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 electrician must decide between 3 heaters. The wire that she is using is rated 15A maximum, anything beyond that is a fire ha
lutik1710 [3]
Use the formula: P=IV, where P is power (watts), I is current (amperes) and V is potential difference (volts).

For the first heater:
900W = I_{1}*120V
I_{1} = 7.5A


For the second heater:
1800W = I_{2}*120V
I_{2} = 15A


For the third heater:
3000W = I_{3}*240V
I_{3} = 12.5A

A normal blood pressure reading is less than 120/80 where both numbers are gauge pressures measured in millimeters of mercury (m
KIM [24]

The pressure value is given by the equation,

P= \rho gh

Where,

\rho represents the density of the liquid

g= gravity

h= Heigth

A) For the measurement of the guage pressure we have the data data,

\rho_{mercury} = 13.6*10^3kg/m^3

h=0.0930m

g=9.8m/s^2

Replacing we get,

P_g=\rho_{mercury}gh

[tex]P_g = (13.6*10^3)(9.8)(0.0930)P_g = 12395Pa[/tex]

In order to find the Absolute pressure, we perform a sum between the atmospheric pressure and that of the Gauge,

B) The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101325Pa, assuming ideal conditions, we will take this pressure for our calculation, so

P_T = P_a+P_g\\P_T = 101325Pa+12395Pa\\P_T = 113720Pa\\P_T = 113.7kPa
