Explain how an electrical wet cell functions.

1 answer:

3 0

The chemical reaction causes electricity to flow through the terminals to the load attached. Some of the acid in the battery remains on the plates as it flows through. When the battery is recharged the acid is returned to the liquid solution to provide more power later.

Answer:

4000 km

Explanation:

as we know velocity of electromagnetic wave is c

$c = 3 * 10^8 m/s$

frequency given (f) = 76 Hz

wavelength ?

using

$c =f$ λ

λ = $\frac{c}{f}$

λ = $\frac{3 * 10^8}{76}$ ≈4000 km

so final answer λ = 4000km

Which of the following describes the effect of a convex mirror on light rays?

natulia [17]

B. It reflects light rays outward.

A convex mirror looks like this ⊂. So when light rays hit the outward curves, it bends the light rays outwards, and backwards, and it would appear to be coming from its center called the focus.

Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of

Harman [31]

Answer:

4 smaller disks

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of smaller and larger disks = M

Radius of smaller disk = R

Radius of larger disk = 4R

Formula for moment of inertia about cylinder axis is:

I = ½MR²

Thus;

For small disk, I_small = ½MR²

For large disk, I_large = ½M(2R)² = 2MR²

We are told that moment of inertia of System A consists of two of the larger disks. Thus;

I_A = 2 × I_large = 2 × 2MR²

I_A = 4MR²

We are also told that System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks. Thus;

I_B = I_large + n(I_small)

Where n is the number of smaller disks.

I_B = 2MR² + n(½MR²)

I_B = MR²(2 + n/2)

We are told that the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B. Thus;

I_A = I_B

So;

4MR² = MR²(2 + n/2)

MR² will cancel out to give;

4 = 2 + n/2

Multiply through by 2 to give;

8 = 4 + n

n = 8 - 4

n = 4

Please help me with this question :

aalyn [17]

Answer:

514.27 ( wavelength )

the color is green

602.93 nm ( orange color )

the observation is that there is a change of visible color

Explanation:

A) wavelength of visible light that is most strongly reflected from a point on a soap

refraction n = 1.33

wall thickness (t) = 290 nm

2nt = (2m +1 ) ∝/2 -----equation 1

note when m = 0

therefore ∝ = 4nt/ 1 = 4 * 1.33 * 290 = 1542.8nm we will discard this

when m = 1

equation 1 becomes

∝ = 4nt/3 =( 4 * 1.33 * 290) / 3 = 1542.8 / 3 = 514.27 ( wavelength )

the color is green

B) the wavelength when the wall thickness is 340 nm

∝ = 4nt / 2m +1

where m = 1

∝ = (4 * 1.33 * 340 ) / 3 = 1808.8 / 3 = 602.93 nm ( orange color )

the observation is that there is a change of visible color

One of the most efficient engines built so far has the following characteristics: combustion chamber temperature = 1900°C, exhau

suter [353]

Answer:

actual efficiency is 47.78 %

Carnot efficiency is 67.65 %

power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 1900°C = 1900+ 273 K = 2173 K

exhaust temperature = 430°C = 430 + 273 K = 703 K

fuel = 7.0 × 10^9 cal

work = 1.4 × 10^10 J

to find out

actual efficiency and Carnot efficiency and power output of engine

solution

first we find actual efficiency that is = work / heat input

put the value and

input energy = 7.0 × 10^9 cal (4.184 J/1 cal) = 29.29 × 10^9 J

actual efficiency = 1.4 × 10^10 / ( 29.29 × 10^9 )

actual efficiency = 0.4778

actual efficiency is 47.78 %

and

Carnot efficiency is = 1 - ( 703 / 2173 )

so Carnot efficiency is = 0.67648

Carnot efficiency is 67.65 %

and

power output = work / time

power output = 1.4 × 10^10 / 3600 sec

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W / 746 hp

so power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp
