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.

What are the top two gasses in the earth’s atmosphere ?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Nitrogen and oxygen are by far the most common; dry air is composed of about 78% nitrogen (N2) and about 21% oxygen (O2). Argon, carbon dioxide (CO2), and many other gases are also present in much lower amounts; each makes up less than 1% of the atmosphere's mixture of gases.

You’ve made the hypothesis that the stepper the slope , the faster a ball will be rolling when it reaches the bottom .
BigorU [14]

Answer:

B) how steep the slope is

Explanation:

Because you have to know how is the influence of the steep of the slope in the time that a ball reaches the bottom. The steep of the slope is the variable that you would have to change in an experiment.

I hope this is useful for you

tangare [24]

Answer:

  • <u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>

Explanation:

For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf

  • Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2

Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:

  • Average speed = distance / time

Then:

  • (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:

  • Vf = Vi + a×t

Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)

Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:

From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s

  • Vf + Vi = 90.634      equation 1

From Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)

  • Vf - Vi = 64.876     equation 2

Adding the two equations:

  • 2Vf = 155.510

  • Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)
