Answer: Hello there! The standard unit of work in the metric system, the joule, is named after the James Prescott Joule (1819 -1889), where a joule is j = \frac{kg*m}{s^{2} }. He was a physicist who did a lot of work with thermodynamics, for example, he worked on the Joule-Thomson effect.

A sled slides along a horizontal surface on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25. Its velocity at point A is 8.4 m/
Bad White [126]

Answer:

1.06 secs

Explanation:

Initial speed of sled, u = 8.4 m/s

Final speed of sled, v = 5.8 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.25

Using the impulse momentum theory, we know that the impulse applied to the sled is equal to change in momentum of the sled:

FΔt = mv - mu

where m = mass of the object

Δt = time interval

F = force applied

The force applied on the sled is the frictional force, which is given as:

F = -μmg

where g = acceleration due to gravity

Therefore:

-μmgΔt =  mv - mu

-μmgΔt = m(v - u)

-μgΔt = v - u

Making Δt subject of formula:

Δt = (v - u) / -μg

Δt = (5.8 - 8.4) / (-0.25 * 9.8)

Δt = -2.6/ -2.45

Δt = 1.06 secs

It took the sled 1.06 secs to travel from A to B.

two punds of water vapor at 30 psia fill the 4ft3 left chmaber of a partitioned system. The right chmaber has twice the volume o
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

pressure of water will be 49.7 atm

Explanation:

given data

pressure = 30 psi = 2.04 atm

water = 2 pound = 907.18

mole of water vapor = 907.19 /2 = 50.4 mole

volume = 4 ft³ = 113.2 L

temperature = 40 F = 277.59 K

to find out

pressure of water

solution

we will apply here ideal gas condition

that is

PV = nRT  .......................1

put here all value and here R = 0.0821 , T temperature and V volume and P pressure and n is no of mole

and we get here temperature

PV = nRT  

2.04 × 113.2 = 50.4×0.0821×T

solve it and we get

T = 55.8 K

so we have given right chamber has twice the volume of the left chamber i.e

volume = twice of volume + volume

volume = 2(113.2) + 113.2

volume = 339.6 L

so from equation 1 pressure will be

PV = nRT

P(339.6) = 50.4 × ( 0.0821) × (277.59)

P = 3.3822 atm = 49.7 atm

so pressure of water will be 49.7 atm

Wind instruments like trumpets and saxophones work on the same principle as the "tube closed on one end" that we examined in our
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

 f = v / 4L

the frequency of the instruments is reduced by the decrease in the speed of the wave with the temperature.

Explanation:

In wind instruments the wave speed must meet

          v = λ f

          λ = v / f

from v is the speed of sound that depends on the temperature

          v = v₀ \sqrt{1+ \frac{T [C]}{273} }

where I saw the speed of sound at 0ºC v₀ = 331 m/s  the temperature is in degrees centigrade, we can take the degrees Fahrenheit to centigrade with the relation

            (F -32) 5/9 = C

            76ºF = 24.4ºC

            45ºF = 7.2ºC

           

With this relationship we can see that the speed of sound is significantly reduced when leaving the house to the outside

at T₁ = 24ºC               v₁ = 342.9 m / s

at T₂ = 7ºC                 v₂ = 339.7 m / s

To satisfy this speed the wavelength of the sound must be reduced, so the resonant frequencies change

              λ / 4 = L

              λ= 4L

              v / f = 4L

              f = v / 4L

Therefore, the frequency of the instruments is reduced by the decrease in the speed of the wave with the temperature.
