What is true about isolines on a weather map?

Answer: Hi, isolines refer to lines where some quantity maintains constant.

For example, an "istoremal line" is a line where the temperature is constant, an "isobaric line" is a line where the pressure is constant.

Where constant means that, in the two examples i give you, in all the line the temperature or the pressure has the same value.

A thing that you usually can see in a whether map, is that the isolines are "closed" curves. And other thing, maybe more obvious, is that a line cant pass over other line (because this will mean that a point in the space has 2 different values of something).

A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting from a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound. What is the time interv

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

Explanation:

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency by the equation

v = λ f

where the speed of sound is 340 m / s

λ = v / f

λ = 340/500

λ = 0.68 m

this is the wavelength, it is the minimum distance for which the wave epitates its movement, which is equal to the distance between two consecutive compressions of the sound

ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

Cuanto cambia la entropía de 0.50 kg de vapor de mercurio [Lv: 2.7 x 10⁵ j/kg ] al calentarse en su punto de ebullición de 357°

lord [1]

Answer:

La entropía del vapor de mercurio cambia en 214.235 joules por Kelvin.

Explanation:

Por definición de entropía ( $S$ ), medida en joules por Kelvin, tenemos la siguiente expresión:

$dS = \frac{\delta Q}{T}$ (1)

Donde:

$Q$ - Ganancia de calor, en joules.

$T$ - Temperatura del sistema, en Kelvin.

Ampliamos (1) por la definición de calor latente:

$dS = \frac{L_{v}}{T}\cdot dm$ (1b)

Donde:

$m$ - Masa del sistema, en kilogramos.

$L_{v}$ - Calor latente de vaporización, en joules

Puesto que no existe cambio en la temperatura durante el proceso de vaporización, transformamos la expresión diferencial en expresión de diferencia, es decir:

$\Delta S = \frac{\Delta m \cdot L_{v}}{T}$

Como vemos, el cambio de la entropía asociada al cambio de fase del mercurio es directamente proporcional a la masa del sistema. Si tenemos que $m = 0.50\,kg$ , $L_{v} = 2.7\times 10^{5}\,\frac{J}{kg}$ and $T = 630.15\,K$ , entonces el cambio de entropía es:

$\Delta S = \frac{(0.50\,kg)\cdot \left(2.7\times 10^{5}\,\frac{J}{kg} \right)}{630.15\,K}$

$\Delta S = 214.235 \,\frac{J}{K}$

La entropía del vapor de mercurio cambia en 214.235 joules por Kelvin.

A 234.0 g piece of lead is heated to 86.0oC and then dropped into a calorimeter containing 611.0 g of water that initally is at

Vaselesa [24]

Answer: $24.70 ^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given

mass of lead piece $m_l=234 gm\approx 0.234 kg$

mass of water in calorimeter $m_w=611 gm\approx 0.611 kg$

Initial temperature of water $T_w=24^{\circ}C$

Initial temperature of lead piece $T_l=24^{\circ}C$

we know heat capacity of lead and water are $125.604 J/kg-k$ and $4.184 kJ/kg-k$ respectively

Let us take $T ^{\circ}C$ be the final temperature of the system

Conserving energy

heat lost by lead=heat gained by water

$m_lc_l(T_l-T)=m_wc_w(T-T_w)$

$0.234\times 125.604(86-T)=0.611\times 4.184\times 1000(T-24)$

$86-T=\frac{0.611\times 4.184\times 1000}{29.391}(T-24)$

$86-T=86.97T-2087.49$

$T=\frac{2173.491}{87.97}=24.70^{\circ}C$

What is the tangent function used to find and what are its units

Verizon [17]

The functions of angles are used to find unknown lengths or angles that can't be measured, in terms of known quantities. The trig functions of angles are ratios of lengths, so they're bare naked numbers without units.

Before the student releases the cart by cutting the tinsel string, what forces are acting on the cart?

Naya [18.7K]

Answer: TENSION and WEIGHT

Explanation:

Force experienced by the spring is called TENSION while the WEIGHT is the gravitational pull on the body towards the earth surface. Therefore the forces acting on the cart are TENSION and WEIGHT(weight acts downwards (along negative y-axis) while the TENSION upward(along positive y-axis).
