What causes the random, zig-zag movement (Brownian motion) of smoke particles suspended in air?​

Physics
1 answer:
lidiya [134]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

It is caused by air molecules colliding with smoke particles

Explanation:

To start with, Brownian motion is the erratic or irregular movement of very small particles in a medium due to continuous bombardment by molecules that surround the medium.

Thus, smoke moves in a Zig-Zag manner (Brownian motion) due to continious air bombardment. If it were pollen grain suspended in water, the erratic movement (Brownian motion) of the grains is caused by bombardment from water molecules.

A railroad track and a road cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road and watches an eastbound train traveling at 60
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m

Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:

y(t) = 60t

Now,

To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:

Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:

z(t) = \sqrt{x^{2} + y(t)^{2}}

z(t) = \sqrt{70^{2} + 60t^{2}}

Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 2t\times 3600

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600t

For t = 4 s:

\frac{dz(4)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600\times 4^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600\times 4 = 57.6\ m/s

why is a train more difficult to stop then a rolling ball even if they are traveling at the same speed? URGENT
zloy xaker [14]
Think of the formula force=mass x acceleration. even though they have the same acceleration, a train has more mass. is that helpful?

Why does a balloon filled with the air from your lungs sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats ?
hoa [83]

Helium is lighter than air from the lungs.

Explanation:

A balloon filled with the air from lungs will sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats because helium is lighter than air.

Air is a mixture of many gases.

The air from the lungs is predominantly made up of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

  • Gram per mole of carbon dioxide is 44. Water vapor is 18.
  • Compared to helium which is 4, we see that the gas is lighter.
  • Since the gas is lighter, it will float in air.
  • The main component of air around us is nitrogen gas with a gram per mole of 28.
  • A balloon filled with more of air from the lungs weigh more than that will filled air around and even far more than helium gas.
  • This will cause a helium filled balloon to float.

For a top player, a tennis ball may leave the racket on the serve with a speed of 55 m/s (about 120 mi/h). If the ball has a mas
inn [45]

Answer:

Yes is large enough

Explanation:

We need to apply the second Newton's Law to find the solution.

We know that,

F= ma

And we know as well that

a= \frac{v}{t}

Replacing the aceleration value in the equation force we have,

F= \frac{mv}{t}

Substituting our values we have,

F= \frac{(0.060)(55)}{4*10^{-3}}

F=825N

The weight of the person is then,

W = mg

W = (60)(9.8) = 558N

<em>We can conclude that force on the ball is large to lift the ball</em>
