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.

Homework 7 Adaptive Follow-Up Problem 25.68 Item 4 Constants A cylindrical copper cable 3.30 km long is connected across a 220.0
xenn [34]

Answer:

 0.446 mm  

0.066 V/m

Explanation:

Given  

We are given the length of the copper cable L = 3.30 km and the potential difference is V = 220 V  

Solution  

(a) We want to find the diameter d of the cable when the dissipated power is P = 50W. The power consumed by the cable depends on its resistance R and it is given by equation in the form

P= V^2/R                                                (1)

Where V is the voltage in the cable. Now let us solve equation (1) for R and plug our values for V and P into equation (1) to get R  

R = V^2/P = (220)^2/(50) = 968Ω

Now we can determine the diameter of the copper wire. The resistance R of the wires depends on the area of the wire, resistivity and the length of the cable. Where equation gives us the relationship between these variables in the form  

R = pL/π*r^2                             (solve for r)

r = √pL/πR                             (2)

Now we can plug our values for Rep and L into equation (2) to get the radius of the cable where p for copper equals 1.72 x 10-8 Ω m

r =√pL/πR                    

 = √1.72 x 10-8 *3300m/968

 = 0.234 mm

Therefore, the diameter is d= 2r = 2(0.234  mm) =  0.446 mm  

(b) To determine the electric field we can use the values for the potential difference across the cable and the length of the cable, where the electric field is inversely proportional to the length of the cable as next  

E =V/L

  =220/3300m

  = 0.066 V/m

How many electrons should be in an atom’s valence shell (with the exception of hydrogen and helium) to become stable? 2 4 6 8.
podryga [215]

Answer:

8

Explanation:

octet rule: Atoms lose, gain, or share electrons in order to have a full valence shell of eight electrons. Hydrogen is an exception because it can hold a maximum of two electrons in its valence level.

Answer: hello question b is incomplete attached below is the missing question

a) attached below

b) V = 0.336 ft/s

Explanation:

Elongation ( Xo)  = 16/ 7 feet

mass attached to 4-foot spring = 16 pounds

medium has 9/2 times instanteous velocity

<u>a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 ft/s</u>

The motion is an underdamped motion because the value of β < Wo

Wo = 3.741 s^-1

Three heavy rods are all made of the same uniform material. These rods have lengths 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m, and compose the sides of
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The side lengths of the rods are as follows:

                             a = 4 m , b = 4 m , c = 5 m

                             a = Base , b = Perpendicular , c = Hypotenuse

- All rods are made of same material with uniform density. With

Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the triangle.

Solution:-

- The center of mass of any triangle is at the intersection of its medians.

- So let’s say we have a triangle with vertices at points (0,0) , (a,0) , and (0,b).

  • Median from (0,0) to midpoint (a/2,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                       bx−ay=0

  • Median from (a,0) to midpoint (0,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                      bx+2ay=ab

  • Median from (0,b) to midpoint (a/2,0) of opposite side has equation:

                                     2bx+ay=ab

  • Solve all three equations simultaneously:

                                     bx−ay=0  , bx = ay

                                     ay + 2ay = ab , 3ay = ab , y = b/3

                                     bx = b/3

                                     x = a / 3

  • So the distance from the median to each leg of the triangle is 1/3 length of other leg.

- So the coordinates of the centroid for right angle triangle would be:

                                   [ 2a/3 , b/3 ]

                                   [ 2.67 , 1 ] m
