How can the continuous addition of heat in a closed system cause it to explode?

Answer:

The heat builds pressure

Explanation:

Consider an ideal gas in a closed system (like a gas in a container: in this case, the volume of the gas is fixed). The ideal gas equation states that:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the gas volume

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

If heat is added to the gas, its temperature T increases. n and R are constant, and V is constant as well (the container does not change its volume), so this means that the pressure of the gas, p, increases as well. The more heat is added, the more the temperature increases, the more the pressure increase: at some point, the pressure against the internal walls of the container will become so strong that the container will explode.

What is the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 400Hz and a wavelength of 0.5 meters
iren2701 [21]

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Let’s take for instance the case of a wave with a frequency of 400 Hz going through a material at a speed of .5 m/s. The wavelength result is 12 m. Wave velocity (m/s) = Frequency (Hz) x Wavelength (m)

laila [671]
 Mass have no effect for the projectile motion and  u want to know the  height "h"   
first,
        find the vertical and horizontal components of velocity 
 vertical component of velocity = 12 sin 61                  
horizontal component of velocity = 12 cos 61
now for the vertical motion ;               
             S = ut + (1/2) at^2
where
 s = h 
u = initial vertical component of velocity 
t = 0.473 s 
a = gravitational deceleration (-g) = -9.8 m/s^2    
       
         h=[12×sin 610×0.473]+[−9.8×(0.473)2] 

u can simplify this and u will get the answer

h=.5Gt2 

H=1.09m
