1 answer:
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:
- 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.

Answer:
a)n= 3.125 x electrons.
b)J= 1.515 x A/m²
c) =1.114 x
m/s
d) see explanation
Explanation:
Current 'I' = 5A =>5C/s
diameter 'd'= 2.05 x m
radius 'r' = d/2 => 1.025 x m
no. of electrons 'n'= 8.5 x
a) the amount of electrons pass through the light bulb each second can be determined by:
I= Q/t
Q= I x t => 5 x 1
Q= 5C
As we know that: Q= ne
where e is the charge of electron i.e 1.6 x C
n= Q/e => 5/ 1.6 x
n= 3.125 x electrons.
b) the current density 'J' in the wire is given by
J= I/A => I/πr²
J= 5 / (3.14 x (1.025x )²)
J= 1.515 x A/m²
c) The typical speed'' of an electron is given by:
=
=1.515 x / 8.5 x
x |-1.6 x
|
=1.114 x
m/s
d) According to these equations,
J= I/A
=
=
If you were to use wire of twice the diameter, the current density and drift speed will change
Increase in the diameter increase the cross sectional area and decreases the current density as it has inverse relation.
Also drift velocity will decrease as it is inversely proportional to the area
We can use the law of conservation of energy to solve the problem.
The total mechanical energy of the system at any moment of the motion is:
where U is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.
At the beginning of the motion, the ball starts from the ground so its altitude is h=0 and therefore its potential energy U is zero. So, the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:
When the ball reaches the maximum altitude of its flight, it starts to go down again, so its speed at that moment is zero: v=0. So, its kinetic energy at the top is zero. So the total mechanical energy is just potential energy:
But the mechanical energy must be conserved, Ef=Ei, so we have
and so, the potential energy at the top of the flight is
