Answer: Option A

Explanation: Now, i will consider that W and A refers to the work and heat done/applied to the system

Always Q is related to the heat, so if Q is positive this means that the temperature of the system increase if Q is negative this means that heat is extracted from the system, and the temperature decreases, which implies that the motion of the particles decreases.

For the work is the same, if the applied work is positive, then the energy of the system increments (suppose a gas inside a piston, if you compress the piston the work is positive, and now the particles are close together, wich increments the temperature of the gas)

If the work is negative, this means that the system does the work, so the energy decreases, and also the motion of the particles, so the correct option A

What is the rate of heat transfer by radiation, with an unclothed person standing in a dark room whose ambient temperature is 22

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

$5.45\times 10^{-4}$ W

Explanation:

$T_{r}$ = Temperature of the room = 22.0 °C = 22 + 273 = 295 K

$T_{s}$ = Temperature of the skin = 33.0 °C = 33 + 273 = 306 K

$A$ = Surface area = 1.50 m²

$\epsilon$ = emissivity = 0.97

$\sigma$ = Stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻² K⁻⁴

Rate of heat transfer is given as

$R = \epsilon \sigma A (T_{s}^{2} - T_{r}^{2})$

$R = (0.97)(5.67\times 10^{-8}) (1.50) ((306)^{2} - (295)^{2})$

$R = 5.45\times 10^{-4}$ W

How has God designed sound waves so that a person is able to hear all the different instruments in a musical piece at the same t

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: when the wave encounters something, it can bounce (reflection) or be bent (refraction). In fact, you can "trap" waves by making them bounce back and forth between two or more surfaces. Musical instruments take advantage of this; they produce pitches by trapping sound waves.

Explanation: Any bunch of sound waves will produce some sort of noise. But to be a tone - a sound with a particular pitch - a group of sound waves has to be very regular, all exactly the same distance apart. That's why we can talk about the frequency and wavelength of tones.

Review 1: A plane is located x = 40 miles (horizontally) away from an airport at an altitude of h miles. Radar at the airport de

-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

$s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}$ ...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

$2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}$

When x = 40, $s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}$

$x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s$

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A simple pendulum is made from a 0.54-m-long string and a small ball attached to its free end. The ball is pulled to one side th

Serga [27]

Answer:

0.37sec

Explanation:

Period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length L is:

T = 2 π × √ (L /g)

L=length of string 0.54m

g=acceleration due to gravity

T-period

T = 2 x 3.14 x √[0.54/9.8]

T = 1.47sec

An oscillating pendulum, or anything else in nature that involves "simple harmonic" (sinusoidal) motion, spends 1/4 of its period going from zero speed to maximum speed, and another 1/4 going from maximum speed to zero speed again, etc. After four quarter-periods it is back where it started.

The ball will first have V(max) at T/4,

=>V(max) = 1.47/4 = 0.37 sec
