Answer:

Approximately 5.9\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} (assuming that the partner is holding the other end of the coil stationary.)

Explanation:

In a standing wave, an antinode is a point that moves with maximal amplitude, while a node is a point that does not move at all. There is an antinode between every two adjacent nodes. Likewise, there is a node between every two adjacent antinodes.

The side of the spring that is being shaken moving with maximal amplitude. Hence, that point on this spring would also be an antinode. In contrast, the side of the spring that is held still (does not move at all) would be a node.

There would be a node between:

  • the antinode at the end of the spring that is being shaken, and
  • the antinode between the two ends of this spring.

Overall, the nodes and antinodes on this spring would be:

  • node at the end that is being held still,
  • antinode (as mentioned in the question),
  • node (inferred, not mentioned in the question), and
  • antinode at the end that is being shaken.

The distance between two adjacent nodes is equal to one-half (that is, (1/2)) the wavelength of the wave. The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is one-quarter (that is, (1/4)) of the wavelength of the wave.

Thus, if the wavelength of the wave in this question is \lambda, the length of this spring would be:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \lambda + \frac{1}{4}\, \lambda = \frac{3}{4}\, \lambda.

The question states that the length of this coiled spring is 7.2\; {\rm m}. In other words, (3/4) \, \lambda = 7.2\; {\rm m}. The wavelength of this wave would be (7.2\; {\rm m}) / (3/4) = 9.6\; {\rm m}.

The frequency f of this wave is the number of cycles in unit time:

\begin{aligned} f &= \frac{10}{16.3\; {\rm s}} \approx 0.613\; {\rm s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Hence, the speed v of this wave would be:

\begin{aligned} v &= \lambda\, f \\ &=9.6\; {\rm m} \times 0.613\; {\rm s^{-1}} \\ &\approx 5.9\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

A food department is kept at â12°c by a refrigerator in an environment at 30°c. the total heat gain to the food department is
slava [35]

As per energy conservation in the reversible engine we can say

Q_2 + W = Q_1

here we know that

Q_2 = 3300 kJ/h

Q_1 = 4800 kJ/h

now from above equation

3300 + W = 4800

W = 1500 kJ/h

now we can convert it into kW

W = 1500\times \frac{kJ}{3600s}

W = 0.42 kW

so above is the power input to the refrigerator

now to find COP we know that

COP = \frac{Q_2}{W}

COP = \frac{3300}{1500} = 2.2

so COP of refrigerator is 2.2

I neeed help im so comfused Points Possible: 1, Points Correct: 0 Which group of numbers is listed from greatest to least? -3, -
Alona [7]

The groups aren't well formatted ;

The groups are ;

(-3, -1, 0, 2, 7) ; (9, 7, 6, -5, -4) ; (8, -6, 5, -4, 1) ; (-3, -4, -7, -8, -9)

Answer:

(-3, -4, -7, -8, -9)

Explanation:

Given the following group of numbers :

Evaluating each group of values for which is correctly arranged from greatest to least.

(-3, -1, 0, 2, 7) : - 1 is greater than - 3 (the group isn't arranged from greatest to least)

(9, 7, 6, -5, -4) : - 4 is greater than - 5 ; hence, the group isn't arranged from greatest to least

(8, -6, 5, -4, 1) : 5 is greater than - 6 ; hence, the group isn't arranged from greatest to least

(-3, -4, -7, -8, -9) ; the group of numbers here is arranged from greatest to least ;

(-3 > -4 > -7 > -8 > -9) ; hence, the correct group

A thin glass rod is submerged in oil. What is the critical angle for light traveling inside the rod? The index of refraction for
Alekssandra [29.7K]
When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle of incidence above which light is reflected only (no refraction occurs), and the value of this critical angle is given by
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.

In this problem, the first medium is the glass (n_1 = 1.50), while the second medium is oil (n_2 =1.46), therefore the critical angle is given by
\theta_c = \arcsin( \frac{1.46}{1.50} )=\arcsin(0.973)=76.7^{\circ}
