Answer:

γ = 0.06563 N / m

9.78% difference

Explanation:

Solution:-

- Surface tension is the ability of any fluid to resist any external force which causes a decreases in surface area of the impact area due to inward compressive forces. These compressive forces occur due to cohesive nature of the fluid molecules.

- Mathematically, surface tension ( γ ) is defined as the force felt per unit length by the fluid.

                           γ = F / L

Where,

              F: Force imparted

              L: The length over which force is felt

- We are given the mass ( M ) of ( n = 100 ) water droplets to e 3.78 g. The mass of a single droplet ( m ) can be evaluated as follows:

                         m = M / n

                         m = 3.78 / 100

                        m = 0.0378 g        

- The force ( F ) imparted by a single drop of water from the burette can be determined from the force balance on a single droplet. Assuming the distance over which the drop falls is negligible and resistive forces are negligible. Then the only force acting on the droplet is due to gravity:

                        F = m*g

                        F = 0.0378*9.81*10^-3

                        F = 0.000370818 N      

- The length over which the force is felt can be magnified into a circular area with diameter equal to that of a single droplet ( d ). The circumferential length ( L ) of the droplet would be as follows:

                        L = π*d

                        L = π*( 0.0018 )

                        L = 0.00565 m

- Then the surface tension would be:

                        γ = F / L

                        γ = 0.000370818 / 0.00565

                        γ = 0.06563 N / m

- The tabulated value of water's surface tension is given as follows:

                       γa = 0.07275 N/m

- We will determine the percentage difference between the value evaluated  and tabulated value as follows:

                     p.diff = \frac{gamma_a - gamma}{gamma_a} * 100\\\\p.diff = \frac{0.07275- 0.06563}{0.07275} * 100 \\\\p.diff = 9.78 %

- The %difference between is within the allowable practical limits of 10%. Hence, the evaluated value ( γ = 0.06563 N / m ) can be accepted with 9.78% error.

A T-shirt cannon can shoot a 0.085 kg T-shirt at nearly 30 m/s. The T-shirt cannon has a mass of 33 kg. If the initial net momen
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Approximately 0.077\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} (assuming that external forces on the cannon are negligible.)

Explanation:

If an object of mass m is moving at a velocity of v, the momentum p of that object would be p = m\, v.

Momentum of the t-shirt:

\begin{aligned} p(\text{t-shirt}) &= m(\text{t-shirt}) \, v(\text{t-shirt}) \\ &= 0.085\; {\rm kg} \times 30\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} \\ &= 2.55 \; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}} \end{aligned}.

If there is no external force (gravity, friction, etc.) on this cannon, the total momentum of this system should be conserved. In other words, if p(\text{cannon}) denote the momentum of this cannon:

p(\text{t-shirt}) + p(\text{cannon}) = 0.

p(\text{cannon}) = -p(\text{t-shirt}) = -2.55\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Rewrite p = m\, v to obtain v = (p / m). Since the mass of this cannon is m(\text{cannon}) = 33\; {\rm kg}, the velocity of this cannon would be:

\begin{aligned} v(\text{cannon}) &= \frac{p(\text{cannon})}{m(\text{cannon})} \\ &= \frac{-2.55\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{33\; {\rm kg}} \\ &\approx 0.077\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Which statement about motor development is true?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

(a) Motor skills are interrelated.

Explanation:

As per the question,

<u>Motor development:</u>

It is defined as the development of movement abilities such as the development of a child's bones, muscles and ability to move around and manipulate his or her environment.

Importance of a Motor Development Model  are:

(1) Helps us make sense of developmental changes

(2) Provides a framework for observing the change

(3) Helps us include important factors of motor behavior in our observations.

Hence, Only option (a) is correct.

shusha [124]

Answer:

19.99 kg m²/s

Explanation:

Angular Momentum (L) is defined as the product of the moment of Inertia (I) and angular velocity (w)

L = m r × v.

r and  v are perpendicular to each other,

where r = lsinθ.

l = 2.4 m

θ= 34°

g = 9.8 m/s²  and m = 5 kg

resolving using newtons second law in the vertical and horizontal components.

T cos θ − m g = 0

T sin θ − mw² lsin θ = 0

where T is the force with which the wire acts on the bob

w = √g / lcosθ

= √ 9.8 / 2.4 ×cos 34

= 2.2193 rad/s

the angular momentum  L = mr× v

= mw (lsin θ)²

= 5 × 2.2193 (2.4 ×sin 34°)²

=19.99 kg m²/s
