- Aromatic molecules like those in perfume have a diffusion coefficient in air of approximately 2×10−5m2/s2×10−5m2/s. Part A Estimate, to one significant figure, how many hours it takes perfume to diffuse 2.5 mm, about 6.5 ftft, in still air. Express your answer in hours to one significant figure.arrow_forwardRocket Science: CH 83. A rocket of mass M moving at speed v ejects an infinitesimal mass dm out its exhaust nozzle at speed vex. (a) Show that con- servation of momentum implies that M dy = vex dm, where dy is the change in the rocket's speed. (b) Integrate this equation from some initial speed v; and mass M; to a final speed vf and mass Mf Vf to show that the rocket's final velocity is given by the expression V₁ = V¡ + Vex ln(M¡/M₁).arrow_forwardFormant Freqmcy The horizontal dotted lines represent the formants.

- Shrinking Loop. A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 161 cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant rate of 15.0 cm/s due to a tangential pull on the wire. The loop is in a constant uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 T , which is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Assume that you are facing the loop and that the magnetic field points into the loop. Find the magnitude of the emf E induced in the loop after exactly time 9.00 s has passed since the circumference of the loop started to decrease. Find the direction of the induced current in the loop as viewed looking along the direction of the magnetic field.
