True!

hope this helps

This is true .

an atom is the smallest ( i think ) thing in the world , so it’s impossible for it to be wider than hair .

Th e molar absorption coeffi cient of a substance dissolved in water is known to be 855 dm3 mol−1 cm−1 at 270 nm. To determine t

Olegator [25]

Answer : The percentage reduction in intensity is 79.80 %

Explanation :

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

$A=\epsilon \times C\times l$

$A=\log \frac{I_o}{I}$

$\log \frac{I_o}{I}=\epsilon \times C\times l$

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution = $3.25mmol.dm^{3-}=3.25\times 10^{-3}mol.dm^{-3}$

l = path length = 2.5 mm = 0.25 cm

$I_o$ = incident light

$I$ = transmitted light

$\epsilon$ = molar absorptivity coefficient = $855dm^3mol^{-1}cm^{-1}$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\log \frac{I_o}{I}=(855dm^3mol^{-1}cm^{-1})\times (3.25\times 10^{-3}mol.dm^{-3})\times (0.25cm)$

$\log \frac{I_o}{I}=0.6947$

$\frac{I_o}{I}=10^{0.6947}=4.951$

If we consider $I_o$ = 100

then, $I=\frac{100}{4.951}=20.198$

Here 'I' intensity of transmitted light = 20.198

Thus, the intensity of absorbed light $I_A$ = 100 - 20.198 = 79.80

Now we have to calculate the percentage reduction in intensity.

$\% \text{reduction in intensity}=\frac{I_A}{I_o}\times 100$

$\% \text{reduction in intensity}=\frac{79.80}{100}\times 100=79.80\%$

Therefore, the percentage reduction in intensity is 79.80 %

Which would exert more pressure on the floor, a 100kg man wearing snow shoes or a 60kg woman wearing high heels? PLEASE EXPLAIN

iris [78.8K]

Pressure can be defined as the force acting on a perpendicular surface per unit area.

Force exerted by a man of mass 100 kg wearing snow shoes = m.a

Where m = mass of the man = 100 kg

a = acceleration due to gravity= 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

Force exerted by the man of mass 100 kg = $100 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 980 N$

Force exerted by woman of mass 60 kg = $60 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 588 N$

Force exerted by 100 kg man is greater than that exerted as 60 kg woman. The area on which this force is acting determines the pressure. Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which the force acts. Therefore, the pressure exerted by 100 kg man wearing snow shoes is less than the pressure exerted by a 60 kg woman woman wearing high heels as the force acts over a larger area when the man wears snow shoes when compared to the force exerted over a smaller area in case of the woman wearing high heels.

Explain why constructive and destructive forces are considered competing forces.

rodikova [14]

Used mainly in the context of Geography a Constructive force is involved in making new land while a Destructive force breaks the land. As they are carrying opposite functions to one another they are considered as competing forces.
