Why is sound not an electromagnetic wave

Physics
2 answers:
pishuonlain [190]3 years ago

Answer:

There is no sound in space because there are no molecules there to transmit the sound waves. Electromagnetic waves are not like sound waves because they do not need molecules to travel. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel through air, solid objects and even space.

How does Earth's rotation affect our view of stars
bonufazy [111]
Due to rotation of Earth on each day, our East & west gets change in every half day, and comes in it's initial state after a day. So, Stars which are in east relative to a stationary object in the Universe, will be in west relative to Earth after some time, and it changes our view of stars

Hope this helps!

A rigid tank initially contains 3kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) at a pressure of 3bar.The tank is connected by a valve to a friction
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Part a: <em>The total amount of energy transfer by the work done is 54.81 kJ.</em>

Part b: <em>The total amount of energy transfer by the heat is 54.81 kJ</em>

Explanation:

Mass of Carbon Dioxide is given as m1=3 kg

Pressure is given as P1=3 bar =300 kPA

Volume is given as V1=0.5 m^3

Pressure in tank 2 is given as P2=2 bar=200 kPa

T=290 K

Now the Molecular weight of CO_2 is given as

M=44 kg/kmol

the gas constant is given as

R=\frac{\bar{R}}{M}\\R=\frac{8.314}{44}\\R=0.189 kJ/kg.K

Volume of the tank is given as

V=\frac{mRT}{P_1}\\V=\frac{3 \times 0.189 \times 290}{300 }\\V=0.5481 m^3

Final mass is given as

m_2=\frac{P_2V}{RT}\\m_2=\frac{200\times 0.5481}{0.189\times 290}\\m_2=2 kg

Mass of the CO2 moved to the cylinder

m=m_1-m_3\\m=3-2=1 kg

The initial mass in the cylinder is given as

m_{(cyl)_1}=\frac{P_{(cyl)_1}V_1}{RT}\\m_{(cyl)_1}=\frac{200\times 0.5}{0.189 \times 290}\\m_{(cyl)_1}=1.82 kg

The mass after the process is

m_{(cyl)_2}=m_{(cyl)_1}+m\\m_{(cyl)_2}=1.82+1\\m_{(cyl)_2}=2.82\\

Now the volume 2 of the cylinder is given as

V_{(cyl)_2}=\frac{m_{(cyl)_2}RT}{P_2}\\m_{(cyl)_2}=\frac{2.82\times 0.189\times 290}{200}\\m_{(cyl)_1}=0.774 m^3

Part a:

So the Work done is given as

W=P(V_2-V_1)\\W=200(0.774-0.5)\\W=54.81 kJ

<em>The total amount of energy transfer by the work done is 54.81 kJ.</em>

Part b:

The total energy transfer by heat is given as

Q=\Delta U+W\\Q=0+W\\Q=54.81 kJ

As the temperature is constant thus change in internal energy is 0.

<em>The total amount of energy transfer by the heat is 54.81 kJ</em>

If a car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy, what is the maximum efficiency?
stich3 [128]

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

The car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy

So only 35 % is converted into mechanical energy .

input heat = Q₁ = 100

output heat = Q₂ = 65

Work output = Q₁ - Q₂ = W

W = 100 - 65 = 35

Efficiency = W / Q₁ X 100

= (35/ 100) X 100

= 35%.
