621 Questions

Does higher mass cause liquids to freeze faster?

No.

Because, When water freezes there is no change of mass due to conservation of mass in any physical and chemical changes.

Why does a liquid curve around the edge of its container?

A liquid curves around the edge of its container due to a phenomenon known as surface tension. Surface tension is caused by the attraction between liquid molecules at the surface, creating a force that minimizes the surface area. This force pulls the liquid molecules together at the edges of the container, causing the curvature.

What is maintained at a constant height of 10 m in a tankcalculate the velocity of efflux?

In order to calculate that, we'd also need to know

  • the substance in the tank
  • the size and shape of the outlet
  • the height of the outlet above the floor of the tank.

How do you calculate drag coefficient when you are not given drag force?

You can calculate the drag coefficient by using the formula Cd = Fd / (0.5 * ρ * A * V^2), where Cd is the drag coefficient, Fd is the drag force, ρ is the air density, A is the reference area, and V is the velocity of the object. Given these values, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the drag coefficient.

How do you return honey to a liquid state?

Honey turning to sugar is called granulation and doesn't affect the taste or quality of the honey in any way. However, if you want to change it back to its original runny state, heat it gently, being careful not to boil it.
Just heat it up in the microwave, or in a pan of hot water on a stove.

How many feet would it take an eighty thousand pound tractor trailer going 50 miles per hour to stop?

It would take approximately 420 feet for an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer traveling at 50 miles per hour to come to a complete stop under ideal conditions. However, various factors such as road conditions, weather, and driver reaction time can affect the stopping distance.

What is the average radius of a field mouse?

The average body length of a field mouse is around 3 to 4 inches, so the average radius would be approximately 0.75 to 1 inch.

What is soret and dufour effect?

The Soret effect is the phenomenon where a temperature gradient causes a concentration gradient in a fluid mixture. The Dufour effect is the phenomenon where a concentration gradient causes a temperature gradient in a fluid mixture. Both effects are important in non-isothermal mass transport processes.

What are the advantages of a jackhammer?

Jackhammers are powerful tools that can break through tough materials like concrete and asphalt quickly and efficiently. They are versatile and can be used in various construction and demolition projects. Jackhammers are also easy to operate, making them ideal for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

When water molecules heat up and turn to steam the molecules begin to move?

When water molecules heat up and turn to steam, they gain energy and move more quickly, breaking the intermolecular bonds that hold them together as a liquid. This transition from liquid to gas is known as vaporization.

How much damage does a whirlpool cause?

The damage caused by a whirlpool can vary depending on its size and strength. In general, whirlpools can pull objects or individuals underwater, causing drowning or injury due to the force of the swirling water. It is important to avoid whirlpools and take precautions when near areas with strong currents.

What is the fluid in the alveoli called?

The fluid in the alveoli of the lungs is called pulmonary surfactant. It helps to reduce surface tension and prevent the alveoli from collapsing, allowing for efficient gas exchange during respiration.

How does displacement affect the speed of hydraulic motor?

Displacement is the measure of how much fluid it takes to turn the hydraulic motor shaft per revolution. It is typically expressed in cubic inches or cubic centimeters per revolution.

Given the same flow rate and pressure, a larger displacement motor will turn slower than a smaller displacement motor. A larger displacement motor will also produce higher torque than a smaller motor.

So as displacement increases, torque goes up and speed goes down. This makes sense as torque multiplied by speed equals horse power. For a same input horsepower (pressure times flow), if one value did not vary as the inverse of the other, the conservation of power would not be met.

What is the max lift coefficient of a F-18 hornet?

The F-18 Hornet has a maximum lift coefficient of around 2.5 in clean configuration.

Does toothpaste have high viscosity?

Toothpaste is a Liquid there are mant diffrent toothpastes but they are liquids because you can sqeeze it out of a tube but if it was a solid you couldnt get it out of the tube if any further qestions please just ask thankyou x

How does the air pressure change as the altitude increases?

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. Gravity causes the atmosphere to become heavier the closer you are to the ground. The atmosphere may seem weightless but all the air molecules add up to a tremendous amount of mass. If you think of the atmosphere like blankets, the more blankets you have piled on you the heavier they become, thus pressing down on your body more and more. This is the same in the atmosphere, where the higher the altitude, the less overlying atmosphere, the less pressure on air molecules. At higher altitudes the air molecules have more freedom to move around.

How do they keep water from flowing down the steep mountain side?

By making a water dam, so that water can't go down.

Dams and flumes prevent the rapid loss of this valuable resource: water is life. Live long, and well with water, from the well if necessary.

Would it be possible to drink from a straw a mile long?

Yes, but it would have to be tilted, almost flat. You can only drink through it

if your mouth is not more than 33 feet higher than the surface of the liquid

that you're drinking through the straw.

Why do gases get bigger and spread out?

because every particle is moving in a random direction and a speed determined by temperature. these particles will continue moving in this direction until they hit another particle or wall, they will then rebound and travel the opposite direction thus causing pressure.

Why would all the sugar not dissolve in a glass of tea?

In a Solution i.e your tea, only so much sugar can Dissolve. If you put loads of sugar into your tea, it can become a saturated solution. This means that the excess molecules of the sugar have no more room to dissolve into the tea, therefore it just sets at the bottom like sand.

More Information:

It is possible that enough sugar was added to the tea to saturate it, at which point no more sugar would dissolve, but that takes a lot of sugar. So, it is more likely that more time was needed for the sugar to dissolve. This process can be hastened by inverting the sugar (by adding a bit of lemon juice and/or corn syrup [glucose])

When a 10-N object is suspended at rest by two vertical strands of rope the tension in each rope is?

If the ropes are perfectly vertical AND both of them are indeed sharing the load,

then the tension in each rope is 5N. But it would be practically impossible to have

them exactly share the load, and one would wind up supporting most or all of it.

The best way to make them share is to use elastic ropes, like bungees. They still

would never share equally, but at least they would share. In any case, the

tensions in both support strands would always add up to 10N.

What do you mean by prime the line by opening air bleed valve V3?

"Priming the line by opening air bleed valve V3 means releasing any trapped air from the system to ensure proper flow of fluid through the line. This helps prevent air pockets that may cause inefficiencies or malfunctions in the system."

Why does pressure drop across a horizontal flow pipe?

Pressure drops across a horizontal flow pipe due to frictional losses caused by the roughness of the pipe walls and the viscosity of the fluid. As the fluid flows through the pipe, it experiences resistance, leading to a decrease in pressure along the pipe's length. Additionally, changes in elevation and fluid velocity can also contribute to pressure drops in a horizontal flow pipe.

Why total internal reflection takes place?

It happens when light travels through a material that has a greater "optical density" (refraction index, really) than a bordering material, and when it touches the surface at an angle that is sufficiently flat.

What will the final temperature be if 688 calories of heat is released by 25 mL of water with an initial temperature of 80 degrees celsius?

Do some converting first.

688 calories (4.184 Joules/1 calorie)

= 2878.592 Joules

25 ml of water = 25 grams

q(Jolules) = mass * specific heat * (Temp. final - Temp. initial)

2878.592 Joules = 25 grams Water * 4.180 J/gC * (Temp Final - 80C )

2878.592 Joiles = 104.5( Temp. Final) - 8360

11238.592 =104.5(Temp. Final)

107.55 Celsius Final Temperature ( call it 108 C )
