How does density of the medium affect the speed of a wave?

How much heat is absorbed by a 450g gold block as energy from the sun causes its temperature to change from 27°C to 32°C? (Speci

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Q = 1057.5 [cal]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

$Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where:

Q = heat energy [cal]

Cp = specific heat = 0.47 [cal/g*°C]

T_final = final temperature = 32 [°C]

T_initial = initial temperature = 27 [°C]

m = mass of the substance = 450 [g]

Now replacing:

$Q=450*0.47*(32-27)\\Q=1057.5[cal]$

Discuss the effects of breaking a food chain.

Tom [10]

Explanation:

Food chain is linear sequence of the organisms through which the nutrients and the energy pass as one organism eats the another.

<u>If one species in the food chain ceases to exist, the other members in rest of chain could cease to exist too or may increase in population which can affect other food chains. (Breaking of food chain).</u>

This is because the animals in the food chain are dependent on the nutrient present in the another.

For example in the food chain,

Grass ---- Deer ------ Lion

If all deer extinct, the lion will die as they will have nothing to feed on and the population of grass increases.

In the design of a rapid transit system, it is necessary to balance the average speed of a train against the distance between st

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

a) t = 746 s

b) t = 666 s

Explanation:

a)

Total time will be the sum of the partial times between stations plus the time stopped at the stations.
Due to the distance between stations is the same, and the time between stations must be the same (Because the train starts from rest in each station) we can find total time, finding the time for any of the distance between two stations, and then multiply it times the number of distances.
At any station, the train starts from rest, and then accelerates at 1.1m/s2 till it reaches to a speed of 95 km/h.
In order to simplify things, let's first to convert this speed from km/h to m/s, as follows:

$v_{1} = 95 km/h *\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 26.4 m/s (1)$

Applying the definition of acceleration, we can find the time traveled by the train before reaching to this speed, as follows:

$t_{1} = \frac{v_{1} }{a_{1} } = \frac{26.4m/s}{1.1m/s2} = 24 s (2)$

Next, we can find the distance traveled during this time, assuming that the acceleration is constant, using the following kinematic equation:

$x_{1} = \frac{1}{2} *a_{1} *t_{1} ^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.1m/s2*(24s)^{2} = 316.8 m (3)$

In the same way, we can find the time needed to reach to a complete stop at the next station, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

$t_{3} = \frac{-v_{1} }{a_{2} } = \frac{-26.4m/s}{-2.2m/s2} = 12 s (4)$

We can find the distance traveled while the train was decelerating as follows:

$x_{3} = (v_{1} * t_{3}) + \frac{1}{2} *a_{2} *t_{3} ^{2} \\ = (26.4m/s*12s) - \frac{1}{2} * 2.2m/s2*(12s)^{2} = 316.8 m - 158.4 m = 158.4m (5)$

Finally, we need to know the time traveled at constant speed.
So, we need to find first the distance traveled at the constant speed of 26.4m/s.
This distance is just the total distance between stations (3.0 km) minus the distance used for acceleration (x₁) and the distance for deceleration (x₃), as follows:
x₂ = L - (x₁+x₃) = 3000 m - (316.8 m + 158.4 m) = 2525 m (6)

The time traveled at constant speed (t₂), can be found from the definition of average velocity, as follows:

$t_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{v_{1} } = \frac{2525m}{26.4m/s} = 95.6 s (7)$

Total time between two stations is simply the sum of the three times we have just found:
t = t₁ +t₂+t₃ = 24 s + 95.6 s + 12 s = 131.6 s (8)
Due to we have six stations (including those at the ends) the total time traveled while the train was moving, is just t times 5, as follows:
tm = t*5 = 131.6 * 5 = 658.2 s (9)
Since we know that the train was stopped at each intermediate station for 22s, and we have 4 intermediate stops, we need to add to total time 22s * 4 = 88 s, as follows:
Ttotal = tm + 88 s = 658.2 s + 88 s = 746 s (10)

b)

Using all the same premises that for a) we know that the only difference, in order to find the time between stations, will be due to the time traveled at constant speed, because the distance traveled at a constant speed will be different.
Since t₁ and t₃ will be the same, x₁ and x₃, will be the same too.
We can find the distance traveled at constant speed, rewriting (6) as follows:

x₂ = L - (x₁+x₃) = 5000 m - (316.8 m + 158.4 m) = 4525 m (11)

The time traveled at constant speed (t₂), can be found from the definition of average velocity, as follows:

$t_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{v_{1} } = \frac{4525m}{26.4m/s} = 171.4 s (12)$

Total time between two stations is simply the sum of the three times we have just found:
t = t₁ +t₂+t₃ = 24 s + 171.4 s + 12 s = 207.4 s (13)
Due to we have four stations (including those at the ends) the total time traveled while the train was moving, is just t times 3, as follows:
tm = t*3 = 207.4 * 3 = 622.2 s (14)
Since we know that the train was stopped at each intermediate station for 22s, and we have 2 intermediate stops, we need to add to total time 22s * 2 = 44 s, as follows:
Ttotal = tm + 44 s = 622.2 s + 44 s = 666 s (15)

Explain the Big Bang and how it started

AlexFokin [52]

The big bang is how astronomers explain the way the universe began. It is the idea that the universe began as just a single point, then expanded and stretched to grow as large as it is right now (and it could still be stretching).
