Answer:

The speed of the sound wave is 350 m $s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of sound wave = 1000Hz = 1000 $s^{-1}$ (since 1 $s^{-1}$ = 1 Hertz (Hz))

Wavelength of sound wave = 35 cm

Speed of sound wave = ?

All waves have same the relation among frequency, sound and speed which is given by

v=fλ , where

v is the speed

f is frequency

λ is wavelength

Therefore, the speed of sound wave = 1000 $s^{-1}$ x 35 cm

= 35000 cm $s^{-1}$

= 350 m $s^{-1}$

Hence the speed of the sound wave is 350 m $s^{-1}$

Alcohol of mass 33.2g and density 0.79kg/m³ or 790kg/m³ is mixed with water of 9g. What is the density of the resulting mixture?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

0.83 g/cm³

Explanation:

The volume of the alcohol is ...

(33.2 g)/(0.79 g/cm³) ≈ 42.0253 cm³

The density of water is about 1 g/cm³, so the volume of 9 g of it is ...

(9 g)/(1 g/cm³) = 9 cm³

The total volume is ...

42.0253 cm³ +9 cm³ = 51.0253 cm³

The total mass is ...

33.2 g + 9 g = 42.4 g

So, the resulting density is ...

(42.4 g)/(51.0253 cm³) ≈ 0.83 g/cm³

The resulting mixture has a density of about 0.83 g/cm³.

<em>Additional comment</em>

Alcohol dissolves in water, so the total volume will be slightly less than 51.0253 cm³. The attached curve shows the result of mixing ethanol and water.

The weight of a mole of ethanol is about 46 g, of water, about 18.02 g. Then the mole fraction of alcohol is ...

(33.2/46)/(33.2/46 +9/18.02) ≈ 0.59

The volume of the mix is then estimated to be (-1.05 cc/mol)(1.221 mol), or about 1.28 cm³ less than the volume indicated above. That brings the density up to about 0.85 g/cm³.

We're not completely sure of the relevance of this calculation, since many of the applicable parameters are not specified. The point is that <em>the density of the mix will probably be slightly more than the value calculated above</em>. YMMV

Explanation:

In this system the energy of the sun heats the water in the pipe, producing a high pressured steam, which is used for moving a turbine and producing electricity, is a transformation of energy from solar to thermal, then to mechanical to electrical.

A ball is shot from the ground into the air. At a height of 8.8 m, the velocity is observed to be

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

h = 10.4 m

R = 22.48 m

v= 16,2 m/s , α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

Explanation:

The ball describes a parabolic path, and the equations of the movement are:

Equation of the uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) :

x = vx*t :

Equations of the uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ).

y = (v₀y)*t - (1/2)*g*t² Equation (2)

vfy² = v₀y² -2gy Equation (3)

vfy = v₀y -gt Equation (4)

Where:

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity in m

y: vertical position in meters (m)

v₀y: initial vertical velocity in m/s

vfy: final vertical velocity in m/s

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Known data

y= 8.8 m

v = ( (7.7)i + (5.7)j ) m/s : vx= 7.7 m/s , vy= 5.7 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Calculation of the initial vertical velocity ( v₀y)

We apply Equation (3) with the known data

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

(5.7)² = (v₀y)²- (2)*(9.8)*(8.8)

(5.7)²+ 172.48 = (v₀y)²

$v_{oy} = \sqrt{(5.7)^{2}+ 172.48 }$

v₀y = 14.3 m/s

Calculation of the maximum height the ball rise (h)

In the maximum height vfy=0

We apply the Equation (3) :

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

0 = (14.3)² - 2*98*h

h = (14.3)² / 19.6

h = 10.4 m

Calculation of the time it takes for the ball to the maximum height

We apply the Equation (4) :

vfy = v₀y -gt

0 = v₀y -gt

gt = v₀y

t = v₀y/g

t = 14.3/9.8

t= 1.46 s

Flight time = 2t = 2.92 s

Total horizontal distance traveled by the ball (R)

We replace data in the equation (1)

x =vx*t vx= 7.7 m/s , t =2.92 s (Flight time)

R = (7.7)* (2.92) = 22.48 m

Velocity of the ball (magnitude (v) and direction (α)) the instant before it hits the ground

vx = 7.7 m/s

vy = v₀y -gt = 14.3 - 9.8* (2.92) = -14.3 m/s

$v= \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2} }$

$v= \sqrt{(7.7)^{2}+ (-14.3)^{2} }$

v= 16,2 m/s

$\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x} })$

$\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{-14.3 }{7.7 })$

α = -61.7°

α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

i- j components of the v

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

A horizontal pipe contains water at a pressure of 110 kPa flowing with a speed of 1.4 m/s. When the pipe narrows to one half its

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$v_2 = 5.6 \ m/s$

$P_2 = 80600 \ Pa$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The pressure of the water in the pipe is $P_1= 110 \ kPa = 110 *10^{3 } \ Pa$

The speed of the water is $v_1 = 1.4 \ m/s$

The original area of the pipe is $A_1 = \pi \frac{d^2 }{4}$

The new area of the pipe is $A_2 = \pi * \frac{[\frac{d}{2} ]^2}{4} = \pi * \frac{\frac{d^2}{4} }{4} = \pi \frac{d^2}{16}$

Generally the continuity equation is mathematically represented as

$A_1 * v_1 = A_2 * v_2$

Here $v_2$ is the new velocity

$\pi * \frac{d^2}{4} * 1.4 = \pi * \frac{d^2}{16} * v_2$

=> $\frac{d^2}{4} * 1.4 = \frac{d^2}{16} * v_2$

=> $d^2 * 1.4 = \frac{d^2}{4} * v_2$

=> $1.4 = 0.25 * v_2$

=> $v_2 = 5.6 \ m/s$

Generally given that the height of the original pipe and the narrower pipe are the same , then we will b making use of the Bernoulli's equation for constant height to calculate the pressure

This is mathematically represented as

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho * v_1 ^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho * v_2 ^2$

Here $\rho$ is the density of water with value $\rho = 1000 \ kg /m^3$

$P_2 = P_1 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho [ v_1^2 - v_2^2 ]$

=> $P_2 = 110 *10^{3} + \frac{1}{2} * 1000 * [ 1.4 ^2 - 5.6 ^2 ]$

=> $P_2 = 80600 \ Pa$
