Answer:

496.7 K

Explanation:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:

\eta = 1 - \frac{T_H}{T_L}

where:

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the engine in the problem, we know that

\eta = 0.400 is the efficiency

T_C = 298.0 K is the temperature of the cold reservoir

Solving for T_H, we find:

\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\eta\\T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta} =\frac{298.0}{1-0.400}=496.7 K

A bystander observes the musicians heading toward each other. When musician #1 is 100 m away, the intensity is 1.24 x 10-8 W/m^2
777dan777 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance 1, r = 100 m

Intensity, I_1=1.24\times 10^{-8}\ W/m^2

If distance 2, r' = 25 m

We need to find the intensity and the intensity level at 25 meters. Intensity and a distance r is given by :

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}.........(1)

Let I' is the intensity at r'. So,

I'=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r'^2}............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

I'=\dfrac{Ir}{r'^2}

I'=\dfrac{1.24\times 10^{-8}\times 100}{25^2}

I'=1.98\times 10^{-9}\ W/m^2

Intensity level is given by :

dB=10\ log(\dfrac{I'}{I_o}), I_o=10^{-12}\ W/m^2

dB=10\ log(\dfrac{1.98\times 10^{-9}}{10^{-12}})

dB = 32.96 dB

Hence, this is the required solution.

a radio station broadcast a frequency 90500 Hz. these radio waves travel at speed of 30000 m/s. what is the wavelength of the ra
Feliz [49]

Answer:

0.331m

Explanation:

wave equation: v=f λ

v=30000m/s

f=90500 Hz

λ= \frac{v}{f}

λ= \frac{30000}{90500}

λ= 0.311m

stepan [7]

La velocidad vertical del tanque después de caer 10 m es 14 m/seg .

La velocidad vertical del tanque se calcula mediante la aplicación de la fórmula de velocidad , la componente vertical Vfy, del movimiento horizontal como se muestra a continuación :

Vfy=?

  h = 10 m

                              Fórmula de Velocidad vertical Vfy:

                           Vfy²  = 2*g*h

                            Vfy= √(2*9.8m/seg2* 10m )

                            Vfy= 14 m/seg

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of
erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.
