What does one prolonged blast emitted by boat a using an efficient sound producing device indicate?

1 answer:

3 0

A single prolonged blast emitted by a boat using an efficient sound producing devices indicates that the boat is leaving the dock. It may also be used to indicate that the boat is moving and for alarming other vessels, but in this case, one prolonged blast is followed by two short blasts, in two minutes of time.

Say that you are in a large room at temperature TC = 300 K. Someone gives you a pot of hot soup at a temperature of TH = 340 K.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:0.061

Explanation:

Given

$T_C=300 k$

Temperature of soup $T_H=340 K$

heat capacity of soup $c_v=33 J/K$

Here Temperature of soup is constantly decreasing

suppose T is the temperature of soup at any instant

efficiency is given by

$\eta =\frac{dW}{Q}=1-\frac{T_C}{T}$

$dW=Q(1-\frac{T_C}{T})$

$dW=c_v(1-\frac{T_C}{T})dT$

integrating From $T_H$ to $T_C$

$\int dW=\int_{T_C}^{T_H}c_v(1-\frac{T_C}{T})dT$

$W=\int_{T_C}^{T_H}33\cdot (1-\frac{300}{T})dT$

$W=c_v\left [ T-T_C\ln T\right ]_{T_H}^{T_C}$

$W=c_v\left [ \left ( T_C-T_H\right )-T_C\left ( \ln \frac{T_C}{T_H}\right )\right ]$

Now heat lost by soup is given by

$Q=c_v(T_C-T_H)$

Fraction of the total heat that is lost by the soup can be turned is given by

$=\frac{W}{Q}$

$=\frac{c_v\left [ \left ( T_C-T_H\right )-T_C\left ( \ln \frac{T_C}{T_H}\right )\right ]}{c_v(T_C-T_H)}$

$=\frac{T_C-T_H-T_C\ln (\frac{T_C}{T_H})}{T_C-T_H}$

$=\frac{300-340-300\ln (\frac{300}{340})}{300-340}$

$=\frac{-40+37.548}{-40}$

$=0.061$

How does the force of gravity between two bodies change when the distance between them doubles?

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity between the two bodies is one-fourth as strong as before

Explanation:

The force of gravity between two bodies depends on the mass and distance. But we will focus on distance since that's what the question asks

Therefore, the force of gravity decreases as distance between the bodies increases.

What's the difference between meteoroids, meteorites, and meteors?

SVEN [57.7K]

You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.

-- While it's drifting in space, it's a meteoroid.

-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a meteor.

-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a meteorite.

A wave takes 0.5 seconds to complete one cycle. Which characteristic of the wave does this description represent? A. period B. w

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

period

Explanation:

A wave takes 0.5 seconds to complete one cycle. It is called the time period of the wave. It is the time taken by the wave to complete one cycle.

The relation between the time period and the frequency is given by :

T = 1/f

Where

f is frequency of the wave

Hence, the correct option is (a) "period".
