<span>f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
First, you need to determine the period of the function. The period will be the time interval between identical points on the sinusoidal function. For this problem, the tide is rising and at 5.15 at midnight for two consecutive days. So the period is 24 hours. Over that 24 hour period, we want the parameter passed to sine to range from 0 to 2*pi. So the scale factor for x will be 2*pi/24 = pi/12 which is approximately 0.261799388. The next thing to note is the magnitude of the wave. That will simply be the difference between the maximum and minimum values. So 10.2 ft - 0.1 ft = 10.1 ft. And since the value of sine ranges from -1 to 1, we need to divide that magnitude by 2, so 10.1 ft / 2 = 5.05 ft.
So our function at this point looks like
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12)
But the above function ranges in value from -5.05 to 5.05. So we need to add a bias to it in order to make the low value equal to 0.1. So 0.1 = X - 5.05, 0.1 + 5.05 = X, 5.15 = X. So our function now looks like:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
The final thing that might have been needed would have been a phase correction. With this problem, we don't need a phase correction since at X = 0 (midnight), the value of X*pi/12 = 0, and the sine of 0 is 0, so the value of the equation is 5.15 which matches the given value of 5.15. But if the problem had been slightly different and the height of the tide at midnight has been something like 7 feet, then we would have had to calculate a phase shift value for the function and add that constant to the parameter being passed into sine, making the function look like:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12 + C) + 5.15
where
C = Phase correction offset.
But we don't need it for this problem, so the answer is:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
Note: The above solution assumes that angles are being measured in radians. If you're using degrees, then instead of multiplying x by 2*pi/24 = pi/12, you need to multiply by 360/24 = 15 instead, giving f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*15) + 5.15</span>
Answer:
229,098.96 J
Explanation:
mass of water (m) = 456 g = 0.456 kg
initial temperature (T) = 25 degrees
final temperature (t) = - 10 degrees
specific heat of ice = 2090 J/kg
latent heat of fusion =33.5 x 10^(4) J/kg
specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg
for the water to be converted to ice it must undergo three stages:
- the water must cool from 25 degrees to 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of water x change in temp
Q = 0.456 x 4186 x (25 - (-10)) = 66808.56 J
- the water must freeze at 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of fusion x change in temp
Q = 0.456 x 33.5 x 10^(4) = 152760 J
- the water must cool further to -10 degrees from 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of ice x change in temp
Q = 0.456 x 2090 x (0 - (-10)) = 9530.4 J
The quantity of heat removed from all three stages would be added to get the total heat removed.
Q total = 66,808.56 + 152,760 + 9,530.4 = 229,098.96 J
It is right have a good day

Answer: Heterogeneous mixture - the parts are not uniformly mixed.
A mixture contains components having distinct chemical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous mixture there is uniform distribution of components. we cannot distinguish one portion of the mixture from another. for example salt mixed in water. In heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly mixed. hence, we are able to distinguish different parts of a mixture, like the mixture of iron, sand and salt given in this question.
