Answer:

Frequency determines the pitch we perceive. Amplitude determines the volume, and loudness perceived (see more detail below)

Explanation:

A most fundamental wave shape is the sine (or cosine). A sine wave has three parameters: (1) frequency, (2) phase, and (3) amplitude. Out of the three, two play a role in your question, as follows.

The frequency, namely the number of periods (repetitions) per second, is perceived by our ear of "the pitch." The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch. However, our ears perceive pitch as a logarithm of the physical frequency. Every doubling of the frequency causes us to hear the pitch to increase by one octave.

The volume is determined by the amplitude of the wave. The higher the amplitude (positive or negative) the higher the volume. Our ears perceive volume as "loudness" and, again, not linearly - some frequencies are perceived as louder than others, even though they have the same physical volume. Frequencies between about 200 and 2000 Hz are perceived as louder than the rest of the audible spectrum (between 20 and 20000 Hz).

Interestingly, the phase does not play all too prominent role in perception, at least as far as music and speech are concerned.

The radiations detected by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson
were the original heat from the Big Bang.

Today, we call those waves the "Cosmic Microwave Background".

I'm not sure, but I think those guys were awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics
for that discovery.

Answer:

The solution(s) are in order with respect to the attachments

2.613\:\cdot10^5 Joules ; 5. Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature ; 2. Same speed in both ; 2. A

Explanation:

Diagram 1 ( Liquid Nitrogen ) : So as you can see, we want our units in Joules here, and can therefore multiply the mass of gaseous nitrogen and the latent heat of liquid nitrogen, to cancel the units kg, and receive our solution - in terms of Joules. Let's do it.

q ( energy removed ) = mass of nitrogen * latent heat of liquid nitrogen,

q = 1.3 kg * 2.01 * 10⁵ J / kg = 1.3\:\cdot \:2.01\:\cdot \:\:10^5 = 10^5\cdot \:2.613 = 100000\cdot \:2.613 = 261300 Joules = 261.3 kiloJoules = 2.613 * 10⁵Joules is the energy that must be removed

Diagram 2 : The same amount of heat does not necessarily mean the same increase in temperature for two different objects. The increase in temperature depends on the specific heat capacity of the substance. Therefore your solution is 5 ) Adding the same amount of heat to two different objects will produce the same increase in temperature.

Diagram 3 : The temperatures in both glasses are the same, and hence the molecules have the same average speed. Therefore your solution is 2 ) Same speed in both.

Diagram 4 : Glass A has more water molecules, and hence has more thermal energy. Your solution is 2 ) A.

A toy gun uses a spring to project a 4.5-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1.93 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass = 4.5g = 0.0045kg

Spring constant = 8.0 N/m

Length of barrel = 13 cm = 0.013m

Frictional force = 0.035N

Compression = 5.8 cm = 0.058m

First, we find the P. E. stored in the spring:

P. E. = ½*k*x²

P. E. = ½ * 8 * 0.058² = 0.013J

Then, we find the work done by the frictional force while the sphere is leaving the barrel of the gun:

Work = Force * distance

The distance here is the length of the barrel.

Work = 0.035 * 0.13 = 0.0046 J

The kinetic energy of the sphere can now be found:

K. E. = P. E. - Work done

K. E. = 0.013 - 0.0046 = 0.0084J

We can now find the speed using the formula for K. E.:

K. E. = ½*m*v²

0.0084 = ½ * 0.0045 * v²

v² = 0.0084/0.00255 = 3.733

=> v = 1.93 m/s
