Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Complete Question

A wave is described by y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t), where x is in meters, y is in centimetres and t is in seconds. The angular wave frequency is

Answer:

The value is $w = 10 \ rad /s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The equation describing the wave is y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t)

Generally the sinusoidal equation representing the motion of a wave is mathematically represented as

$y(x,t) = Asin(kx + wt )$

Where w is the angular frequency

Now comparing this equation with that given we see that

$w = 10 \ rad /s$

An accelerating voltage of 2.47 x 10^3 V is applied to an electron gun, producing a beam of electrons originally traveling horiz

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

Explanation:

E = Accelerating voltage = 2.47×10³ V

m = Mass of electron

Distance electron travels = 33.5 cm = 0.335 cm

$E=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2470\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}\\\Rightarrow v=29455356.08671\ m/s$

Deflection by Earth's Gravity

$\Delta =\frac {gt^2}{2}$

Now, Time = Distance/Velocity

$\Delta =\frac {g\frac{s^2}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =\frac{9.81\frac{0.335^2}{29455356.08671^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =6.3445\times 10^{-16}\ m$

∴ Magnitude of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earth's gravitational field is 6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

At 4.00 l, an expandable vessel contains 0.864 mol of oxygen gas. how many liters of oxygen gas must be added at constant temper

svet-max [94.6K]

Givens
=====
V = 4.00 L
T = 273oK We're assuming the temperature does not change, just the pressure.
n = 0.864 moles
R = 8.314 joules / mole * oK
P = ?????

Formula
======
PV = n*R*T
P = n*R*T/V
P = 0.864 * 8.314 * 273 / 4
P = 490 kpa

You have to add 1.6 – 0.864 = 0.736 moles of gas.

We have to assume that the temperature and pressure remain the same when we add the 0.736 moles of gas. We are now looking for the volume.

PV = n*R*T

V = 0.736 * 8.314 * 273 / 490

V = 3.41 L Remember this is at about 4 atmospheres so we have to convert to Standard Pressure.

Total Volume = 3.41 + 4.00 = 4.41

V1 * P1 = V2 * P2

P1 = 490 kPa

P2 = 101 kPa

V1 = 7.41 L

V2 = ????

7.41* 490 = V2 * 101 V2 = 7.41 * 490 / 101 V2 = 35.94 L

You had 4 L now you need 31.94 more.

How much time is needed to produce 720 Joules of work if 90 watts of power is used?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

power (P) is defined as the rate at which work is done.

power is measured in Watts (W) , when the work done is measured in Joules (J) and time in seconds

by the definition of power,

$Power=\frac{work.done}{time.taken} \\ \\ time.taken=\frac{work.done}{power}\\=\frac{720J }{90W} \\ \\ =8 s$
