Why do we add alcohol/ethanol to the leaf once it is boiled?

Physics
1 answer:
hichkok12 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Complete answer: We boil the leaf in alcohol when we are checking it for starch to eradicate chlorophyll, which is the green pigment present in leaves. ... Hence to dissolve the chlorophyll or the green pigment present in the leaf we boil the leaf in alcohol when we are testing it for starch.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

A thin taut string is fixed at both ends and stretched along the horizontal x-axis with its left end at x = 0. It is vibrating i
Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) Wavelength is 0.436 m

(b) Length is 0.872 m

(c) 11.518 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

The eqn of the displacement is given by:

y(x, t) = (1.22 cm)sin[14.4 m^{- 1}x]cos[(166\ rad/s)t]          (1)

n = 4

Now,

We know the standard eqn is given by:

y = AsinKxcos\omega t           (2)

Now, on comparing eqn (1) and (2):

A = 1.22 cm

K = 14.4 m^{- 1}

\omega = 166\ rad/s

where

A = Amplitude

K = Propagation constant

\omega = angular velocity

Now, to calculate the string's wavelength,

(a) K = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}

where

K = propagation vector

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{K}

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{14.4} = 0.436\ m

(b) The length of the string is given by:

l = \frac{n\lambda}{2}

l = \frac{4\times 0.436}{2} = 0.872\ m

(c)  Now, we first find the frequency of the wave:

\omega = 2\pi f

f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}

f = \frac{2\pi}{166} = 26.42\ Hz

Now,

Speed of the wave is given by:

v = f\lambda

v = 26.419\times 0.436 = 11.518\ m/s

A 5 kg mass is oscillating on a spring with a time period of 2.8 seconds. What is the spring constant k of the spring?
katrin [286]

Answer:

<em>k = 25.18 N/m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Simple Harmonic Oscillator</u>

It consists of a weight attached to one end of a spring being allowed to move forth and back.

If m is the mass of the weight and k is the constant of the spring, the period of the oscillation is given by:

\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {m}{k}}}

If the period is known, we can find the value of the constant by solving for k:

\displaystyle k=m\left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2

Substituting the given values m=5 Kg and T=2.8 seconds:

\displaystyle k=5 \left(\frac{2\pi}{2.8}\right)^2

k = 25.18 N/m

An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T,  by

\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

v = \omega A

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah

v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity (same as v above), a is acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

h = \dfrac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2a}

h = \dfrac{0^2 - 2.71^2}{2\times-9.81} = 0.37 \text{ m}
