Answer:

wavelength = 0.5 meters

Explanation:

Wavelength is the distance between successive trough or crest of a wave. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency. This means the shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency .The S.I unit of wavelength is meters.

Wavelength can be represented with a Greek symbol known as lambda (λ).

The formula below can be use to represent wavelength .

λ = v/f

where λ = wavelength

v = velocity

f = frequency

v = 24m/s

f = 48 Hertz

λ = 24/48

λ = 0.5meters

The Reynolds number, rho VD/mu, is a very important parameter in fluid mechanics. Verify that the Reynolds number is dimensionle

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Re = 1 10⁴

Explanation:

Reynolds number is

Re = ρ v D /μ

The units of each term are

ρ = [kg / m³]

v = [m / s]

D = [m]

μ = [Pa s]

The pressure

Pa = [N / m²] = [Kg m / s²] 1 / [m²] = [kg / m s²]

μ = [Pa s] = [kg / m s²] [s] = [kg / m s]

We substitute the units in the equation

Re = [kg / m³] [m / s] [m] / [kg / m s]

Re = [kg / m s] / [m s / kg]

RE = [ ]

Reynolds number is a scalar

Let's evaluate for the given point

Where the data for methane are:

viscosity μ = 11.2 10⁻⁶ Pa s

the density ρ = 0.656 kg / m³

D = 2 in (2.54 10⁻² m / 1 in) = 5.08 10⁻² m

Re = 0.656 4 2 5.08 10⁻² /11.2 10⁻⁶

Re = 1.19 10⁴

When a current flows in an aluminum wire of diameter 2.91 mm 2.91 mm , the drift speed of the conduction electrons is 0.000191 m

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Number of electrons are flowing per second is 2.42 x 10¹⁹

Explanation:

The electric current flows through a wire is given by the relation :

$I=envA$ ....(1)

Here I is current, e is electronic charge, v is drift velocity of electrons and A is the Area of the wire.

But electric current is also define as rate of electrons passing through junction times their charge, i.e. ,

$I=Ne$ ....(2)

Here N is the rate of electrons passing through junction.

From equation (1) and (2).

$eN = envA$

$N=nvA$

But area of wire, $A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

Here d is diameter of wire.

So, $N = nv\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

Substitute 2.91 x 10⁻³ m for d, 0.000191 m/s for v and 6 x 10²⁸ m⁻³ for n in the above equation.

$N = 6\times10^{28}\times 0.000191\times\pi \frac{(2.91\times10^{-3} )^{2} }{4}$

N = 2.42 x 10¹⁹ s⁻¹

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km

Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km

Explanation:

If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be $v_{AT}=v_A-v_T$ (the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed), where $v_A$ is the speed of the automobile and $v_T$ the speed of the train.

So we have $v_{AT}=(95km/h)-(75Km/h)=20Km/h$ .

So the train (anyone in fact) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:

$t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{20Km/h} = 0.065h=234s$

And in that time the car would have traveled (relative to the ground):

$d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.065h)=6.175Km$

If they are traveling in opposite directions, we have to do all the same but using $v_{AT}=v_A+v_T$ (the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed), so repeating the process:

$v_{AT}=(95km/h)+(75Km/h)=170Km/h$

$t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{170Km/h} = 0.00765h=27.53s$

$d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.00765h)=0.73Km$

Which of the following is known as the use of a wave?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Waves involve the transport of energy without the transport of matter. In conclusion, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium, transporting energy from one location (its source) to another location without transporting matter.
