<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Are moving up and down.

As a transverse wave travels through a rope from left to right, the parts of the rope <u>are moving up and down</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Transverse waves occur when a disturbance causes oscillations perpendicular to the propagation, that is the direction of energy transfer.
<em><u>Particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction the transverse wave itself is moving. For example, if the wave is moving to the right, the particles of the medium are moving up and down.</u></em>
<em><u>Therefore, as a transverse wave travels through a rope from left to right, the parts of the rope are moving up and down.</u></em>

How do theories differ from Laws and Principles?

g100num [7]

A scientific law is the simple mathematical expression of the relationship involved. A principle is the same relationship expressed in words. A theory is the explanation of the facts that make up the relationship.

While tuning a string to the note C at 523 Hz, a piano tuner hears 2.00 beats/s between a reference oscillator and the string.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

a)the possible frequencies are 521hz ,522hz, 523, 524hz,525hz

b) 526hz

c)0.989 or a 1.14% decrease in tension

Explanation:

a) While tuning a string at 523 Hz,piano tuner hears 2.00 beats/s between a reference oscillator and the string.

The possible frequencies of the string can be calculated by

fl=f' - B

where

fl= lower limit of the possible frequency

f'= frequency of the string

B= beat heard by the tuner

fl= 523hz + Or - (2beats/secs * 1hz/1beat per sc)

fl= 521hz or 525hz

So the possible frequencies are 521hz ,522hz, 523, 524hz,525hz

b)fl=f' - B

523hz= f' - 3

f'= 523 + 3= 526hz

c) The tension is directly proportional to the square of the frequencies

T1/T2 =f1^2/f2^2

523^2 / 526^2 = 0.989 or a 1.14% decrease in tensio

A cylinder of mass 14.0 kg rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. At a certain instant its center of mass has a speed o

aev [14]

Answer:

a) 567J

b) 283.5J

c)850.5J

Explanation:

The expression for the translational kinetic energy is,

$E_r = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Substitute,

14kg for m

9m/s for v

$E_r = \frac{1}{2} (14) (9)^2\\= 567J$

The translational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 567J

(B)

The expression for the rotational kinetic energy is,

$E_R = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2$

The expression for the moment of inertia of the cylinder is,

$I = \frac{1}{2} mr^2$

The expression for angular velocity is,

$w = \frac{v}{r}$

substitute

1/2mr² for I

and vr for w

in equation for rotational kinetic energy as follows:

$E_R = (\frac{1}{2}) (\frac{1}{2} mr^2)(\frac{v}{r} )^2$

$= \frac{mv^2}{4}$

$E_R = \frac{14 \times 9^2 }{4} \\\\= 283.5J$

The rotational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 283.5J

(c)

The expression for the total energy is,

$E = E_r + E_R\\\\$

substitute 567J for E(r) and 283.5J for E(R)

$E = 567J + 283.5\\= 850.5J$

The total energy of the cylinder is 850.5J

An air compressor compresses 6 L of air at 120 kPa and 22°C to 1000 kPa and 400°C. Determine the flow work, in kJ/kg, required b

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The work flow required by the compressor = 100.67Kj/kg

Explanation:

The solution to this question is obtained from the energy balance where the initial and final specific internal energies and enthalpies are taken from A-17 table from the given temperatures using interpolation .

The work flow can be determined using the equation:

M1h1 + W = Mh2

U1 + P1alph1 + ◇U + Workflow = U2 + P2alpha2

Workflow = P2alpha2 - P1alpha1

Workflow = (h2 -U2) - (h1 - U1)

Workflow = ( 684.344 - 491.153) - ( 322.483 - 229.964)

Workflow = ( 193.191 - 92.519)Kj/kg

Workflow = 100.672Kj/kg

"In a pure substance all the particles must be identical; therefore pure substances are composed only of elements." Do you agree

kenny6666 [7]

I do not agree with the statement.
The "substance" can be a compound. It's "pure"
as long as there's nothing else in it but its name.

'Pure' water is 100% H₂O with nothing else in it.
'Pure' table salt is 100% NaCl with nothing else in it.
'Pure' carbon dioxide is 100% CO₂ with nothing else in it.

These example substances are all compounds, not elements.
