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

Physics
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 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.

An electric iron has a rating of 750w and 220v then calculate the current flowing through it and the resistance
Zolol [24]
Watt = voltage x ampere
750 = 220 x ampere
Ampere = 750 / 220
Resistance = voltage / ampere
= 220^2 / 750

A 18.4-kg box rests on a frictionless ramp with a 16.1° slope. The mover pulls on a rope attached to the box to pull it up the i
laiz [17]

Answer:

F= 56,1 N :

Explanation:

We apply Newton's first law for balancing forces system.

We take the x axis in the direction of the ramp with a 16.1° slope.

∑Fx= 0

∑Fx: algebraic sum of forces ( + to the right, - to the left)  

Problem development:

Look at the free body diagram :

The only forces that act on the box are the weight and tension of the rope because there is no friction.

T: Rope tension (N)

W :Box weight (N)

∑Fx= 0

Tx-Wx=0

Tx =Tcos( 43.2°- 16.1°)= Tcos ( 27.1°)

Wx= W*sen  16.1°= m*g*sen  16.1°=18.4*9.8* sen  16.1° = 50N

Tcos ( 27.1°)-50=0

Tcos ( 27.1°) = 50

T = (50) / (cos ( 27.1°))

T = 56,1 N

T=F= 56,1 N

For the sun, which is the final step in core fusion?
Marina86 [1]
The answer would be stage of<span> conversion of Hydrogen to Helium.
At the end of this phase, the helium content of the suns will have the popping effect where more and more helium is now on the core resulting to higher temp and density as helium converted from hydrogen is much heavier.</span>

What is meant by the ground state of an atom?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Let's start by explaining that each atom in its natural state has a specific structure of its energy levels. Where the lowest energy level is called the ground state.

At this level, as long as no energy is communicated to the atom, the electron will remain in the ground state.

What does this mean?

When an atom is in its ground state, its electrons fill the lower energy orbitals completely before they begin to occupy higher energy orbitals.
