The vapor pressure of a liquid is a measure of how much vapor of a liquid sits in the air above the liquid in a closed container

. So, for example, a steam room has a very high vapor pressure of water. Do you think a substance that has weaker forces between molecules would in general have a greater or lesser vapor pressure than a substance with stronger forces between the molecules? For example, compare isopropyl alcohol and water.

Answer: When the isopropyl alcohol was boiled, it quickly boiled away. The water ALSO boiled away, but the alcohol was quicker. Isopropyl alcohol had a high vapor pressure because it boiled away very fast, and isopropyl alcohol had strong forces between its molecules (seen with the surface tension experiment.) The water boiled away slower, and had weaker forces between its molecules. So, the stronger the forces, the higher the vapor pressure

The speed of light in space is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. The time for light from the sun to reach earth is 8mins and 20 seconds. Therefor
just olya [345]

Answer:

C. 1.50×10¹¹ m

Explanation:

First, convert the time to seconds.

8 min × (60 s/min) + 20 s = 500 s

Distance = speed × time

d = (3×10⁸ m/s) (500 s)

d = 1.50×10¹¹ m

Find the ratio of the diameter of aluminium to copper wire, if they have the same
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

1.24

Explanation:

The resistivity of copper\rho_1=2.65\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

The resistivity of Aluminum,\rho_2=1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

The wires have same resistance per unit length.

The resistance of a wire is given by :

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}\\\\R=\rho \dfrac{l}{\pi (\dfrac{d}{2})^2}\\\\\dfrac{R}{l}=\rho \dfrac{1}{\pi (\dfrac{d}{2})^2}

According to given condition,

\rho_1 \dfrac{1}{\pi (\dfrac{d_1}{2})^2}=\rho_2 \dfrac{1}{\pi (\dfrac{d_2}{2})^2}\\\\\rho_1 \dfrac{1}{{d_1}^2}=\rho_2 \dfrac{1}{{d_2}^2}\\\\(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1})^2=\dfrac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}\\\\\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}}\\\\\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.65\times 10^{-8}}{1.72\times 10^{-8}}}\\\\=1.24

So, the required ratio of the diameter of Aluminum to Copper wire is 1.24.

An earthquake produces longitudinal P waves that travel outward at 8000 m/s and transverse S waves that move at 4500 m/s. A seis
vivado [14]

Answer:

1234285.7 m or 1234.3 km

Explanation:

Let the distance be d, the time taken by P waves be t_P and the time taken by the S waves be t_S.

\text{Velocity}\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

\text{Time}\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Velocity}}

For the P waves,

t_P=\dfrac{d}{8000}

d=8000t_P

For the S waves,

t_S=\dfrac{d}{4500}

d=4500t_S

Equating the d,

8000t_P=4500t_S

Divide both sides of the equation by 500 to reduce the terms.

16t_P=9t_S

Since S waves arrive 2 minutes (= 120 seconds) after P waves,

t_S-t_P=120

t_S=120+t_P

Substitute this in the equation of the distance.

16t_P=9(t_P+120)

16t_P=9t_P+1080

7t_P=1080

t_P=\dfrac{1080}{7}

Substitute this in the equation for d involving t_P.

d=8000t_P

d=8000\times\dfrac{1080}{7}

d=1234285.7 \text{ m }= 1234.3 \text{ km}

The maximum torque on a set of 20 square loops with edge lengths of 6 cm in a 4.0 T magnetic field is:A) 0.288 N-m.B) 4.8 N-m.C)
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

option (D

Explanation:

Torque is given by

torque = N x i x A x B x sinФ

where, N is number of turns, A is area, b is the magnetic field and Ф be the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector, i be the current.

So, torque depends on the current.

option (D)
