subject of the equation

Δt = mgh/cm'............... Equation 2

Given: m = 1 kg, h = 40 m, m' = 50.5 kg

constant: g = 9.8 m/s², c = 4200 J/kg.K

Substitute into equation 2

Δt = 1(40)(9.8)/(50.5×4200)

Δt = 392/212100

Δt = 0.00185 °C
