Answer:

Letter b is wavelength. Letter a is amplitude.

Explanation:

Let's imagine a simple experiment. Imagine you have a long thick rope which one end is at your hands, and you start an oscillatory motion in it, moving your hand up and down. Then a friend of you take a picture of the rope in motion, looking at the rope laterally. Now let's find the wavelength and amplitude. Amplitude is "The distance from the center of the oscillation of the rope (when the rope was not in motion) to its high or low point", or the vertical displacement, in our experiment. On the other hand, wavelength is "The distance between one high point /low point and the next high point /low point". Take a look at a photo of a wave in your textbook and you will find the answer as well. ; )

A hot-water stream at 80 ℃ enters a mixing chamber with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s where it is mixed with a stream of cold wat

rewona [7]

Answer:

$\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

Explanation:

$\dot{m_1}= 0.5kg/s$

from steam tables , at 250 kPa, and at

T₁ = 80⁰C ⇒ h₁ = 335.02 kJ/kg

T₂ = 20⁰C⇒ h₂ = 83.915 kJ/kg

T₃ = 42⁰C ⇒ h₃ = 175.90 kJ/kg

we know

$\dot{m_{in}}=\dot{m_{out}}$

$\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}}=\dot{m_{3}}$

according to energy balance equation

$\dot{m_{in}}h_{in}=\dot{m_{out}}h_{out}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=\dot{m_{3}}h_{3}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=(\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}})h_{3}\\(0.5\times 335.02)+(\dot{m_{2}}\times 83.915)=(0.5+\dot{m_{2}})175.90\\\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

If a book is knocked off a desk that is .75 m tall at a rate of 2.0 m/s, how far away from the desk does it fall

ANEK [815]

Answer: 0.8 m

Explanation:

In the vertical direction, the speed is zero, u = 0.

Distance covered in the vertical direction, s = 0.75 m.

The book would fall with acceleration due to gravity in the vertical direction, a = g = 9.8 m/s²

From the equation of motion,

s = u t + 0.5 a t²

Substituting the above values, we will find out the time taken for the book to hit the ground.

⇒0.75 m=0+0.5×9.8 m/s²×t²

⇒t = √0.153 = 0.39 s ≈ 0.40 s

Now, the horizontal distance covered,

d = v×t ⇒d= 2.0 m/s × 0.40 s =0.8 m

Hence, the book falls 0.8 m away from the desk.
