The electromagnetic spectrum is traditionally divided into regions of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x rays, and gamma rays. ... Wavelength defines the distance between adjacent points of the electromagnetic wave that are in equal phase (e.g., wavecrests)

The electromagnetic spectrum is the term used by scientists to describe the entire range of light that exists. From radio waves to gamma rays, most of the light in the universe is, in fact, invisible to us! ... Another closely related property is wavelength: the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next.

On a highway curve with a radius of 46 meters, the maximum force of static friction that can act on a 1,200 kg car going around

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

$v\approx 16.956\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The motion of the vehicule on a highway curve can be modelled by the following equation of equilibrium:

$\Sigma F = f = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}$

The maximum speed is:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{f\cdot R}{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(7500\,N)\cdot (46\,m)}{1200\,kg} }$

$v\approx 16.956\,\frac{m}{s}$

A pin fin of uniform, cross-sectional area is fabricated of an aluminum alloy (k = 160 W/m-K). The fin diameter is D = 4 mm, and

frozen [14]

Answer:

Given that

D= 4 mm

K = 160 W/m-K

h=h = 220 W/m²-K

ηf = 0.65

We know that

$m=\sqrt{\dfrac{hP}{KA}}$

For circular fin

$m=\sqrt{\dfrac{4h}{KD}}$

$m=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 220}{160\times 0.004}}$

m = 37.08

$\eta_f=\dfrac{tanhmL}{mL}$

$0.65=\dfrac{tanh37.08L}{37.08L}$

By solving above equation we get

L= 36.18 mm

The effectiveness for circular fin given as

$\varepsilon =\dfrac{2\ tanhmL}{\sqrt{\dfrac{hD}{K}}}$

$\varepsilon =\dfrac{2\ tanh(37.08\times 0.03618)}{\sqrt{\dfrac{220\times 0.004}{160}}}$

A 0.4000 kg sample of methanol at 16.0ºC is mixed with 0.4000 kg of water at 85.0ºC. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings,

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

T_finalmix = 59.5 [°C].

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, a thermal balance must be performed, where the heat is transferred from water to methanol, at the end the temperature of the water and methanol must be equal once the thermal balance is achieved.

$Q_{water}=Q_{methanol}$
