Answer : Particles vibrate parallel to the direction the sound travels.

Explanation :

Sound is a longitudinal wave. The particles of medium moves in the direction of the propagation of the wave. The sound waves requires a medium to travel.

The longitudinal wave propagates in the form of compression and rarefaction. The distance between the compression and the rarefaction is called wavelength.

So, the correct option is (d) " Particles vibrate parallel to the direction the sound travels".

A small sphere of reference-grade iron with a specific heat of 447 J/kg K and a mass of 0.515 kg is suddenly immersed in a water

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The specific heat of the unknown material is 131.750 joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.

Explanation:

Let suppose that sphere is cooled down at steady state, then we can estimate the rate of heat transfer ( $\dot Q$ ), measured in watts, that is, joules per second, by the following formula:

$\dot Q = m\cdot c\cdot \frac{T_{f}-T_{o}}{\Delta t}$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the sphere, measured in kilograms.

$c$ - Specific heat of the material, measured in joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.

$T_{o}$ , $T_{f}$ - Initial and final temperatures of the sphere, measured in degrees Celsius.

$\Delta t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

In addition, we assume that both spheres experiment the same heat transfer rate, then we have the following identity:

$\frac{m_{I}\cdot c_{I}}{\Delta t_{I}} = \frac{m_{X}\cdot c_{X}}{\Delta t_{X}}$ (2)

Where:

$m_{I}$ , $m_{X}$ - Masses of the iron and unknown spheres, measured in kilograms.

$\Delta t_{I}$ , $\Delta t_{X}$ - Times of the iron and unknown spheres, measured in seconds.

$c_{I}$ , $c_{X}$ - Specific heats of the iron and unknown materials, measured in joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.

$c_{X} = \left(\frac{\Delta t_{X}}{\Delta t_{I}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{m_{I}}{m_{X}} \right) \cdot c_{I}$

If we know that $\Delta t_{I} = 6.35\,s$ , $\Delta t_{X} = 4.59\,s$ , $m_{I} = 0.515\,kg$ , $m_{X} = 1.263\,kg$ and $c_{I} = 447\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , then the specific heat of the unknown material is:

$c_{X} = \left(\frac{4.59\,s}{6.35\,s} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{0.515\,kg}{1.263\,kg} \right)\cdot \left(447\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)$

$c_{X} = 131.750\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$

Then, the specific heat of the unknown material is 131.750 joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.

What is the current widely accepted theory about global climate change and what are some predictions associated with it?

Travka [436]

<span>The theory concerning global climate change is that carbon and oxygen are combining to form co2 causing global climate change. Predictions are that they will be positive and negative effects, positive effects are they produce more crops and cold related deaths. Some negatives are damage to crops, rising of sea level, spread of disease and other things.</span>
