That's called the "work" done on the object.

A gas undergoes two processes. In the first, the volume remains constant at 0.200 m3 and the pressure increases from 1.00×105 Pa
Alborosie
<h2>The work done = - 2 x 10⁴ J</h2>

Explanation:

In the first case , the volume is kept constant and pressure varies .

In isothermal process  , the work done

W₁ = V x ΔP

here V is the volume of gas and ΔP is the change in pressure

Thus W₁ = 0

Because there is no change in volume , therefore displacement is zero .

In second case pressure is constant , but volume changes

Thus W₂ = P x ΔV

here P is the pressure  and ΔV is the change in volume

Therefore W₂ = 4 x 10⁵ x 5 x 10⁻² = 2 x 10⁴ J

The total work done W = - 2 x 10⁴ J

Because the work done in compression is negative .

Sonar is a device that uses reflected sound waves to measure underwater depths. If a sonar signal has a frequency of 288 Hz and
mart [117]

Answer:

5.03 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is given by

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

For the sonar signal in this problem,

f=288 Hz

v=1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s

Substituting into the equation, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s}{288 Hz}=5.03 m

Why do the heights of the tides change over the course of a month?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The heights of the tides change over the course of a month due to -

<u>the position of Sun , Moon and Earth .</u>

Explanation:

Tides are formed due to the gravitational attraction of the sun and the moon on the surface of the Earth .

Since , the Moon is closer to Earth as compared to the Sun , Hence , Moon has greater attraction on Earth than Sun .

Moon plays an important role for producing the Tides .

In every 27.3 days , the Earth and the Moon revolves around the common point .

Therefore , in every 27.3 days , a new tidal cycle forms .

Two types of tides are possible , high tide and low tides .

In a day , two high tide and two low tide occurs ,

And because of the angle of Moon with respect to Earth , the two high tides do not have the same height . same for the case of two low tide .

The height of tides differ in the height on a daily basis .

How does absorption spectra occur?
Arlecino [84]

An absorption spectrum occurs when light passes through a cold, dilute gas and atoms in the gas absorb at characteristic frequencies; since the re-emitted light is unlikely to be emitted in the same direction as the absorbed photon, this gives rise to dark lines (absence of light) in the spectrum.

hope this helped :)
