Oxygen is diatomic, so its degree of freedom, (f1)= 5,
also its number of moles, n1= 1


Helium is monoatomic, so its degree of freedom (f2)= 3 
and its number of moles given is, n2=2

Now using formula of effective degree of freedom of mixture, (f), we have: 

f= (f1n1+f2n2)/(n1+n2)
  =  (5*1 + 3*2)/ (1+3)
   =11/3
Also, from first law of thermodynamics;
U= n Cv. T = nRT(f2)
 or, Cv = R. (f/2) (n & T cancel)

We know f=11/6, 
substituting the value in above relation, we have:

Cv= R. 11/3*2
    = R. 11/6

Also, Cp-Cv = R
 or, Cp- R.(11/6)= R
or, Cp= R(11/6 )+1
          = 17/6 R

Therefore, Cp/Cv = 17/11

Insulators have very high .
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Resistance to electrical currents

Explanation:

Conductors have low resistance to electrical currents, and are used to "conduct" the flow of electricity.

Insulators have very high resistance and are used to protect us from the flow of electricity.

If a short-wave radio station broadcasts on a frequency of 9.065 megahertz (MHz), what is the wavelength of
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one ... Typical radio wave frequencies are about 88~108 MHz .

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, you will be using the equation: Speed of a wave = wavelength X frequency.

Since radio waves are electromagnetic waves and travel at 2.997 X

8

meters/second, then you will need to know the frequency of the radio wave.

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one million hertz. If the radio wave is from an AM radio station, these are in kilohertz (there are one thousand hertz in a kilohertz). Hertz are waves/second. Hertz is usually the label for the frequency of electromagnetic waves.

To conclude, to determine the wavelength of a radio wave, you take the speed and divide it by the frequency.

Typical radio wave frequencies are about

You want to move a 4- kg bookcase to a different place in the living room. If u push with a force of 65 n and the bookcase accel
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1.65

Explanation:

The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:

F-F_f = ma (1)

where

F = 65 N is the force applied with the push

F_f is the frictional force

m = 4 kg is the mass

a=0.12 m/s^2 is the acceleration

The force of friction can be written as F_f = \mu R (2), where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the normal force exerted by the floor

The equation of forces along the vertical direction is

R-mg=0 (3)

since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find

F-\mu mg = ma

And solving for \mu,

\mu = \frac{F-ma}{mg}=\frac{65-(4)(0.12)}{4(9.8)}=1.65
