Scouts at a camp shake the rope bridge they have just crossed and observe the wave crests to be 9.70 m apart. If they shake the

bridge twice per second, what is the propagation speed of the waves (in m/s)?

Answer:

<em> The speed of the wave is 19.4 m/s</em>

Explanation:

The wave's crest to crest distance (the wavelength of this rope's wave) λ= 9.70 m

The bridge is shaken twice, meaning that two wavelengths passed a given point on the rope per sec. The frequency of a wave is the amount of that wave that passes a given point in a second.

this means that the frequency f = 2 Hz

The speed of a wave = fλ = 9.70 x 2 =<em> 19.4 m/s</em>

Liquid water can be separated into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas through electrolysis. 1 mole of hydrogen gas and 0.5 moles of
den301095 [7]

The temperature of the oxygen gas is  243.75 K.

Using ideal gas law to explain the answer, the absolute temperature of the gas will decrease if the number of moles of the gas increases and it will increase if the volume and/or pressure of the gas increases.

The reaction of the given elements;

H_2 \ + \ \frac{1}{2} O_2 \ --->\ \ H_2O

volume of the collected oxygen gas, V = 10 L

pressure of the gas, P = 1 atm

number of moles of the gas, n = 0.5

Using ideal law the temperature of the oxygen gas is calculated as follows;

PV = nRT\\\\T = \frac{PV}{nR} \\\\where;\\R \ is \ the \ ideal \ gas \ constant = 0.08205 \ L.atm/K.mol\\\\T = \frac{1 \times 10 }{0.5 \times 0.08205} \\\\T = 243.75 \ K

Thus, the temperature of the gas is 243.75 K.

Using ideal gas law to explain the answer. The absolute temperature of the oxygen gas is directly proportional to the product of its pressure and volume and inversely proportional to its number of moles. That is the absolute temperature of the gas will decrease if the number of moles of the gas increases and it will increase if the volume and/or pressure increases.

Photosynthesis transforms molecules of water and carbon dioxide into Molecules of?
brilliants [131]
Into molecules of sugar and oxygen.
The complete reaction of the photosynthesis is in fact:
6CO_2+6H_2O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2
and the energy of the light coming from the sun is also used to make the reaction possible.

What force accelerates a 500 kg object at 5 m/s2? A. 25000 N B. 2000 N C. 250 N D. 2500 N
alisha [4.7K]

Apply Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration

Given values:

m = 500kg

a = 5m/s²

Plug in and solve for F:

F = 500(5)

F = 2500N

Choice D

. How does the intensity of sunlight received affect Earth’s temperatures?
leonid [27]
When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface near the equator, the incoming solar radiation is more direct (nearly perpendicular or closer to a 90˚ angle). Therefore, the solar radiation is concentrated over a smaller surface area, causing warmer temperatures.
