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

1 answer:

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.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 750 m/h at a heading of 51.3°. The veloci

abruzzese [7]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

In 2.4 hours, the distance traveled by the first airplane heading a 51.3° at 750 mph is
a = 750*2.4 = 1800 miles.

The second airplane travels
b = 620*2.4 = 1488 mile

The angle between the two airplanes is
163° - 51.3° = 111.7°

Let c = the distance between the two airplanes after 2.4 hours.
From the Law of Cosines, obtain
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(111.7°)
= 3.24 x 10⁶ + 2.2141 x 10⁶
c = 2335.41 miles

Answer: 2335.4 miles

Naily [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall show all given data in vector form and calculate the direction of force with the help of following formula

force F = q ( v x B )

q is charge , v is velocity and B is magnetic field.

Given B = - Bk ( i is right , j is upwards and k is straight up the page )

v = v j

F = q ( vj x - Bk )

= -Bqvi

The direction is towards left .

a ) If velocity is down

v = - v j

F = q ( - vj x - bk )

= qvB i

Direction is right .

b ) v = v i

F = q ( vi x - Bk )

= qvB j

force is upwards

c ) v = - vi

F = q ( -vi x - Bk )

= -qvBj

force is downwards

d ) v = - v k

F = q( - vk x -Bk )

= 0

No force will be created

e ) v = v k

F = q( vk x -Bk )

= 0

No force will be created

How is the independent variable affected by the dependent variable

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

A dependent variable is a variable that is tested in an experiment. An independent variable is that can be modified. Depending on what you are testing, the dependent variable will change accordingly to the dependent variable.

An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th

zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity ( $\rho$ ), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

In this case, we have $L'=138L$ , $\rho'=\rho$ and $A'=A$ . So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

$R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega$
