Answer:

These terms overlap in meaning, but: "harmonic" includes the fundamental frequency and all of the overtones above it, while "overtones" include all frequencies greater than the fundamental frequency. The harmonics are multiples of the fundamental frequency.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The galaxy is moving away from the observer

Explanation: when a galaxy is moving away from us, the light we percieve from it is "streched". Since the wavelength has an inverse raltionship whith frequency, the longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency. And lower frequencies correspond to red and infrarred light.

So when we see the light has shifted to the infrarred part of the spectrum, it means the source is traveling away from us, making the light waves we percieve streched and move from visible light to infrarred.

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) $P=2450\ Pa$

b) $\delta h=23.162\ cm$

Explanation:

Given:

height of water in one arm of the u-tube, $h_w=25\ cm=0.25\ m$

Gauge pressure at the water-mercury interface,:

$P=\rho_w.g.h_w$

we've the density of the water $=1000\ kg.m^{-3}$

$P=1000\times 9.8\times 0.25$

$P=2450\ Pa$

Now the same pressure is balanced by the mercury column in the other arm of the tube:

$\rho_w.g.h_w=\rho_m.g.h_m$

$1000\times 9.8\times 0.25=13600\times 9.8\times h_m$

$h_m=0.01838\ m=1.838\ cm$

<u>Now the difference in the column is :</u>

$\delta h=h_w-h_m$

$\delta h=25-1.838$

$\delta h=23.162\ cm$

Find the quantity of heat needed

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $3.99\times 10^{4}\; \rm J$ (assuming that the melting point of ice is $0\; \rm ^\circ C$ .)

Explanation:

Convert the unit of mass to kilograms, so as to match the unit of the specific heat capacity of ice and of water.

$\begin{aligned}m&= 100\; \rm g \times \frac{1\; \rm kg}{1000\; \rm g} \\ &= 0.100\; \rm kg\end{aligned}$

The energy required comes in three parts:

Energy required to raise the temperature of that $0.100\; \rm kg$ of ice from $(-10\; \rm ^\circ C)$ to $0\; \rm ^\circ C$ (the melting point of ice.)
Energy required to turn $0.100\; \rm kg$ of ice into water while temperature stayed constant.
Energy required to raise the temperature of that newly-formed $0.100\; \rm kg$ of water from $0\; \rm ^\circ C$ to $10\;\ rm ^\circ C$ .

The following equation gives the amount of energy $Q$ required to raise the temperature of a sample of mass $m$ and specific heat capacity $c$ by $\Delta T$ :

$Q = c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T$ ,

where

$c$ is the specific heat capacity of the material,
$m$ is the mass of the sample, and
$\Delta T$ is the change in the temperature of this sample.

For the first part of energy input, $c(\text{ice}) = 2100\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1}$ whereas $m = 0.100\; \rm kg$ . Calculate the change in the temperature:

$\begin{aligned}\Delta T &= T(\text{final}) - T(\text{initial}) \\ &= (0\; \rm ^\circ C) - (-10\; \rm ^\circ C) \\ &= 10\; \rm K\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the energy required to achieve that temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q_1 &= c(\text{ice}) \cdot m(\text{ice}) \cdot \Delta T\\ &= 2100\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1} \\ &\quad\quad \times 0.100\; \rm kg \times 10\; \rm K\\ &= 2.10\times 10^{3}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, for the third part of energy input, $c(\text{water}) = 4200\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1}$ whereas $m = 0.100\; \rm kg$ . Calculate the change in the temperature:

$\begin{aligned}\Delta T &= T(\text{final}) - T(\text{initial}) \\ &= (10\; \rm ^\circ C) - (0\; \rm ^\circ C) \\ &= 10\; \rm K\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the energy required to achieve that temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q_3&= c(\text{water}) \cdot m(\text{water}) \cdot \Delta T\\ &= 4200\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1} \\ &\quad\quad \times 0.100\; \rm kg \times 10\; \rm K\\ &= 4.20\times 10^{3}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

The second part of energy input requires a different equation. The energy $Q$ required to melt a sample of mass $m$ and latent heat of fusion $L_\text{f}$ is:

$Q = m \cdot L_\text{f}$ .

Apply this equation to find the size of the second part of energy input:

$\begin{aligned}Q_2&= m \cdot L_\text{f}\\&= 0.100\; \rm kg \times 3.36\times 10^{5}\; \rm J\cdot kg^{-1} \\ &= 3.36\times 10^{4}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Find the sum of these three parts of energy:

$\begin{aligned}Q &= Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 = 3.99\times 10^{4}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

20. In a parallel RL circuit, 10 mA flows through the resistor and 4 mA flows through the inductor. What phase angle separates v

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Option D: 21.8 degrees

Explanation:

In a parallel RL circuit, the current in the resistor R and that in the inductor L are separated among themselves 90 degrees as illustrated in the attached image. In the image the current in the resistor is represented in orange, that of the inductor in blue, and the total current (vector addition of the previous two) is represented in red, forming a certain angle (theta) with respect to the current in the resistor. The output voltage is the same as the input voltage as measured over the resistor R.

Therefore, the phase angle that separated output voltage and total current can be obtained using the fact that tan(phase angle) = $\frac{I_l}{I_R} = \frac{x}{y} \frac{4}{10}$ , therefore the angle is the arctangent of 4/10:

$arctang(\frac{4}{10} )= 21.801$ degrees.

Explain how height,acceleration,and speed would affect the movement of a roller coaster

Lady_Fox [76]

The effective acceleration or deceleration due to gravity depends on the inclined angle of the track relative to ground; the steeper the slope is the greater the effective acceleration.
