Answer:

Both choices B and C are valid

Explanation:

Sound wave are Mechanical wave. Air (or viscus fluid) is the medium of propagation. Sound is produced by the back and forth vibration of the object. Consider the vibration of object is from left to right then this back and forth vibrations of object displaces the molecules of the medium both rightward and leftward (to and fro) to the direction of the energy transport forming compression and rarefaction. This shows that the motion of the molecules of the medium is both parallel (and anti-parallel) to the direction of the sound wave propagation.

A rigid container holds 0.30g of hydrogen gas.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Part A:    \mathbf{Q =94 \ J} to two significant figures

Part B:    \mathbf{Q =160  \ J} to two significant figures

Part C:    \mathbf{Q =220  \ J} to two significant figures

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the hydrogen = 0.30 g

the molar mass of hydrogen gas molecule = 2 g/mol

we all know that:

number of moles = mass/molar mass

number of moles = 0.30 g /2 g/mol

number of moles = 0.15 mol

For low temperature between the range of 50 K to 100 K, the specific heat at constant volume for a diatomic gas molecule = C_v=\dfrac{3}{2}R

For Part A:

Q = mC_v\Delta T

Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{3}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(100-50)K

Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{3}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)

Q=93.5325 \ J

\mathbf{Q =94 \ J} to two significant figures

Part B. For hot temperature, C_v=\dfrac{5}{2}R

Q = mC_v\Delta T

Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{5}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(300-250)K

Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{5}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)

Q=155.8875 \ J

\mathbf{Q =160  \ J} to two significant figures

Part C. For an extremely hot temperature, C_v=\dfrac{7}{2}R

Q = mC_v\Delta T

Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{7}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(2300-2250)K

Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{7}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)

Q=218.2425 \ J

\mathbf{Q =220  \ J} to two significant figures

two forces whose magnitude are in ratio of 3:5 gives a resultant of 35N.if the angle of inclination is 60degree.calculate the ma
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

the magnitude of first force = 3 × 5= 15 N

ANd, the magnitude of second force = 5 × 5 = 25 N

Explanation:

The computation of the magnitude of the each force is shown below:

Provided that

Ratio of forces = 3: 5

Let us assume the common factor is x

Now

first force =  3x

And, the second force = 5x

Resultant force = 35 N

The Angle between the forces = 60 degrees  

Based on the above information

Resultant force i.e. F = √ F_1^2 +F_2^2 + 2 F_1F_2cos\theta

35 = √[(3x)²+ (5x)²+ 2 (3x)(5x) cos 60°]

 35 =√ 9x² + 25x² + 15x²    (cos 60° = 0.5)

35 = √49 x²

 x = 5

So, the magnitude of first force = 3 × 5= 15 N

ANd, the magnitude of second force = 5 × 5 = 25 N

Which situation is the best analogy for the doppler effect?
Rudiy27
The best scenario to describe the doppler effect would be listening to the siren of a passing ambulance or fire truck

then it is coming towards you, the pitch is higher, it gets higher as it approaches and peaks as it gets right in front of you. then it drop at once when it passes you and continues to drop till it fades away. this is a classic descrption of the doppler effect

Where do you think the government should put the greatest support: solar energy, wind energy, clean coal, oil exploration, gas e
True [87]
The government should put it support in a combination of sources, as no source in the present can fully provide all energy requirements.
