Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Which statement best describes how a wave would move differently through a pot of boiling water than the steam created from it? The wave would move faster through the water than through the steam. The wave would move slower through the water than through the steam. The wave would move the same speed through the water and the steam. The wave would move through the water and steam at the same speed, but decrease in speed at the transition point. "

Answer:

The wave would move faster through the water than through the steam.

Explanation:

As we already know, the water molecules at the moment when the water is boiling move very fast, due to the thermal energy that acts on them. This movement causes the mileculas to collide with each other quickly, for this reason we can observe that movement of the boiling water. This makes the wave movement in the boiling water fast.

On the other hand, all this movement is not seen in water vapor molecules, since the space between them is larger and there is no energy acting directly on them. For this reason, we can say that, through steam, the wave would not move with such speed.

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed 5.3 m/s and grabs a vine hanging vertically from a tall tree in the jungle. ho

lutik1710 [3]

v₀ = initial speed as tarzan grabs the vine = 5.3 m/s

v = final speed as the tarzan reach the maximum height = 0 m/s

h = maximum height gained by the tarzan

m = mass of tarzan

using conservation of energy

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy + potential energy

(0.5) m v²₀ = (0.5) m v² + m g h

(0.5) v²₀ = (0.5) v² + g h

(0.5) (5.3)² = (0.5) (0)² + (9.8) h

h = 1.43 m

Please help. I don’t understand this

skad [1K]

The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is

1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m

Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as

v (ave) = ∆x / ∆t

and under constant acceleration,

v (ave) = (v (final) + v (initial)) / 2

According to the plot, with ∆t = 4.0 s, we have v (initial) = 0 and v (final) = 10.0 m/s, so

∆x / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2

∆x = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2

∆x = 20.00 m

A 1. 0 μf capacitor is being charged by a 9. 0 v battery through a 10 mω resistor.

Advocard [28]

The potential across the capacitor at t = 1.0 seconds, 5.0 seconds, 20.0 seconds respectively is mathematically given as

t=0.476v
t=1.967v
V2=4.323v

<h3>What is the potential across the capacitor?</h3>

Question Parameters:

A 1. 0 μf capacitor is being charged by a 9. 0 v battery through a 10 mω resistor.

t = 1.0 seconds
5.0 seconds
20.0 seconds.

Generally, the equation for the Voltage is mathematically given as

v(t)=Vmax=(i-e^{-t/t})

Therefore

For t=1

V=5(i-e^{-1/10})

t=0.476v

For t=5s

V2=5(i-e^{-5/10})

t=1.967

For t=20s

V2=5(i-e^{-20/10})

V2=4.323v

Therefore, the values of voltages at the various times are

t=0.476v
t=1.967v
V2=4.323v

A 50 Q resistor in a circuit has a current flowing through it of 2.0 A. What is

Alex17521 [72]

Hello!

We can use the following equation for calculating power dissipated by a resistor:
$P = i^2R$

P = Power (? W)
i = Current through resistor (2.0 A)
R = Resistance of resistor (50Ω)

Plug in the known values and solve.

$P = (2.0^2)(50) = \boxed{\text{ B. }200 W}$

a tank circuit contains a capacitor and an inductor that produce 30 of reactance at the resonant frequency. the inductor has a q

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The total circuit current at the resonant frequency is 0.61 amps

What is a LC Circuit?

A capacitor and an inductor, denoted by the letters "C" and "L," respectively, make up an LC circuit, also referred to as a tank circuit, a tuned circuit, or a resonant circuit.
These circuits are used to create signals at particular frequencies or to receive signals from more complicated signals at particular frequencies.

Q =15 = (wL)/R

wL = 30 ohms = Xl

R = 2 ohms

Zs = R + jXl = 2 +j30 ohms where Zs is the series LR impedance

| Zs | = 30.07 <86.2° ohms

Xc = 1/(wC) = 30 ohms

The impedance of the LC circuit is found from:

Zp = (Zs)(-jXc)/( Zs -jXc)

Zp = (2+j30)(-j30)/(2 + j30-j30) = (900 -j60)2 = 450 -j30 = 451 < -3.81°

I capacitor = 277/-j30 = j9.23 amps

I Zs = 277/(2 +j30) = (554 - j8,310)/904 = 0.61 - j9.19 amps

I net = I cap + I Zs = 0.61 + j0.04 amps = 0.61 < 3.75° amps

Hence, the total circuit current at the resonant frequency is 0.61 amps
