When water freezes, it expands. what does this say about the density of ice compared with the density of water?

1 answer:

4 0

When water freezes to form ice, its volume expands. However, we know from conservation of mass that the mass of the ice is the same as the mass of the water. Since density is defined fundamentally as mass / volume, and we have an expanding volume at a constant mass, the denominator of the equation grows, and thus the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water.

A bicycle pump contains 20 cm3 of air at a pressure of 100 kPa. The air is then pumped in a tyre of volume 100 cm3. Calculate th

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The pressure of the air in the tyre is 20 kPa

Explanation:

The parameters for the bicycle pump and tyre are;

The volume of air contained in the bicycle pump, V₁ = 20 cm³

The pressure of the air contained in the bicycle pump, P₁ = 100 kPa

The volume (available) of the tyre, where the air is pumped, V₂ = 100 cm³

Let P₂ represent the pressure in the tyre after the air is pumped

By Boyle's law, we have that at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure;

Mathematically, Boyle's law gives the following equation;

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

∴ P₂ = (P₁ × V₁)/V₂

Substituting the known values gives;

P₂ = (100 kPa × 20 cm³)/(100 cm³)

∴ P₂ = 100 kPa × 1/5 = 20 kPa

P₂ = 20 kPa

The pressure of the air in the tyre = P₂ = 20 kPa.

What does it mean to say that a wave is a cyclic, or periodic, disturbance

Ivenika [448]

Wave is a disturbance or energy that propagate through medium from one point to other point

So basically it is a flowing energy that flows into the medium and hence medium particles start oscillating about their mean position to and fro.

This motion of medium particles or this to and fro motion is about their mean position and this will always be cyclic or periodic motion

This means the disturbance or energy continuously flow through the medium such that it will change the position of medium particle and this will be cyclic in order

For an example

$y = A sin(\omega t + kx + \phi)$

so here above equation of wave is a travelling wave in which displacement of medium particle from its mean position is given by "y"

Now we can see that this disturbance depends upon the sine function and it will repeat its same position after every 2 pi time interval as it is cyclic function for this value

Due to this phenomenon of repeatation of its same position we can say that it is disturbance of wave is cyclic.

I need it now aaaasssssaaaappp!!!!

A) Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave. The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency and the lower the pitch, the lower the frequency. Sound waves have different pitches due to varying frequency levels.

B) Sound is created as the pen vibrates. This vibrations also interacts with the air atoms and molecules, causing them to vibrate too, therefore, creating sound waves. The reason the brain grows annoyed at this continual sound is because the brain will focus on this sound only, causing the brain to go into overdrive, creating annoyance.

C) Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles. Space does not have any atoms or particles for the sound vibrations to interact with, therefore creating zero sound waves to travel.

Hope this helps!! :))
