Answer:

Shock wave.

Explanation:

A wave that will travel faster than the speed of sound. It will generate regions where the pressure is high, in the medium in which the wave travels.

As the wave travels faster than the sound wave, in that medium compressional waves pile up and will result in regions of high pressure. The source that generates the shock waves will be moving ahead of the waves that are produced by it.

Suppose an air craft travels faster than the speed of sound, it will generate shock waves.

What is system thinking ?

Greeley [361]

Answer: Systems thinking is a holistic approach to analysis that focuses on the way that a system's constituent parts interrelate and how systems work over time and within the context of larger systems.

How much time will have passed by the time a sample of an isotope has decayed to 6.25% of its original mass if the half-life is

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

60 days.

Explanation:

Let the original mass (N₀) = 1 g

Amount remaining (N) = 6.25% of its original mass

= 6.25% × 1

= 6.25/100 × 1

= 0.0625 g

Half life (t½) = 15 days

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the rate of decay. This can be obtained as follow:

Decay constant (K) = 0.693/ half life

K = 0.693 / t½

Half life (t½) = 15 days

Decay constant (K) =?

K = 0.693 / t½

K = 0.693 / 15

K = 0.0462 / day

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the sample of the isotope to decay to 6.25% of its original mass.

This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 1 g

Amount remaining (N) = 0.0625 g

Decay constant (K) = 0.0462 / day

Time (t) =?

Log (N₀/N) = Kt/2.3

Log (1/0.0625) = 0.0462 × t / 2.3

Log 16 = 0.0462 × t / 2.3

1.2041 = 0.0462 × t /2.3

Cross multiply

0.0462 × t = 1.2041 × 2.3

Divide both side by 0.0462

t = (1.2041 × 2.3)/0.0462

t = 59.9 ≈ 60 days

Therefore, the time taken for the sample of the isotope to decay to 6.25% of its original mass is 60 days

72) What is the freezing point (°C) of a solution prepared by dissolving 11.3 g of Ca(NO3)2 (formula weight = 164 g/mol) in 115

Rina8888 [55]

Answer: The freezing point of solution is -3.34°C

Explanation:

Vant hoff factor for ionic solute is the number of ions that are present in a solution. The equation for the ionization of calcium nitrate follows:

$Ca(NO_3)_2(aq.)\rightarrow Ca^{2+}(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)$

The total number of ions present in the solution are 3.

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

$Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}$

Where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute $(Ca(NO_3)_2)$ = 11.3 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute $(Ca(NO_3)_2)$ = 164 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = 115 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of }Ca(NO_3)_2=\frac{11.3\times 1000}{164\times 115}\\\\\text{Molality of }Ca(NO_3)_2=0.599m$

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T=iK_fm$

where,

i = Vant hoff factor = 3

$K_f$ = molal freezing point depression constant = 1.86°C/m.g

m = molality of solution = 0.599 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta T=3\times 1.86^oC/m.g\times 0.599m\\\\\Delta T=3.34^oC$

Depression in freezing point is defined as the difference in the freezing point of water and freezing point of solution.

$\Delta T=\text{freezing point of water}-\text{freezing point of solution}$

$\Delta T$ = 3.34 °C

Freezing point of water = 0°C

Freezing point of solution = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.34^oC=0^oC-\text{Freezing point of solution}\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=-3.34^oC$

Hence, the freezing point of solution is -3.34°C

a spotted lizard runs at 3m/s at top speed. a girl wants to catch the lizard to keep as a pet. where should the girl place her c

Ann [662]

The acceleration due to earth's gravity is -9.8 m/s [dn] I thought... I'm assuming this is a projectile motion question asking for the range.

Break each kinematic quantity into their x and y components.

x y

v₁ = 3 m/s 0

v₂ = 3 m/s ?

Δd = ? -1.5

Δt = ? ?

a = 0 -10 m/s²

So the variable we are trying to find is Δdx (x component of displacement). We need to use a kinematic equation to do so. However, we obviously don't have enough given to find Δdx. This means we need to find something first, something we can use. How about Δt? Δt can be applied to both the x and y components. We have enough information in the y component list to find Δt. We can use this formula and solve for Δt.

Δdy = v₁y ( Δt ) + 1/2 ( ay ) ( Δt )²

Δdy = 1/2 ( ay ) ( Δt )² <- the first term cancels out since v₁y = 0.

2Δdy = ay ( Δt )²

2Δdy / ay = ( Δt )²

√ 2Δdy / ay = Δt

√ 2(-1.5 m/s) / -9.8 m/s² = Δt

√ -3.0 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = Δt

√ 0.306122449 s² = Δt

0.5532833352 s = Δt

Now, we can use this newly found quantity to solve for Δdx using the x component values using the appropriate kinematic equation.

Δdx = ( v₁x + v₂x / 2) ( Δt )

Δdx = ( ( 3.0 m/s + 3.0 m/s ) / 2 ) ( 0.5532833352 s )

Δdx = ( 6.0 m/s / 2 ) ( 0.5532833352 s )

Δdx = ( 3.0 m / s )( 0.5532833352 s )

Δdx = 1.659850006 m

Therefore, the girl should place her cage 1.7 m away from the platform to catch the lizard.

This solution assumes that the acceleration due to gravity is -10 m/s² [dn] and not -9.8 m/s² [dn]. If you need -9.8 m/s² [dn], then just substitute it into my solution. This was a pain to type lol
