<h2>Answer:</h2>

The speed of atoms depends upon:

  • Temperature: Speed of atom is directly proportional to the temperature of atoms.
  • Pressure : It is also directly proportional to the speed of an atom.
  • Volume of gas : As the volume of gas increases, collision between atoms increases with increasing the speed of atom
  • Number of atoms surrounding: More number of atoms leads to more collisions, increasing speed of atoms.

A light wave travels through air at a speed of 3.0x108 m/s. Green light has a wavelength of about 5.76x1014Hz. What is the wavel
solong [7]

Answer:

521 nm

Explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming  5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ = \frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s} }{5.76*10^{14}Hz} = {5.20833*10^{-7} m}\approx{521 *10^{-9}m}={521 nm}

A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1 2 and t = 1 s? Use G
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

There is one mistake in the question.The Correct question is here

A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1/2 and t = 1 s? Use Galileo's formula v(t) = −9.8t m/s.

Answer:

y(1s) - y(1/2s) =  - 3.675 m  

The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.

Explanation:

Given data

time=1/2 sec to 1 sec

v(t)=-9.8t m/s

To find

Distance

Solution

As the acceleration as first derivative of velocity with respect to time  

So

acceleration(-g)=  dv/dt

Solve it

dv  =  a dt

dv =  -g dt

v - v₀  =  -gt

v=  dy/dt

dy  =  v dt

dy =  ( v₀ - gt ) dt

y(1s) - y(1/2s)  =  ( v₀ ) ( 1 - 1/2 ) - ( g/2 )[ ( t1)² -( t1/2s )² ]

y(1s) - y(1/2s)  = ( - 9.8/2 ) [ ( 1 )² - ( 1/2 )² ]

y1s - y1/2s  = ( - 4.9 m/s² ) ( 3/4 s² )

y(1s) - y(1/2s) =  - 3.675 m  

The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.

Consider a well-insulated rigid container with two chambers separated by a membrane. The total volume is 5.0 cubic meters. The f
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The Entropy generated by the steam = 2.821 kJ/K

Explanation:

Total volume of container = 5m³

Heat transfer does not exist between system and surrounding, dQ = 0

At the first chamber, temperature of water at saturated liquid is 300°C

From the steam table:

Specific enthalpy of saturated liquid at 300°C , h_{f} = 1344.8 kJ/kg

Specific internal energy of saturated liquid at 300°C, U_{f1} =  1332.7 kJ/kg

For closed system, the first law of thermodynamics state that:

dQ = dw + dU..................(1)

work done for free expansion, dw =0

0 = 0 + dU

dU = 0 , i.e. U₁ = U₂

At the second chamber,

The final pressure, P₂ = 50 kPa

From the steam table, at P₂ = 50 kPa,  U_{f2} = 340.49 kJ/kg

(U_{fg} )_{2} =  2142.7 kJ/kg

Let the dryness fraction at the second chamber = x

U_{2} = U_{f2} + U_{fg2}

U_{2} = 340.49 + x2140.7Since U₁ = U₂

1332.7 = 340.49 + x2140.7

Dryness fraction, x = 0.463

From steam table, the specific volume is, u_{f2} = 0.00103 m^{3} /kg\\

u_{2} = u_{f2} + xu_{fg2}

u_{2} = 0.00103 + 0.463(3.2393)\\u_{2} = 1.5 m^{3} /kg\\

u_{2} = \frac{v_{2} }{m_{2} }

V₂ = 5 m³

1.5 = 5/m₂

m₂ = 3.33 kg

At 300°C S_{1} = S_{f} = 3.2548 kJ/kg-k\\

S_{2} = S_{f2} + xS_{fg2}

From the steam table,

S_{f2} = 1.0912 kJ/kg-k\\S_{fg2} = 6.5019 kJ/kg-k\\S_{2} = 1.0912 + 0.463(6.5019)\\S_{2} = 4.102 kJ/kg-k

Therefore the entropy generated will be :

Entropy = mass* (S₂ - S₁)

Entropy = 3.33* (4.102 - 3.2548)

Entropy = 2.821 kJ/K

Pierre cycles at 4 miles per hour and travels a distance of 13 miles. How long
amm1812

Answer:

His journey took him 3 hours 15 minutes.

Explanation: 4 miles every hour. So 1 hr is equal to 4 miles, 2 hrs is equal to 8 miles, 3 hrs is equal to 12 miles. Now he just has 1 miles left, and since it takes him a hour to cycle 4 miles, 60 divided by 4 is 15. Therefore, 1 mile is equal to 15 minutes.
