Why does sound travel faster under water??

1 answer:

5 0

In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

39 g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.904 J/g·°C) at 24°C is placed in 166 mL (166 g) of coffee at 83°C and the temperature of th

tatuchka [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of the solution is $80.14^oC$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The amount of heat released by coffee will be absorbed by aluminium spoon.

Thus, $\text{heat}_{absorbed}=\text{heat}_{released}$

To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

Also,

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ ..........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of aluminium = 39 g

$m_2$ = mass of coffee = 166 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = ?

$T_1$ = temperature of aluminium = $24^oC$

$T_2$ = temperature of coffee = $83^oC$

$c_1$ = specific heat of aluminium = $0.904J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of coffee= $4.1801J/g^oC$

Putting all the values in equation 1, we get:

$39\times 0.904\times (T_{final}-24)=-[166\times 4.1801\times (T_{final}-83)]$

$T_{final}=80.14^oC$

Hence, the final temperature of the solution is $80.14^oC$

A mosquito can fly with a speed of 1.10 m/s with respect to the air. Suppose a mosquito flies east at this speed across a swamp.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

The velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

Explanation:

V(ma) = 1.10 m/s, east Velocity of mosquito with respect to air

V(ae) = 1.4 m/s at 35° Velocity of air with respect to Earth in west of south direction.

Velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be

V(me) = V(ma) + V(ae)

We need to find the mosquito’s speed with respect to Earth in the x direction.

V(x, me) = V(x, ma) + V(x, ae) = V(ma) + V(ae)(cos theta(ae) )

Angle (ae) = –90.0° − 35°=−125°

V(x, me) = 1.10 + (1.4)Cos(-125)

= 1.10 + 1.4(-0.57)

= 1.10 -0.798

= 0.302

So the velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

A child\'s top is held in place, upright on a frictionless surface. The axle has a radius of r = 2.96 mm. Two strings are wrappe

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius r=2.96 mm

Tension T=2.4 N

time taken=0.74 s

Let $\alpha$ be the angular acceleration

$2 T\times r=I\times \alpha$

$2\times 2.4\times 2.96\times 10^{-3}=0.5\times m\times (2.96\times 10^{-3})^2\times \alpha$

$\alpha =\frac{4\times 2.4}{m\times 2.96\times 10^{-3}}$

$\alpha =\frac{3.24\times 10^3}{m} rad/s^2$

$\omega =\omega _0+\alpha \cdot t$

$\omega =0+\frac{3.24\times 10^3}{m}\times 0.74$

$\omega =\frac{2.4\times 10^3}{m} rad/s$

Angular momentum

$L=I\omega$

$L=0.5\times mr^2\times \omega$

$L=0.5\times m\times (2.96\times 10^{-3})^2\times \frac{2.4\times 10^3}{m}$

$L=0.01051 kg-m^2/s$

A 12-V battery is connected across a 100-Ω resistor. How many electrons flow through the wire in 1.0 min?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The quantity of charge or electron flowing the wire in the given time is 4.5 x 10¹⁹ electrons.

Explanation:

Given;

emf of the battery, V = 12 V

resistance of the resistor, R = 100-Ω

time of current flow, t = 1 min

charge of 1 electron = 1.602 x 10¹⁹ C

The current through this circuit is given by;

I = V / R

I = (12) / (100)

I = 0.12 A

The quantity of charge or electron flowing the wire in the given time is calculated as;

Q =It

where;

I is the current flowing through the wire

t is the time of current flow = 1 x 60s = 60 s

Q = 0.12 x 60

Q = 7.2 C

1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C --------------- 1 electron

7.2 C -----------------------------? electron

$= \frac{7.2 }{1.602*10^{-19}} \\\\= 4.5*10^{19} \ electrons$

Therefore, the quantity of charge or electron flowing the wire in the given time is 4.5 x 10¹⁹ electrons.
