Suppose you watch a leaf bobbing up and down as ripples pass it by in a pond. You notice that it does two full up and down bobs

each second. Which statement is true of the ripples on the pond?

Answer:

They have a frequency of 2 hertz

Explanation:

Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time and Wavelength is the distance from one crest to another, or from one trough to another.

In the question, it is stated that the leaf does two full up and down bobs, this means that it completes 2 full cycles in one second. Therefore, its frequency is 2/s

where, s⁻¹ is hertz

so, They have a frequency of 2 hertz

A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at 300K. During each cycle, it absorbs 200 calories from the high temperature rese
yanalaym [24]

(a) Zero

The maximum efficiency (Carnot efficiency) of a heat engine is given by

\eta=1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}

where

T_C is the low-temperature reservoir

T_H is the high-temperature reservoir

For the heat engine in the problem, we have:

T_C = 300K

T_H = 300K

Therefore, the maximum efficiency is

\eta=1-\frac{300}{300}=0

(b) Zero

The efficiency of a heat engine can also be rewritten as

\eta = \frac{W}{Q_H}

where

W is the work performed by the engine

Q_H is the heat absorbed from the high-temperature reservoir

In this problem, we know

\eta=0

Therefore, since the term Q_H cannot be equal to infinity, the numerator of the fraction must be zero as well, which means

W = 0

So the engine cannot perform any work.

How long does it take for mars to rotate on its axis
Svetllana [295]

Hello There!

It takes the planet Mars around 24 hours, 37 minutes, 23 seconds to rotate on its axis. This is around the same amount of time that it takes our planet to rotate once on its axis.

Which of Galileo’s discoveries were later used in Newton’s laws?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a moving object will keep moving if not stopped

the sun being at the center of the solar system

Explanation:

Galileo is known for being the first person make a telescope, there fore being the first person to see that the sun is in the center of the solar system. he also came up with the theory that if something is pushed, it would keep moving until stopped by another force. For example, say you drop your pencil, it keeps falling until it hits the ground. That is exactly what Galileo did in his  Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment and found that theory to be true.
