Answer:

False

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The action-reaction pair act on different bodies. Thus, they do not cancel each other.

For example, in order to walk, we push the floor backwards. This is action force which the foot applies to the floor. The floor pushes the foot forward. This is the reaction force. The amount of force is equal but the direction is opposite. Also, the bodies on which action force and reaction force are acting are different.

Hence, the given statement is false.

Sometimes. If the forces are equal, they will cancel out and the net force will be zero. But if the forces are not equal, the object will move away from the stronger force because there is still a net force.

Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 11 mm thick. The concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.88 and 0.41

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The temperature is 2584.5 K

Explanation:

Given:

Activation energy $Q = 80000$ $\frac{J}{mol}$

Preexponential $D= 6.2 \times 10^{-7}$ $\frac{m^{2} }{s}$

Diffusion flux $J = 6.4 \times 10^{-10}$ $\frac{kg}{m^{2} s}$

Thickness of plate $\Delta x = 11 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Concentration of carbon at two faces $\Delta C = (0.88 - 0.41 ) = 0.47$ $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

From the formula of temperature in terms of diffusion flux,

$T = (\frac{Q}{R} ) \frac{1}{\ln (\frac{D\Delta C}{J\Delta x} )}$

Where $R =$ 8.314 $\frac{J}{mol.K}$ ( gas constant )

Put the values and find the temperature,

$T = (\frac{80000}{8.314} ) \frac{1}{\ln (\frac{6.2 \times 10^{-7} \times 0.47 }{6.4 \times 10^{-10}\times 11 \times 10^{-3} } )}$

$T = 2584.5$ K

Therefore, the temperature is 2584.5 K

A 0.89 m aqueous solution of an ionic compound with the formula mx has a freezing point of -3.0 ∘c . van't hoff factor?

BigorU [14]

Answer is: Van't Hoff factor (i) for this solution is 1,81.
Change in freezing point from pure solvent to solution: ΔT =i · Kf · b.
Kf - molal freezing-point depression constant for water is 1,86°C/m.
b - molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
b = 0,89 m.
ΔT = 3°C = 3 K.
i = 3°C ÷ (1,86 °C/m · 0,89 m).

i = 1,81.

A fluid in an aquifer is 23.6 m above a reference datum, the fluid pressure (in gage pressure) is 4390 n/m2 and the flow velocit

Phoenix [80]

As per Bernuolli's Theorem total energy per unit mass is given as

$\frac{P}{\rho} + \frac{1}{2}v^2 + gH = E$

now from above equation

$P = 4390 N/m^2$

$\rho = 0.999 * 10^3$

$v = 7.22 * 10^{-4} m/s$

$H = 23.6 m$

now by above equation

$\frac{4390}{0.999*10^3} + \frac{1}{2}*(7.22*10^{-4})^2 + 9.8*23.6 = E$

$E = 235.7 J/kg$

Part B)

Now energy per unit weight

$U = \frac{E}{g}$

$U = \frac{235.7}{9.8}$

$U = 24 m$

Describe a situation in your everyday life where you could use the scientific method. List all the steps of the scientific metho

emmainna [20.7K]

Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.

For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.

Observation (the state of defining a problem):

The car is not started

Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):

The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.

Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):

You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.

Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis

You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.

Draw conclusion:

The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.

Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.

Hope it helps!
