In a device like the one shown below, the cylinder is allowed to fall a distance of 300 m. As a result, the temperature of the w

ater increases by 2.7°C. What would have been the increase in temperature if the cylinder were only allowed to fall 100 m?

Answer:

Increase in the temperature of water would be 0.9 degree C

Explanation:

As we know by energy conservation

Change in the gravitational potential energy of the cylinder = increase in the thermal energy of the water

Here we know that the gravitational potential energy of the cylinder is given as

U = mgh

here we have

h = 300 m

now we can say

Mc\Delta T = (m \times 9.8 \times 300)

now if the cylinder falls from height h = 100 m

then we have

Mc\Delta T' = (m \times 9.8 \times 100)

now from above two equations

\frac{\Delta T'}{\Delta T} = \frac{100}{300}

\Delta T' = 2.7 \times \frac{1}{3} = 0.9 Degree C

A sound wave traveling downward with a speed of about 4000 m per 2nd suddenly slows to 1500 m per 2nd not far below the Earth's
Helga [31]

Answer: the waves probably hits an open cavity

Explanation:

Sound waves transfers energy in form of vibration through water,the speed of sound is greatest in solids followed by liquids and gases,for we to observe such a reduction from 4000m/s to 1500m/s that means it sound had been transmitted through air like open cavity seen in intrusive rock beneath the earth.

how long does it take a car to accelerate from 3.4m/s to 20.9m/s if the average acceleration is 6.0m/s (squared).
Gre4nikov [31]

Average acceleration is the ratio of the change in velocity to the time it takes for that change to occur:

a_{\mathrm{av}}=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

We want to find \Delta t:

6.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{20.9\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-3.4\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{\Delta t}

\implies\Delta t=2.9\,\mathrm s

A grasshopper floating in water generates waves at a rate of three per second with a wavelength of two centimeters. (a) What is
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.33 second

(b) 6 cm/s

Explanation:

Frequency, f = 3 waves per second

wavelength, λ = 2 cm = 0.02 m

(a) The period of wave is defined as the time taken by the wave to complete one oscillation. It is the reciprocal of frequency.

T = 1 / f = 1 / 3 = 0.33 second

(b) the relation between wave velocity, frequency and wavelength is given by

v = f x λ

v = 3 x 0.02 = 0.06 m /s

v = 6 cm /s
