Answer:a) Water is relatively resistant to an increase in temperature

Explanation:

Water has relatively high heat capacity i.e. it requires high amount of heat to raise a little increase in temperature.

Heat capacity is defined as ability of molecule to absorb heat . Mathematically heat capacity is defined as

C=\frac{Q}{\Delta T}

where C=heat\ capacity

Q=heat\ interaction

\Delta T=change\ in\ Temperature

   This is a simple matter of division. I also suspect it's an exercise in scientific notation, so here is how you divide in scientific notation:

   9.6 x 10^6 m / 3x10^8 m/s

   First, divide the significands like you would normally.
 9.6 / 3 = 3.2

   And subtract the exponent. So
 6 - 8 = -2

   So the answer is 3.2 x 10^-2
 And since the significand is less than 10 and at least 1, we don't need to normalize it.

   So it takes 3.2x10^-2 seconds for the radio signal to reach the satellite.</span>

The amplitude of a standing sound wave in a long pipe closed at the left end is sketched below. The vertical axis is the maximum
Rudiy27

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

A) 7th Harmonic. (Of an open ended pipe, odd harmonics are allowed (3rd overtone))

b) f = n v / 4 L

n = 7

f = 7 x 350 / 4 x 0.41 = 1493.9 Hz

c) Let level of water H, If reduces the effective length of pipe

Using, f = n v / 4 Leff

n = 1

251.8 = 1 x 350 / 4 ( 0.41 - H)

H = 0.0625m

H = 6.25 cm
