Answer:

The wavelength of the wave is 20 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Amplitude = 10 cm

Radial frequency $\omega = 20\pi\ rad/s$

Bulk modulus = 40 MPa

Density = 1000 kg/m³

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave in the medium

Using formula of velocity

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{\rho}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{40\times10^{6}}{10^3}}$

$v=200\ m/s$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda =\dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{v\times2\pi}{\omega}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{200\times2\pi}{20\pi}$

$\lambda=20\ m$

Hence, The wavelength of the wave is 20 m.

A 5.0-kg block of wood is placed on a 2.0-kg aluminum frying pan. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of both the

Shalnov [3]

Heat required to raise the temperature of a given system is

$Q = ms\Delta T$

here we know that

m = mass

s = specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

now as we know that

mass of wood = 5 kg

mass of aluminium pan = 2 kg

change in temperature = 45 - 20 = 25 degree C

specific heat capacity of wood = 1700 J/kg C

specific heat capacity of aluminium = 900 J/kg C

now here we will find the total heat to raise the temperature of both

$Q = m_1s_1\Delta T_1 + m_2s_2\Delta T_2$

$Q = 5 * 1700 * 25 + 2 * 900 * 25$

$Q = 212500 + 45000$

$Q = 257500 J$

So heat required to raise the temperature of the system is 257500 J

For copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm3 and M = 63.5 g/mol. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, what is the drift velocity of electro

viktelen [127]

Answer:

$V_d$ = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Density of copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm³

mass, M = 63.5 g/mol

Radius of wire = 0.625 mm

Current, I = 3A

Area of the wire, $A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$ = $A = \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}$

Now,

The current density, J is given as

$J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{3}{ \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}}$ = 2444619.925 A/mm²

now, the electron density, $n = \frac{\rho}{M}N_A$

where,

$N_A$ =Avogadro's Number

$n = \frac{8.93}{63.5}(6.2\times 10^{23})=8.719\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3$

Now,

the drift velocity, $V_d$

$V_d=\frac{J}{ne}$

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

thus,

$V_d=\frac{2444619.925}{8.719\times 10^{28}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})e}$ = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

In one cycle, a heat engine takes in 1000 J of heat from a high-temperature reservoir, releases 600 J of heat to a lower-tempera

Talja [164]

Answer:

η = 40 %

Explanation:

Given that

Qa ,Heat addition= 1000 J

Qr,Heat rejection= 600 J

Work done ,W= 400 J

We know that ,efficiency of a engine given as

$\eta=\dfrac{W(net)}{Q(heat\ addition)}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation ,then we get

$\eta=\dfrac{400}{1000}$

η = 0.4

The efficiency in percentage is given as

η = 0.4 x 100 %

η = 40 %

Therefore the answer will be 40%.
