Calculate time of solid passing through a liquid with the given values

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around estimating the time it takes for a 6g marble with a density of 3.4 to travel 5.8cm through a liquid with a density of 1.345 in a 200ml container. Participants suggest using Stokes' law to calculate the time, indicating that the problem resembles a typical homework question. There is a lighthearted acknowledgment of the nature of the inquiry, with one participant admitting to a relaxed attitude when first encountering the question. The conversation emphasizes the need for a workaround due to lost data from the Marble Race experiment. Overall, the focus remains on finding a method to estimate the marble's travel time through the liquid.

Summary:: We conducted the Marble Race experiment but the data of the time was lost. So I'm wondering if there's a workaround to at least put a rough estimate on it.

How long it would take for the marble that weights 6g with a density of 3.4 to cover a distance of 5.8cm passing through a liquid with 1.345 density in a 200ml container?

Google Stokes law.
 
This sounds like a homework problem. Is it?

Definitely homework like, somehow I was in a soft mood when I saw it in the morning ;)

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
