Answer : A sound wave traveling eastward through air causes the air molecules to vibrate east and west

Explanation :

We know that the sound wave is a longitudinal wave. The particles of medium travels in the direction of propagation of the wave. The space where the particles are closely spaced is called compression and the space where the particles are far apart is called rarefaction. Also, the distance between two consecutive compression and rarefaction is called the wavelength.

If the sound wave is travelling in eastward direction, then the air molecules will move in the direction of propagation of wave. They will vibrate either in east or west direction.

So, the correct option is (1) " vibrate east and west ".

To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever divide the input arm by the

Ivanshal [37]

To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever divide the input arm by the output arm.
Mechanical advantage is the amount by which a machine can multiply an input force, calculated by dividing output Force in newtons by input force in newtons, while the ideal mechanical advantage is the mechanical advantage of a machine that has no friction, calculated by dividing the input distance by the output distance.

A total of 25.6 kJ of heat energy is added to a 5.46 L sample of helium at 0.991 atm. The gas is allowed to expand against a fix

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(a) W = 1329.5 J = 1.33 KJ

(b) ΔU = 24.27 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

Work done by the gas can be found by the following formula:

$W = P\Delta V$

where,

W = Work = ?

P = constant pressure = (0.991 atm)( $\frac{101325\ Pa}{1\ atm}$ ) = 100413 Pa

ΔV = Change in Volume = 18.7 L - 5.46 L = (13.24 L)( $\frac{0.001\ m^3}{1\ L}$ ) = 0.01324 m³

Therefore,

W = (100413 Pa)(0.01324 m³)

W = 1329.5 J = 1.33 KJ

(b)

Using the first law of thermodynamics:

ΔU = ΔQ - W (negative W for the work done by the system)

where,

ΔU = change in internal energy of the gas = ?

ΔQ = heat added to the system = 25.6 KJ

Therefore,

ΔU = 25.6 KJ - 1.33 KJ

ΔU = 24.27 KJ
