Mechanical waves move energy through a medium by vibrating particles. Mechanical waves can't move energy through a vacuum because there is no matter inside of a vacuum. The three types of mechanical waves are transverse waves, surface waves, and longitudinal waves.

Water is being boiled in an open kettle that has a 0.52-cm-thick circular aluminum bottom with a radius of 12.0 cm. If the water

tangare [24]

Answer:

$T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given:

thickness of the base of the kettle, $dx=0.52\ cm=5.2\times 10^{-3}\ m$

radius of the base of the kettle, $r=0.12\ m$

temperature of the top surface of the kettle base, $T_t=100^{\circ}C$

rate of heat transfer through the kettle to boil water, $\dot Q=0.409\ kg.min^{-1}$

We have the latent heat vaporization of water, $L=2260\times 10^3\ J.kg^{-1}$

and thermal conductivity of aluminium, $k=240\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

So, the heat rate:

$\dot Q=\frac{0.409\times 2260000}{60}$

$\dot Q=15405.67\ W$

From the Fourier's law of conduction we have:

$\dot Q=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

$\dot Q=k\times \pi.r^2\times \frac{T_b-T_t}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}$

where:

$A=$ area of the surface through which conduction occurs

$T_b=$ temperature of the bottom surface

$15405.67=240\times \pi\times 0.12^2\times \frac{T_b-100}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}$

$T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C$ is the temperature of the bottom of the base surface of the kettle.

A ship is travelling due east at 30 km/hr and a boy runs across the deck

dsp73

Answer:

Vr = 20 [km/h]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we have to add the relative velocities. We must remember that velocity is a vector, therefore it has magnitude and direction. We will take the sea as the reference measurement level.

Let's take the direction of the ship as positive. Therefore the boy moves in the opposite direction (Negative) to the reference level (the sea).

$V_{r}=30-10\\V_{r}=20 [km/h]$

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line

poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

$v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s$

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m$

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2$

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}$

Calculating:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}$
