What is a travelling wave and a standing wave? What are the differences between both of them?

Answer: First of all we have to understand that a traveling wave is an organized disturbance traveling with a well defined wave speed. On the other hand standing waves are the combination of period waves with their reflected waves creating double sided waves. The differences between them is that standing waves have nodes and antinodes while a traveling wave does not.

I hope it helps, Regards.

I always hear a difference between transverse and longitudinal waves, and, standing and traveling waves, but for me, transverse and standing waves looks very similar; and i can't seem to find out what is the difference.

both has nodes and antinodes, thus the change in amplitude as you go about the wave, and all the points between 2 nodes are in phase.

WhAT is the change IN THE entropy of 2.0kg of h2o molecules when transform at a constant pressure of 1 atm from water at 100 deg

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The entropy change is 45.2 kJ/K.

Explanation:

mass of water at 100 C = 2 kg

Latent heat of vaporization, L = 2260 kJ/kg

Heat is

H = m L

H = 2 x 2260 = 4520 kJ

Entropy is given by

S = H/T = 4520/100 = 45.2 kJ/K

Amazon rectangular bar of low carbon steel A-36 is exposed to an axial strees of 150 MPa. What is the original length of the bar

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

1.8m

Explanation:

Let the Elastics of the steel ASTM-36 $E = 200000 MPa$

The strain of the bar when subjected to 150 MPa is

$\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{E} = \frac{150}{200000} = 0.00075$

Therefore, if the bar elongates by 1.35 mm, then the original length L would be:

$\epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L}$

$L = \frac{\Delta L}{\epsilon} = \frac{1.35}{0.00075} = 1800 mm$ or 1.8m

A gas, behaving ideally, has a pressure P1 and at a volume V1. The pressure of the gas is changed to P2. Using Avogadro’s, Charl

Bond [772]

Answer:

Boyle's Law

$\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2$

Explanation:

Given that:

initially:

pressure of gas, $= P_1$

volume of gas, $= V_1$

finally:

pressure of gas, $= P_2$

volume of gas, $= V_2$

To solve for final volume $V_2$

According to Avogadro’s law the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the no. of moles of the gas under a constant temperature and pressure.

According to the Charles' law, at constant pressure the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

But here we have a change in the pressure of the Gas so we cannot apply Avogadro’s law and Charles' law.

Here nothing is said about the temperature, so we consider the Boyle's Law which states that at constant temperature the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Mathematically:

$P_1\propto \frac{1}{V_1}$

$\Rightarrow P_1.V_1=k\ \rm(constant)$

$\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2$
