<h2>Answer:</h2>

Correct option is A.

a. Molecules in a gas move faster than in a liquid.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Energy from the sun affect the motion of molecules in a gas compared to molecules in a liquid such as that molecules in a gas move faster than in a liquid. So, first option is correct.

A student has made the statement that the electric flux through one half of a Gaussian surface is always equal and opposite to t

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

E.true only when no charge is enclosed within the Gaussian surface.

Explanation:

Because Gauss’s law states that the net flux of an electric field in a closed surface is directly proportional to the enclosed electric charge.

Why is the following situation impossible? Two identical dust particles of mass 1.00 µg are floating in empty space, far from an

Igoryamba

Answer:

This is a conceptual problem so I will try my best to explain the impossible scenario. First of all the two dust particles ara virtually exempt from any external forces and at rest with respect to each other. This could theoretically happen even if it's difficult for that to happen. The problem is that each of the particles have an electric charge which are equal in magnitude and sign. Thus each particle should feel the presence of the other via a force. The forces felt by the particles are equal and opposite facing away from each other so both charges have a net acceleration according to Newton's second law because of the presence of a force in each particle:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

Having seen Newton's second law it should be clear that the particles are actually moving away from each other and will not remain at rest with respect to each other. This is in contradiction with the last statement in the problem.

A 1.50-m cylinder of radius 1.10 cm is made of a complicated mixture of materials. Its resistivity depends on the distance x fro

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Resistance = 3.35* $10^{-4}$ Ω

Explanation:

Since resistance R = ρ $\frac{L}{A}$

whereas $\rho(x) = a + bx^2$

resistivity is given for two ends. At the left end resistivity is $2.25* 10^{-8}$ whereas x at the left end will be 0 as distance is zero. Thus

$2.25*10^{-8} = a + b(0)^2\\ 2.25*10^{-8} = a + 0 \\2.25*10^{-8} = a$

At the right end x will be equal to the length of the rod, so $x = 1.50\\8.50*10^{-8} = (2.25*10^{-8}) + ( b* (1.50)^2 )\\8.50*10^{-8} - (2.25*10^{-8}) = b*2.25\\\frac{6.25*10^{-8}}{2.25} = b\\b = 2.77 *10^{-8}$

Thus resistance will be R = ρ $\frac{L}{A}$

where A = π $r^2$

so,

$R = \frac{8.50*10^{-8} * 1.50}{3.14*(1.10*10^{-2})^2} \\R=3.35 * 10 ^{-4}$

The value of specific heat for copper is 390 J/kg⋅C∘, for aluminun is 900 J/kg⋅C∘, and for water is 4186 J/kg⋅C∘.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature is

21.97°c

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the heat capacity of materials

Given data

specific heat capacities

copper is Cc =390 J/kg⋅C∘,

aluminun Ca = 900 J/kg⋅C∘,

water Cw = 4186 J/kg⋅C∘.

Mass of substances

Copper Mc = 235g

Aluminum Ma = 135g

Water Mw = 825g

Temperatures

Copper θc = 255°c

Water and aluminum calorimeter θ1= 16°c

Equilibrium temperature θf =?

Applying the principle of conservation of heat energy, heat loss by copper equal heat gained by aluminum calorimeter and water

McCc(θc-θf) =(MaCa+MwCw)(θf-θ1)

Substituting our data into the expression we have

235*390(255-θf)=

(135*900+825*4186)(θf-16)

91650(255-θf)=(3574950)(θf-16)

23.37*10^6-91650*θf=3.57*10^6θf- +57.2*10^6

Collecting like terms and rearranging

23.37*10^6+57.2*10^6=3.57*10^6θf+91650θf

8.2*10^6=3.66*10^6θf

θf=80.5*10^6/3.6*10^6

θf =21.97°c

List some reasons why growth characteristics are more useful on agar plates than on agar slants

SpyIntel [72]

Usually, in culturing of the bacteria we have a slant and then portion f it is transferred to the agar plate. The growth characteristics are more useful in the agar plates because it is where we really do the observation because bacteria in slants are still to be transferred in the agar plates.
