Determine the frequency of light whose wavelength is 4.257 x 10-7 cm
marin [14]

v =  f (wavelength)i don't know what symbol ya'll use for wavelength so i just put the word instead.We use the greek symbol lambda.So just plug in everything you know.
wavelength=4.257×10^-7x10^-2 and
v=speed of light = 3×10^8
So you should get f= 7.04 ×10^15Hz

5. A stream of air at 12 bar and 900 K is mixed with another stream of air at 2 bar and 400 K with 2 times the mass flowrate. If
Softa [21]

Answer:

The anserrs to the question are

(a)  The temperature would be 566.67  K and

(b) The pressure of the resulting air stream is 14 bar

Explanation:

Here the two streams of gases meet ad form a single stream

The steady-flow energy equation can be implemented at the mixing point of the to streams as follows

mₐhₐ₁ + mₙ hₙ₁ + Q° + W° = mₐhₐ₂ + mₙhₙ₂

Where the flow is adiabatic, we have

Q = 0 and  W = 0  hence

mₐhₐ₁ + mₙ hₙ₁ = mₐhₐ₂ + mₙhₙ₂ where h = cp×T we have

mₐcpₐ×Tₐ + mₙcpₙ×Tₙ  = mₐcpₐ×T + mₐcpₙ×T

Therefore the final temperature T is given by

T = \frac{m_ac_{pa}T_a + m_nc_{pn}T_n}{m_ac_{pa} + m_nc_{pn}}  for the same kind of gas cpₐ =cpₙ therefore

T = \frac{m_aT_a + m_nT_n}{m_a + m_n} where mₐ and mₙ are mass flow rate

Therefore we have where Tₐ = = 900 K and Tₙ = 400 K and mₙ = 2mₐ gives

T = \frac{m_a*900 + 2*m_a*400}{m_a + 2*m_a} = T = \frac{900 + 800}{1 + 2} = 1700/3 = 566.67 K  

From Dalton's law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the components of the mixture

Therefore the total pressure of the combined stream = pₐ + pₙ = p

= 12 bar + 2 bar = 14 bar

Stream pressure = 14 bar

A carnot heat engine receives 600 kj of heat from a source of unknown temperature and rejects 175 kj of it to a sink at 20°c. de
oee [108]

(b) 71%

The thermal efficiency of a Carnot heat engine is given by:

\eta = \frac{W}{Q_{in}}

where

W is the useful work done by the engine

Q_{in} is the heat in input to the machine

In this problem, we have:

Q_{in}=600 kJ is the heat absorbed

W=600 kJ-175 kJ=425 kJ is the work done (175 kJ is the heat released to the sink, therefore the work done is equal to the difference between the heat in input and the heat released)

So, the efficiency is

\eta = \frac{425 kJ}{600 kJ}=0.71 = 71\%

(a) 737^{\circ}C

The efficiency of an engine can also be rewritten as

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}

where

T_C is the absolute temperature of the cold sink

T_H is the temperature of the source

In this problem, the temperature of the sink is

T_C = 20^{\circ}C + 273=293 K

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the temperature of the source:

T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta}=\frac{293 K}{1-0.71}=1010 K\\T_H = 1010 K - 273=737^{\circ}C

does it require more energy to brew 12 cups with the coffee-maker or reheat 12 cups of coffee in a microwave?
Leni [432]
It would take more energy to reheat 12 cups because only 1 or 2 cups can fit in a microwave rather an than brewing 12 cups in a coffee pot.

A watermelon is thrown down from a skyscraper with a speed of 7.0 m/s. It lands with an impact velocity of 20 m/s. We can ignore
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

17.89 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motion can be expressed as:

v² = u² + 2as,

where

v = final velocity = given as 20 m/s

u = initial velocity = given as 7.0 m/s

a = acceleration. Since it is freefalling downwards, the acceleration it would experience would be the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

s = displacement (we are asked to find)

simply substitute the known values into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

20² = 7² + 2(9.81)s

400 - 49 = 19.62s

19.62s = 351

s = 351/19.62

s = 17.8899

s = 17.89 m/s
