A sound wave with a frequency of 400 Hz is moving through a solid object. If the wavelength of the sound wave is 8 m, what is th

e speed of sound traveling through the solid object?
Physics
1 answer:
Paraphin [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

v = 3200 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the sound wave is given as

f = 400 Hz

wavelength of the sound wave is given as

\lambda = 8 m

so now we have

speed = wavelength \times frequency

so we will have

v = (8m) \times (400 Hz)

v = 3200 m/s

A piano of mass 852 kg is lifted to a height of 3.5 m. How much gravitational potential energy is added to the piano? Accelerati
slega [8]

Answer:

29223.6J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Piano = 852kg

Height of lifting  = 3.5m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be expressed as the energy due to the position of a body;

  G.P.E  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

 Now insert the given parameters and solve;

   G.P.E  = 852 x 9.8 x 3.5 = 29223.6J

Steam enters the condenser of a steam power plant at 20kPa and a quality of 95% with a mass flow rate of 20,000kg/h. It is to be
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The mass rate of the cooling water required is: 1'072988.5\frac{kg}{h}

Explanation:

First, write the energy balance for the condensator: The energy that enters to the equipment is the same that goes out from it; consider that there is no heat transfer to the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy changes are despreciable.

{m_{w}}*{h_{w}}^{in}+m_s{h_{s}}^{in}=m_w{h_{w}}^{out}+m_s{h_{s}}^{out}

Where w refers to the cooling water and s to the steam flow. Reorganizing,

m_w({h_{w}}^{out}-{h_{w}}^{in})=m_s({h_{s}}^{in}-{h_{s}}^{out})\\m_w=\frac{m_s({h_{s}}^{in}-{h_{s}}^{out})}{({h_{w}}^{out}-{h_{w}}^{in})}

Write the difference of enthalpy for water as Cp (Tout-Tin):

m_w=\frac{m_s({h_{s}}^{in}-{h_{s}}^{out})}{C_{pw}({T_{w}}^{out}-{T_{w}}^{in})}

This equation will let us to calculate the mass rate required. Now, let's get the enthalpy and Cp data. The enthalpies can be read from the steam tables (I attach the tables I used). According to that, {h_{s}}^{out}=251.40\frac{kJ}{kg} and {h_{s}}^{in} can be calculated as:

{h_{s}}^{in}={h_{f}}+x{h_{fg}}=251.40+0.95*2358.3=2491.8\frac{kJ}{kg}.

The Cp of water at 25ºC (which is the expected average temperature for water) is: 4.176 \frac{kJ}{kgK}. If the average temperature is actually different, it won't mean a considerable mistake. Also we know that {T_{w}}^{out}-{T_{w}}^{in}\leq 10, so let's work with the limit case, which is {T_{w}}^{out}-{T_{w}}^{in}=10 to calculate the minimum cooling water mass rate required (A higher one will give a lower temperature difference as a result). Finally, replace data:

m_w=\frac{20000\frac{kg}{h}(2491.8-251.40)\frac{kJ}{kg} }{4.176\frac{kJ}{kgK} (10C)}=1'072988.5\frac{kg}{h}

A copper sphere was moving at 40 m/s when it hit another object. This caused all of the KE to be converted into thermal energy f
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Temperature increase = 2.1 [C]

Explanation:

We need to identify the initial data of the problem.

v = velocity of the copper sphere = 40 [m/s]

Cp = heat capacity = 387 [J/kg*C]

The most important data given is the fact that when the shock occurs kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy, therefore it will have to be:

E_{k}=Q\\ E_{k}= kinetic energy [J]\\Q=thermal energy [J]\\Re-employment values and equalizing equations\\\\\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}=m*C_{p}*dT  \\The masses are canceled \\\\dT=\frac{v^{2}}{C_{p} *2} \\dT=2.1 [C]
