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 tennis ball (m=0.060 kg) is moving horizontally at 20 m/s toward a tennis player who hits it straight back at 26 m/s. What is
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0.36 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 0.06 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 20 m/s

Final velocity of the ball, v = 26 m/s

We need to find the change in momentum of the tennis ball. It is equal to the final momentum minus initial momentum

\Delta p=m(v-u)\\\\=0.06\times (26-20)\\\\=0.36\ kg-m/s

So, the change in momentum of the ball is 0.36 kg-m/s.

Find the GCF 12, 18, and 84
ahrayia [7]
To find the answer, plot down the factors for every number.

12:   1, 2 ,3 ,4, 6, 12

18:   1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

84:  1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12

If you noticed, the number that was common to the 3 numbers, were 1, 2, 3, and 6
And 6 is the bigger number
So 6 is your GCF
