Compare and contrast the two different types of mechanical waves?

Physics

prohojiy [21]3 years ago
5 0
There are longitudinal and transverse.  Both types of mechanical waves require a medium, transport energy, and have defined wavelengths, frequencies, and speeds.
Differences are that transverse waves oscillate along a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel (like shaking a rope up and down).  Longitudinal waves like oscillations along a spring and sound waves, oscillate back and forth along the direction of travel.

2.5kg of water (C = 4189 J/(Kg x K)) is heated from T1 = 13.5 C to T2 = 22.5 C
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

338 K

Explanation:

m_{1} = 2.5 kg, c = 4189 J/(kg K), T_{1} = 13.5 ^{o} C, T_{2} = 22.5 ^{o} C

m_{2} = 0.5 kg, T_{3} = 20 ^{o} C

Heat loss by hotter water = heat gained by cooler water

m_{1}cΔT = m_{2}cΔT

m_{1}c(T_{2} - T_{1}) = m_{2}c(T_{4} - T_{3})

2.5 x 4189 x (22.5 - 13.5) = 0.5 x 4189 x (T_{4} - 20)

2.5 x 4189 x 9 = 2094.5 (T_{4} - 20)

94252.5 = 2094.5T_{4} - 41890

94252.5 + 41890 = 2094.5T_{4}

136142.5 = 2094.5T_{4}

T_{4} = \frac{136142.5}{2094.5}

    = 65

T_{4}  = 65 ^{o} C

But,

θ K = 273 + θ^{o} C

      = 273 + 65

      = 338

The final temperature of the water is 338 K.
