Explain, using the particle theory of matter, how diffusion takes place.

Physics
1 answer:
marusya05 [52]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation: When a pure substance's particle is moving from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration by occupying the spaces between the particles of another substance it is mixing or diffusing with. The particles of both the substances will mix or diffuse faster when the temperature is high.

How does a plane mirror work
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Plane mirrors work because the light rays create a virtual image behind the mirror. Light rays from the object strike the mirror and reflect according to the law of reflection. ... Therefore, our eye and brain track the light rays backward to a position from which they appear to have come.

An object is launched at a velocity of 20 m/s in a direction making an angle of 25° upward with the horizontal.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(a) max. height = 3.641 m

(b) flight time = 1.723 s

(c) horizontal range = 31.235 m

(d) impact velocity = 20 m/s

Above values have been given to third decimal.  Adjust significant figures to suit accuracy required.

Explanation:

This problem requires the use of kinematics equations

v1^2-v0^2=2aS .............(1)

v1.t + at^2/2 = S ............(2)

where

v0=initial velocity

v1=final velocity

a=acceleration

S=distance travelled

SI units and degrees will be used throughout

Let

theta = angle of elevation = 25 degrees above horizontal

v=initial velocity at 25 degrees elevation in m/s

a = g = -9.81 = acceleration due to gravity (downwards)

(a) Maximum height

Consider vertical direction,

v0 = v sin(theta) = 8.452 m/s

To find maximum height, we find the distance travelled when vertical velocity = 0, i.e. v1=0,

solve for S in equation (1)

v1^2 - v0^2 = 2aS

S = (v1^2-v0^2)/2g = (0-8.452^2)/(2*(-9.81)) = 3.641 m/s

(b) total flight time

We solve for the time t when the vertical height of the object is AGAIN = 0.

Using equation (2) for vertical direction,

v0*t + at^2/2 = S    substitute values

8.452*t + (-9.81)t^2 = 3.641

Solve for t in the above quadratic equation to get t=0, or t=1.723 s.

So time for the flight = 1.723 s

(c) Horiontal range

We know the horizontal velocity is constant (neglect air resistance) at

vh = v*cos(theta) = 25*cos(25) = 18.126 m/s

Time of flight = 1.723 s

Horizontal range = 18.126 m/s * 1.723 s = 31.235 m

(d) Magnitude of object on hitting ground, Vfinal

By symmetry of the trajectory, Vfinal = v = 20, or

Vfinal = sqrt(v0^2+vh^2) = sqrt(8.452^2+18.126^2) = 20 m/s

A ball whose mass is 0.3 kg hits the floor with a speed of 5 m/s and rebounds upward with a speed of 2 m/s. If the ball was in c
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

1400 N

Explanation:

Change in momentum equals impulse which is a product of force and time

Change in momentum is given by m(v-u)

Equating this to impulse formula then

m(v-u)=Ft

Making F the subject of the formula then

F=\frac {m(v-u)}{t}

Take upward direction as positive then downwards is negative

Substituting m with 0.3 kg, v with 2 m/s, and u with -5 m/s and t with 0.0015 s then

F=\frac {0.3(2--5)}{0.0015}=1400N

A solid nonconducting sphere of radius R has a charge Q uniformly distributed throughout its volume. A Gaussian surface of radiu
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1. E x 4πr² = ( Q x r³) / ( R³ x ε₀ )

Explanation:

According to the problem, Q is the charge on the non conducting sphere of radius R. Let ρ be the volume charge density of the non conducting sphere.

As shown in the figure, let r be the radius of the sphere inside the bigger non conducting sphere. Hence, the charge on the sphere of radius r is :

Q₁ = ∫ ρ dV

Here dV is the volume element of sphere of radius r.

Q₁ = ρ x 4π x ∫ r² dr

The limit of integration is from 0 to r as r is less than R.

Q₁ = (4π x ρ x r³ )/3

But volume charge density, ρ = \frac{3Q}{4\pi R^{3} }

So, Q_{1} = \frac{Qr^{3} }{R^{3} }

Applying Gauss law of electrostatics ;

∫ E ds = Q₁/ε₀

Here E is electric field inside the sphere and ds is surface element of sphere of radius r.

Substitute the value of Q₁ in the above equation. Hence,

E x 4πr² = ( Q x r³) / ( R³ x ε₀ )

A dog has a mass of 20 kg. If the dog is pushed across the ice with a force of 40 N, what is its acceleration?
olasank [31]

Answer:

The acceleration is 2 m/s2.

Explanation:

We calculate the acceleration (a), with the data of mass (m) and force (F), through the formula:

F = m x a  ---> a= F/m

a = 40 N/20 kg                   <em>  1N= 1 kg x m/s2</em>

a= 40 kgx m/s2/ 20 kg

<em>a= 2 m/s2</em>
