Answer:

The motion of air particle caused by sound wave is vibrational and cannot create breeze because breeze involves translational motion (permanent displacement) of the air particles.

Explanation:

This sound wave results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of air through which the sound wave is moving. The sound wave causes disturbance within the particles of air by transfering energy from one particle to the adjacent particles of air without causing permanent displacement of the particles of air. The motion between these particles of air caused by sound wave is vibrational, while breeze involves displacement of particles of air through translational motion. Hence, breeze is a moving mass of air.

Thus, the motion of air particle caused by sound wave is vibrational and cannot create breeze because breeze involves translational motion (permanent displacement) of the air particles.

A 49-year-old female was referred for mammography, but she is very apprehensive after reading about the risk of ionizing radiati
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Mammography is the process in which low energy radiations are used to diagnose and screening. The purpose of this process is the early detection of the breast cancer. These low energy radiations may have some risks like damaging and burning of cells.  

In the current scenario, woman is apprehensive because she has read about the risks of using ionizing radiations. The radiographer should tell her the benefits of the mammography will outweigh its potential consequences. Screening, for instance, will let her know if she is suffering from breast cancer. Cancer is very dangerous disease as compare to very small burning.

In this way radiographer should handle the situation.

A rigid tank contains 1 kg of air (ideal gas) at 15 °C and 210 kPa. A paddle wheel supplies work input to the air such that fina
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

-58.876 kJ

Explanation:

m = mass of air = 1 kg

T₁ = Initial temperature = 15°C

T₂ = Final temperature = 97°C

Cp = Specific heat at constant pressure = 1.005 kJ/kgk

Cv = Specific heat at constant volume = 0.718 kJ/kgk

W = Work done

Q = Heat = 0 (since it is not mentioned we are considering adiabatic condition)

ΔU = Change in internal energy

Q = W+ΔU

⇒Q = W+mCvΔT

⇒0 = W+mCvΔT

⇒W = -mCvΔT

⇒Q = -1×0.718×(97-15)

⇒Q = -58.716 kJ

A flatbed truck is carrying a 20.0 kg crate along a level road. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>3.92 m/s^2 Assuming that the local gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, then the maximum acceleration that the truck can have is the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration, so 0.4 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 m/s^2 If you want the more complicated answer, the normal force that the crate exerts is it's mass times the local gravitational acceleration, so 20.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 196 kg*m/s^2 = 196 N Multiply by the coefficient of static friction, giving 196 N * 0.4 = 78.4 N So we need to apply 78.4 N of force to start the crate moving. Let's divide by the crate's mass 78.4 N / 20.0 kg = 78.4 kg*m/s^2 / 20.0 kg = 3.92 m/s^2 And you get the same result.</span>
