Smell spreads due to diffusion. In hot food the molecules have a lot of kinetic energy , and they therefore spread fast , whereas in cold food the kinetic energy of the molecules are less and they don't spread far.

Answer: The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you several metres away, but to get the smell from cold food you have to go close because the kinetic energy of the particles of matter increases with the increase in temperature. In cold foods, kinetic energy is less while in hot foods, kinetic energy is more

In an elastic head-on collision, a 0.60 kg cart moving at 5.0 m/s [W] collides with a 0.80 kg cart moving at 2.0 m/s [E]. The co

labwork [276]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity. Given that:

$m_1=0.6kg,u_1=-5m/s(moving \ west),m_2=0.8kg,u_2=2m/s,k=1200N/m$

The final velocity of cart 1 after collision is given as:

$v_1=(\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2})u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\ Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.6-0.8}{0.6+0.8} (-5)+\frac{2*0.8}{0.6+0.8}(2)= 5/7+16/7=3\ m/s$

The final velocity of cart 2 after collision is given as:

$v_2=(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})u_2+\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1\\ Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.8-0.6}{0.6+0.8} (2)+\frac{2*0.6}{0.6+0.8}(-5)= 2/7-30/7=-4\ m/s$

b) Using the law of conservation of energy:

$\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1+ \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\x=\sqrt{\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{k}}\\ Substituting\ gives:\\x=\sqrt{\frac{0.6*(-5)^2+0.8*2^2-(0.6*3^2)-(0.8*(-4)^2)}{1200}}=\sqrt{0}=0\ cm$

Liam throws a water balloon horizontally at 8.2 m/s out of a window 18 m from the ground.

Alecsey [184]

Time taken by the water balloon to reach the bottom will be given as

$h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

here we know that

$h = 18 m$

$g = 9.8 m/s^2$

now by the above formula

$18 = \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2$

$18 = 4.9 t^2$

$t = 1.92 s$

now in the same time interval we can say the distance moved by it will be

$d = v_x * t$

$d = 8.2 * 1.92 = 15.7 m$

so it will fall at a distance 15.7 m from its initial position

How do vafiations in electronegativity result in the unequal sharign of electrons in polar molecuels?

nirvana33 [79]

Answer and Explanation:

Polar molecules are formed as a result of unequal sharing of electrons by the atoms in the molecule which creates polarization like that in water molecule.

If the electrons are shared equally by the atoms in the molecule then there won't be any polarization of the molecule and the molecule is non polar.

Electro-negativity is that property of an atom which lets it attract negative charges, i.e., electrons. The more the electro-negativity of an atom in the molecule the more are the chances of its polarization.
