Answer:

A-the energy of the wave decreases gradually

Explanation:

when a wave is acted upon by an external damping force the energy of the wave decreases gradually.

The energy degrades into the form of heat which is considered to be of less value and use. The reason is because it disperses and spreads more widely.

So therefore it end up as heat with a little sound but that is close to none because that too disperses into heat i.e. decreased form of energy.

A mass of 0.1 kg of helium fills a 0.2 m3 rigid tank at 350 kPa. The vessel is heated until the pressure is 700 kPa. Calculate t

QveST [7]

Explanation:

(a) First, we will calculate the number of moles as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}$

Molar mass of helium is 4 g/mol and mass is given as 0.1 kg or 100 g (as 1 kg = 1000 g).

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{\text{100 g}}{4 g/mol}$

= 25 mol

According to the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

or, $(P_{2} - P_{1})V = nR (T_{2} - T_{1})$

$(6.90 atm - 3.45 atm) \times 200 L = 25 \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \Delta T$

$\Delta T$ = 336.17 K

Hence, temperature change will be 336.17 K.

(b) The total amount of heat required for this process will be calculated as follows.

q = $mC \Delta T$

= $100 g \times 5.193 J/g K \times 336.17 K$

= 174573.081 J/K

or, = 174.57 kJ/K (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, the amount of total heat required is 174.57 kJ/K.

What is the frequency of a wave that has a period of vibration of 2 seconds?

34kurt

Answer:

The answer is 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

Its pretty easy to get the answer. One hertz (Hz) is equal to one cycle or period per second. So, just divide the period by the number of seconds.

1 period/2 secs = 1/2 Hz or 0.5 Hz
