Answer: The correct answer is "amplitude".

Explanation:

The expression of the energy in terms of frequency is as follows;

E=hf

Here, h is Planck's constant, E is the energy and f is the frequency of the wave.

Here, the energy is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. The energy of the wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the wave.

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particle from its equilibrium position in the vertical direction.

The amount of energy carried by a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. More the energy of the wave, more will be amplitude of the wave. Lesser the energy of the wave, lesser will be the amplitude of the wave.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

A sealed container holding 0.0255 L of an ideal gas at 0.981 atm and 65 ∘ C is placed into a refrigerator and cooled to 41 ∘ C w

user100 [1]

Answer:

0.911 atm

Explanation:

In this problem, there is no change in volume of the gas, since the container is sealed.

Therefore, we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically:

$p\propto T$

where

p is the gas pressure

T is the absolute temperature

For a gas undergoing a transformation, the law can be rewritten as:

$\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}$

where in this problem:

$p_1=0.981 atm$ is the initial pressure of the gas

$T_1=65^{\circ}+273=338 K$ is the initial absolute temperature of the gas

$T_2=41^{\circ}+273=314 K$ is the final temperature of the gas

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure of the gas:

$p_2=\frac{p_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(0.981)(314)}{338}=0.911 atm$

A wagon wheel consists of 8 spokes of uniform diamter, each of mass m, and length L. The outer ring has a mass m rin. What is th

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$

Explanation:

m = Mass of each rod

L = Length of rod = Radius of ring

$m_r$ = Mass of ring

Moment of inertia of a spoke

$\dfrac{mL^2}{3}$

For 8 spokes

$8\dfrac{mL^2}{3}$

Moment of inertia of ring

$m_rL^2$

Total moment of inertia

$8\dfrac{mL^2}{3}+m_rL^2\\\Rightarrow L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$

The moment of inertia of the wheel through an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is $L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$ .
