Answer:

It will take both pumps 3.08 hours to fill the tank working together.

Explanation:

Pump A can fill the tank in 5 hours. Assuming that the pump gives out a steady flow of water, in one hour, pump A can fill 1/5th of the tank. Similarly, pump B in an hour, fills up 1/8th of the tank.

We must add up these two values, in order to find how much of the tank the two pumps can fill up together in one hour.

1/5 +1/8 =13/40

So 13/40 of the tank is filled in an hour. We need to find how many hours it will take for the entire tank to be filled. To do so, divide 40 by 13. This gives:

3.08 hours to fill up the tank.

Heat gained minus work fine is equal to what?
Zina [86]

Heat transferred - Work done = Internal Energy

Explanation:

  • If there is more heat transfer than the work done, the energy difference is called internal energy
  • The first law of thermodynamics equation is given as ΔU=Q−W where, ΔU = Internal energy; Q = Heat transfer; W = Work done
  • Heat = transfer of thermal energy between two bodies at different temperatures
  • Work = force used to transfer energy between a system and its surroundings
  • The First Law of Thermodynamics states - energy can be converted from one form to another with the interaction of heat, work and internal energy
  • Energy cannot be created nor destroyed

Consider the f(x) = cos(x-C) function shown in the figure in blue color, where 0 ≤ C ≤ 2π. What is the value of parameter C for
klemol [59]

The value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

<h3>What is amplitude of a wave?</h3>

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave. It can also be described at the maximum upward displacement of a wave curve.

f(x) = Acos(x - C)

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • C is phase difference of the wave

<h3>What is angular frequency of a wave?</h3>

Angular frequency is  the angular displacement of any element of the wave per unit time.

From the blue colored graph; at y = 1, x = -2 cm

1 = cos(2 - C)

(2 - C) = cos^(1)

(2 - C) = 0

C = 2

Thus, the value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

Name five characteristics of a star that can be determined by measuring its spectrum. Explain how you would use a spectrum to de
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.
