Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

Water is mainly used as coolant in heating systems like hot-water radiators. The main function of water in such systems, is to absorb as much heat as possible, in order to decrease the temperature of the system and as a result cool it.

The specific heat capacity is the measure of heat energy that is required to raise the temperature of unit mass of a substance through 1 °C. In other words, specific heat capacity quantifies the amount of heat that can be stored by a unit mass of a substance having a degree rise in temperature.

Thus, the more specific heat a substance has, the more heat it can absorb from the hot system. Hence, the specific heat capacity of a coolant must be high.

<u>This is the reason why water, with its high specific heat capacity, is utilized for heating systems, such as radiators.</u>

Rainbow [258]
<span>Plug in 288 for h, move it over to the right side and do the quadratic formula to solve for t. You will get 2 times, in between and including those times will give you the period it is at least 288 ft off the ground.

</span>You can simplify this and not need to use the quadratic. <span>288=−16<span>t^2</span>+144t
</span><span>Divide through by 16 getting

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question pertains to resonance in air column.  It is the case of closed air column in which fundamental note is formed at a length which is as follows

l = λ / 4 where l is length of tube and λ is wave length.

here l = .26 m

λ = .26 x 4 = 1.04 m

frequency of sound = 330 Hz

velocity of sound = frequency x wave length

= 330 x 1.04

= 343.2 m /s

b )

Next overtone will be produced at 3 times the length

so next length of air column = 3 x 26

= 78 cm

c )

If frequency of sound = 256 Hz

wavelength = velocity / frequency

= 343.2 / 256

= 1.34 m

= 134 cm

length of air column for resonance

= wavelength / 4

134/4

= 33.5 cm
