Consider a sound wave moving through the air modeled with the equation s(x, t) = 5.00 nm cos(60.00 m−1x − 18.00 ✕ 103 s−1t). Wha

Answer:

Shortest time = 58.18 × 10^(-6) s

Explanation:

We are given;

s(x,t) = 5.00 nm cos((60.00 m^(−1)x) − (18.00 X 10³ s^(−1)t))

Let us set x = 0 as origin.

Now, for us to find the time difference, we need to solve 2 equations which are;

s(x,t) = 5.00 nm cos((60.00 m^(−1)x) − (18.00 X 10³ s^(−1)t1))

And

s(x,t) = 5.00 nm cos((60.00 m^(−1)x) − (18.00 X 10³ s^(−1)t2))

Now, since the wave starts from maxima at time at t = 0, the required time would be the difference (t2 - t1)

Thus, the solutions are;

t1 = (1/(18 × 10³)) cos^(-1) (2.5/5)

And

t2 = (1/(18 × 10³)) cos^(-1) (-2.5/5)

Angle of the cos function is in radians, thus;

t1 = 58.18 × 10^(-6) s

t2 = 116.36 × 10^(-6) s

So,

Required time = t2 - t1 = (116.36 × 10^(-6) s) - (58.18 × 10^(-6) s) = 58.18 × 10^(-6) s

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 48 and its mass number is 167?
lys-0071 [83]
If its atomic number is 48, then it has 48 protons in the nucleus
of each atom.  Any more mass than that is supplied by the neutrons
that are mixed in there with the protons.

If the mass is 167, and 48 of those are protons, then there are

             (167 - 48)  =  119 neutrons

in each nucleus.

Which object has more gravitational potential energy? Use PE = m × g × h, where g = 9.8 meters/second2.
Andrew [12]
Gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula <span>PE = m × g × h, where g is the gravitational acceleration and is constant hence the energy is dependent directly to mass and the height of the object. Hence more PE is registered when the object is heavier and/or at greater initial height. </span>

yarga [219]

Answer:

The work done is 5136.88 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

n = 1.90 mol

Temperature = 296 K

If the initial volume is V then the final volume will be V/3.

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

W=nRT\ ln(\dfrac{V_{f}}{V_{i}})

Put the value into the formula

W=1.90\times8.314\times296\ ln(\dfrac{\dfrac{V}{3}}{V})

W=1.90\times8.314\times296\ ln(\dfrac{1}{3})

W=−5136.88\ J

The Work done on the system.

Hence, The work done is 5136.88 J.
