Typical residential shower controls mix streams of hot water (140 F, or 60 C) with cold water (60 F, or 15 C) to form a stream o

f 40 C (104 F) water. The entire system loses energy to the surroundings at a rate of 5 kJ/kg of exiting water. What is the ratio of cold water-to-hot water mass flow rates necessary to provide the 40 C water?

Answer:

  4:5

Explanation:

Let x represent the fraction of the mix that is hot water. Then the temperature of the mix is ...

  60x +15(1-x) = 40·1

  45x = 25 . . . . . . . . . subtract 15

  x = 25/45 = 5/9 . . . divide by the coefficient of x

This is the fraction that is hot water, so the fraction that is cold water is ...

  1-5/9 = 4/9

The ratio of cold to hot is ...

  cold : hot = (4/9) : (5/9) = 4 : 5

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

The problem assumes that the energy contained in a given mass of water is proportional to its temperature. That is almost true, sufficiently so that we can reasonably use that approximation.

If heat loss is figured into the problem, then additional information is needed regarding the energy content of water at temperatures in the range of interest. That is not provided by this problem statement, so we have ignored the heat loss.

What is the wavelength of radiation emitted when an electron goes from the n = 7 to the n = 4 level of the Bohr hydrogen atom? G
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

the wavelength of radiation emitted  is \mathbf{\lambda= 2169.62 \ nm}

Explanation:

The energy of the Bohr's hydrogen atom can be expressed with the formula:

\mathtt{E_n =- \dfrac{13.6\ ev}{n^2}}

For n = 7:

\mathtt{E_7 =- \dfrac{13.6\ ev}{7^2}}

\mathtt{E_7 =-0.27755 \ eV}

For n = 4

\mathtt{E_4=- \dfrac{13.6\ ev}{4^2}}

\mathtt{E_4 =- 0.85\ eV}

The  electron goes from the n = 7 to the n = 4, then :

\mathtt{E_7-E_4 = (-0.27755 - (-0.85) ) \ eV}

\mathtt{= 0.57245\ eV}

Wavelength of the radiation emitted:

\mathtt{\lambda= \dfrac{hc}{0.57245 \ eV}}

where;

hc  = 1242 eV.nm

\mathtt{\lambda= \dfrac{1242 \ eV.nm }{0.57245 \ eV}}

\mathbf{\lambda= 2169.62 \ nm}

Does sound travel faster in a warm room or a cold room? Explain your answer.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sound travels outwards from the source in all directions. So there you have it sound does travel faster in warm air BUT it may appear to travel farther in cold air. This is how that works……if the air close to the ground is colder than the air above it then sound waves travelling upwards will be bent downwards.

Every spring has an equilibrium position. Which statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position? Check all that apply.
rjkz [21]

The statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position is the elastic potential energy is zero, the displacement of the spring is at a maximum and the net force acting on the spring is zero.

<h3>What is the equilibrium position?</h3>

A body is in equilibrium when the sum of all forces acting on it equals zero. According to Newton's First Law, when resulting from the laws that act on a body that remains in a state of restriction or in motion in its motion, it remains uniformly null.

In this case the only statements that match the definition of equilibrium position are:

  • The elastic potential energy is zero.
  • The displacement of the spring is at a maximum.
  • The net force acting on the spring is zero.
