I just did this last semester... I know this is wave height!!
Vikentia [17]3 years ago

Answer:

d. Wave Height

Explanation:

Imagine my crude drawing of a sea wave is actually passable haha, so, the top of the wave is called the crest, and the lowest part of the wave, under the calm sea level, is the Trough, the vertical distance between those two points is the wave height.

As extra credit ;) the distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs is the wavelength, and this is exactly the same in radio waves!

You wish to cool a 1.83 kg block of tin initially at 88.0°C to a temperature of 57.0°C by placing it in a container of kerosene
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

Explanation:

The minimum boiling point of kerosene is 150\,^{\circ}C. According to this question, we need to determine the minimum volume of liquid such that heat received is entirely sensible, that is, with no phase change.

If we consider a steady state process and that energy interactions with surrounding are negligible, then we get the following formula by the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\rho_{k}\cdot V_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o}) = m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T) (1)

Where:

\rho_{k} - Density of kerosene, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

V_{k} - Volume of kerosene, measured in cubic meters.

c_{k}, c_{t} - Specific heats of the kerosene and tin, measured in joule per kilogram-Celsius.

T_{k,o}, T_{t,o} - Initial temperatures of kerosene and tin, measured in degrees Celsius.

T - Final temperatures of the kerosene-tin system, measured in degrees Celsius.

Please notice that the block of tin is cooled at the expense of the temperature of the kerosene until thermal equilibrium is reached.

From (1), we clear the volume of kerosene:

V_{k} = \frac{m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)}{\rho_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o})}

If we know that m_{t} = 1.83\,kg, c_{t} = 218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}, T_{t,o} = 88\,^{\circ}C, T_{k,o} = 24.0\,^{\circ}C, T = 57\,^{\circ}C, c_{k} = 2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} and \rho_{k} = 820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, then the volume of the liquid needed to accomplish this task without boiling is:

V_{k} = \frac{(1.83\,kg)\cdot \left(218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (88\,^{\circ}C-57\,^{\circ}C)}{\left(820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (57\,^{\circ}C-24\,^{\circ}C)}

V_{k} = 2.273\times 10^{-4}\,m^{3}

V_{k} = 0.273\,L

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

A carrot hangs from the ceiling by a rope,
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: Diagram B

Explanation:

A free body diagram shows the forces acting on an object in a certain scenario.

In this scenario there are two forces acting on the carrot: the Tension force (Ft) from the rope that the carrot is hanging from and Gravitational force(Fg) which is pulling the carrot to the Earth.

The diagram depicting this is diagram B.
