Compressions and rarefactions are characteristic of

Physics
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Of longitudinal waves

Explanation:

Depending on the direction of the oscillation, there are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the oscillations occur perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples are electromagnetic waves.

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the oscillations occur parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. In such a wave, the oscillations are produced by alternating regions of higher density of particles, called compressions, and regions of lower density of particles, called rarefactions. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

A 1.11 kg piece of aluminum at 78.3 c is put into a glass with 0.210 kg of water at 15.0
ValentinkaMS [17]

M = mass of aluminium = 1.11 kg

c_{a} = specific heat of aluminium = 900

T_{ai} = initial temperature of aluminium = 78.3 c

m = mass of water = 0.210 kg

c_{w} = specific heat of water = 4186

T_{wi} = initial temperature of water = 15 c

T = final equilibrium temperature = ?

using conservation of heat

Heat lost by aluminium = heat gained by water

M c_{a} (T_{ai} - T) = m c_{w} (T - T_{wi} )

(1.11) (900) (78.3 - T) = (0.210) (4186) (T - 15)

T = 48.7 c

A spherical balloon has a radius of 7.40 m and is filled with helium. Part A How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the sk
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The mass of the cargo is M  =  188.43 \ kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The radius of the spherical balloon is  r =  7.40 \ m

     The mass of the balloon is  m = 990\ kg  

The volume of the spherical balloon is mathematically represented as

     V  =  \frac{4}{3} * \pi r^3

substituting values

      V  =  \frac{4}{3} * 3.142 *(7.40)^3

      V  =  1697.6 \ m^3

The total mass  the balloon can lift is mathematically represented as

     m =  V (\rho_h - \rho_a)

where \rho_h is the density of helium with a  value of

       \rho_h  =  0.179 \ kg /m^3

and  \rho_a is the density of air with a value of

        \rho_ a  = 1.29 \ kg / m^3

substituting values

          m =  1697.6 ( 1.29  - 0.179)

         m =  1886.0  \ kg

Now the mass of the cargo is mathematically evaluated as

        M  =  1886.0 - 1697.6

        M  =  188.43 \ kg

A certain 100W light bulb has an efficiency of 95%. How much thermal energy will this light bulb add to the inside of a room in
Usimov [2.4K]
Since the bulb consumes 100 watts of power and its efficiency is 95%,
it generates 95 watts of light energy and 5 watts of heat energy whenever
it's turned on.

5 watts means  5 joules of energy per second.

(2.5 hours) x (3,600 seconds/hour) =  9,000 seconds

(9,000 seconds) x (5 joules/second)  =  45,000 joules of heat in 2.5 hours
