Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is related to its wavelength and speed by the equation

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

f is the frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem,

v = 2 m/s

$\lambda=8 m$

So the frequency is

$f=\frac{2}{8}=0.25 Hz$

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency, so for this wave:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4 s$

This means that the wave takes 4 seconds to complete one full cycle.

Therefore, the time taken for the wave to go from a point with displacement +A to a point with displacement -A is half the period, therefore for this wave:

$t=\frac{T}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2 s$

Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a layer of still air that is 1 mm thick, with an area of 1 m, for a temperature of

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

Explanation:

Given:

Thickness of the still air layer (L) = 1 mm

Area of the still air = 1 m

Temperature of the still air ( T) = 20°C

Thermal conductivity of still air (K) at 20°C = 25.87mW/mK

Rate of heat conduction (Q) = ?

To determine the rate of heat conduction through the still air, we apply the formula below.

$Q =\frac{KA(\delta T)}{L}$

$Q =\frac{25.87*1*20}{1}$

Q = 517.4 W

Therefore, the rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

A 2 m tall, 0.5 m inside diameter tank is filled with water. A 10 cm hole is opened 0.75 m from the bottom of the tank. What is

valina [46]

Answer:

4.75 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the existing water is shown below:

Data provided in the question

Tall = 2 m

Inside diameter tank = 2m

Hole opened = 10 cm

Bottom of the tank = 0.75 m

Based on the above information, first we have to determine the height which is

= 2 - 0.75 - 0.10

= 2 - 0.85

= 1.15 m

We assume the following things

1. Compressible flow

2. Stream line followed

Now applied the Bernoulli equation to section 1 and 2

So we get

$\frac{P_1}{p_g} + \frac{v_1^2}{2g} + z_1 = \frac{P_2}{p_g} + \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + z_2$

where,

P_1 = P_2 = hydrostatic

z_1 = 0

z_2 = h

Now

$\frac{v_1^2}{2g} + 0 = \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + h\\\\V_2 < < V_1 or V_2 = 0\\\\Therefore\ \frac{v_1^2}{2g} = h\\\\v_1^2 = 2gh\\\\ v_1 = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v_1 = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.15}$
