Answer:

Density decreases, Volume increases

Explanation:

As the temperature decreases, the water contracts. Water has maximum density at 4° C. Thereafter, on further decrease in temperature, the water expands on cooling. Actually the water molecules crystallizes into open hexagonal structure. Thus, volume increases and density decreases. This is the reason that ice floats on water. The mass remains the same.

Answer:

Its density decreases, and its volume increases

Explanation:

Density is defined as Mass/Volume. What happens when water transforms into ice is that its density decreases because the volume the molecules now occupy increases.

The denominator of the rational expression $\frac{Mass}{Volume}$ is now larger (while the numerator stays the same), so the quotient gives a smaller number.

Answer:

(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.

(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave

The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.

Suppose a plot of inverse wavelength vs frequency has slope equal to 0.119, what is the speed of sound traveling in the tube to

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

$m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}$

Now,

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}$

$\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s$

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s

A weight of 30.0 N is suspended from a spring that has a force constant of 220 N/m. The system is undamped and is subjected to a

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

$F_0 = 393 N$

Explanation:

As we know that amplitude of forced oscillation is given as

$A = \frac{F_0}{ m(\omega^2 - \omega_0^2)}$

here we know that natural frequency of the oscillation is given as

$\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

here mass of the object is given as

$m = \frac{W}{g}$

$\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{220}{\frac{30}{9.81}}}$

$\omega_0 = 8.48 rad/s$

angular frequency of applied force is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(10.5) = 65.97 rad/s$

now we have

$0.03 = \frac{F_0}{3.06(65.97^2 - 8.48^2)}$

$F_0 = 393 N$

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, $E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, $V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V$

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

$E=eV$

e is charge of electron

$E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4$

$E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J$

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is $8\times 10^{-15}\ J$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A thermally insulated vessel containing a gas whose molar mass is equal to M and the ratio of specific heats cP /cV = γ moves wi

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp

Explanation:

Formula for Kinetic energy of the vessel = 1/2mv^2

Increase in internal energy Δu = nCVΔT

where n is the number of moles of the gas in vessel.

When the vessel is to stop suddenly, its kinetic energy will be used to increase the temperature of the gas

We say

1/2mv^2 = ∆u

1/2mv^2 = nCv∆T

Since n = m/M

1/2mv^2 = mCv∆T/M

Making ∆T subject of the formula we have

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv

Multiple the RHS by Cp/Cp

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv *Cp/Cp

Since Y = Cp/CV

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp k

Since CV = R/Y - 1

We could also have

∆T = Mv^2(Y - 1)/2R k
