Sound waves are longitudinal waves so they move in the direction in which the energy or wave is moving

Which of the following frequencies falls in the range of RF waves used by commercial radio broadcasting stations?

erma4kov [3.2K]

A). 600,000 Hz or 600 KHz
Yes. Commercial broadcasters operate here.
This is the '600' on your AM radio dial.

B). 60 Hz
No. In principle, this frequency might be used for communication or
commercial broadcasting, but it suffers from two inconvenient truths:
-- An efficient antenna for 60 Hz ... either transmitting or receiving ...
needs to be almost 780 miles long.
-- This is the frequency of the electric power utility in the US and
Canada, so every outlet, wire, cable, lamp cord, and electric line
on a pole RADIATES a little bit of signal at this frequency. That's
an awful lot of interference.

C). 6,000,000 Hz or 6 MHz
There's a lot of broadcasting activity here, but it's not commercial
music, news, and sports into local homes and cars.
It's foreign short-wave broadcast, bringing news, propaganda, and
culture from one country to another. Pretty interesting to browse.

D). 6,000 Hz or 6 KHz.
No. Not used for communication, for an interesting reason:
This frequency is smack in the middle of the human hearing range.
So if it were used for communication ... with high-power transmitters
here and there ... then you wouldn't hear it in the air. But wherever
wires were being used to carry sound ... your stereo's speaker wires,
wires from your player to your ear-buds, wires to the telephones in
your house etc ... the wires would act as antennas, picking up
broadcasts at 6 KHz, and the broadcasts would get into everything.
Not a smart plan.

A tank has the shape of an inverted circular cone with height 16m and base radius 3m. The tank is filled with water to a height

rewona [7]

Answer:

$W=17085KJ$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height $H=16m$

Radius $R=3$

Height of water $H_w=9m$

Gravity $g=9.8m/s$

Density of water $\rho=1000kg/m^3$

Generally the equation for Volume of water is mathematically given by

$dv=\pi*r^2dy$

$dv=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy$

Where

y is a random height taken to define dv

Generally the equation for Work done to pump water is mathematically given by

$dw=(pdv)g (H-y)$

Substituting dv

$dw=(p(=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy))g (H-y)$

$dw=\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3dy$

Therefore

$W=\int dw$

$W=\int(\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3)dy$

$W=\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}\int((H-y)^3)dy)$

$W=\frac{1000*9.8*3.142*3^2}{9^2}[((9-y)^3)}^9_0$

$W=3420.84*0.25[2401-65536]$

$W=17084965.5J$

$W=17085KJ$

A snowball with a mass of 85 g hits the top hat of a 1.5 m tall snowman and sticks to it. the hat and the snowball, with a combi

LenaWriter [7]

Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,

Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.

v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s

Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds

Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m

What change in entropy occurs when a 0.15 kg ice cube at -18 °C is transformed into steam at 120 °c 4.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: The change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

Explanation:

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)H_2O(s)(-18^oC,255K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\\2.)H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\\3.)H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\\4.)H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\\5.)H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(120^oC,393K)$
