Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) 1200 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the rotor is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

where we have

\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration (negative since the rotor is slowing down)

\omega_f is the final angular speed

\omega_i = 2000 rad/s is the initial angular speed

t = 10.0 s is the time interval

Solving for \omega_f, we find the final angular speed after 10.0 s:

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t = 2000 rad/s + (-80.0 rad/s^2)(10.0 s)=1200 rad/s

(b) 25 s

We can calculate the time needed for the rotor to come to rest, by using again the same formula:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

If we re-arrange it for t, we get:

t = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\alpha}

where here we have

\omega_i = 2000 rad/s is the initial angular speed

\omega_f=0 is the final angular speed

\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration

Solving the equation,

t=\frac{0-2000 rad/s}{-80.0 rad/s^2}=25 s

a 4kg metal block absorbs 5000j of energy and increases to a temperature of 22°c. the metal has a specific heat capacity of 250j
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

17 °C

Explanation:

From specific Heat capacity.

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................. Equation 1

Where Q = Heat absorb by the metal block, c = specific heat capacity of the metal block, m = mass of the metal block, t₂ = final temperature, t₁ = Initial temperature.

make t₁ the subject of the equation

t₁ = t₂-(Q/cm)............... Equation 2

Given: t₂ = 22 °C, Q = 5000 J, m = 4 kg, c = 250 J/kg.°c

Substitute into equation 2

t₁ = 22-[5000/(4×250)

t₁ = 22-(5000/1000)

t₁ = 22-5

t₁ = 17 °C

Water is boiled at 1 atm pressure in a 25-cm-internal- diameter stainless steel pan on an electric range. if it is observed that
patriot [66]
<span>3933 watts At 100 C (boiling point of water), it's density is 0.9584 g/cm^3. The volume of water lost is pi * 12.5^2 * 10 = 4908.738521 cm^3 The mass of water boiled off is 4908.738521 * 0.9584 = 4704.534999 grams. Rounding to 4 significant figures gives me 4705 grams of water. The heat of vaporization for water is 2257 J/g. So the total energy applied is 2257 J/g * 4705 g = 10619185 J Now we need to divide that by how many seconds we've spent boiling water. That would be 45 * 60 = 2700 seconds. Finally, the rate of heat transfer in Joules per second will be the total number of joules divided by the total number of seconds. So 10619185 J / 2700 s = 3933 J/s = 3933 (kg m^2/s^2)/s = 3933 (kg m^2/s^3) = 3933 watts</span>
