11. Scientists put a sample of water into a sealed tank. Water can be a solid, liquid, or gas. At first, the water was a liquid.
leva [86]

Answer:

c . slower and started moving in place.

Explanation:

Matter can exist generally in three phases, as a solid, liquid or gas. But it can be transformed from one phase to another by the removal or application of heat energy.

The water was initially in a liquid form in the sealed tank until energy was transferred out of the substance. Thus, this causes a change of state in which the water turns to a solid. Whereby during the process, the molecules of the water moved slowly until they are fixed at a point, and vibrates individually at their individual point.

Therefore the molecules of water moved slower and stated moving in place (i.e vibrating at a point). The water turns to an ice.

a painting in an art gallery has height h and is hung so that its lower edge is a distance d above the eye of an observer. How f
harkovskaia [24]

Solution:

With reference to Fig. 1

Let 'x' be the distance from the wall

Then for \DeltaDAC:

tan\theta = \frac{d}{x}

⇒ \theta = tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}

Now for the \DeltaBAC:

tan\theta = \frac{d + h}{x}

⇒ \theta = tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x}

Now, differentiating w.r.t x:

\frac{d\theta }{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} -  tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}]

For maximum angle, \frac{d\theta }{dx} = 0

Now,

0 = [/tex]\frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} -  tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}][/tex]

0 = \frac{-(d + h)}{(d + h)^{2} + x^{2}} -\frac{-d}{x^{2} + d^{2}}

\frac{-(d + h)}{(d + h)^{2} + x^{2}} = \frac{{d}{x^{2} + d^{2}}

After solving the above eqn, we get

x = \sqrt{\frac{d}{d + h}}

The observer should stand at a distance equal to x = \sqrt{\frac{d}{d + h}}

The following is the longitudinal characteristic equation for an F-89 flying at 20,000 feet at Mach 0.638. The Short Period natu
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete  attached below is the missing part  

answer : short period oscillations frequency  = 0.063 rad / sec

              phugoid oscillations natural frequency ( w_{np} ) = 4.27 rad/sec

Explanation:

first we have to state the general form of the equation

= ( S^2 + 2\alpha _{p} w_{np} S + w^{2} _{np} ) (S^{2} + 2\alpha _{s} w_{ns}S + w^{2} _{ns}  ) = 0

where :

w_{np}  = Natural frequency of plugiod oscillation

\alpha _{p} = damping ratio of plugiod  oscilations

comparing the general form with the given equation

w^{2} _{np}  = 18.2329

w^{2} _{ns} = 0.003969

hence the short period oscillation frequency ( w_{ns} ) =  0.063 rad/sec

phugoid oscillations natural frequency ( w_{np} ) = 4.27 rad/sec

During which two time intervals does the particle undergo equal displacement?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

BC and DE

Explanation:

In the given figure, the velocity time graph is shown. We know that the area under v-t curve gives the displacement of the particle.

Area under AB, d_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10=10\ m

Area under BC, d_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m

Area under CD, d_3=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 7=7\ m

Area under DE, d_4=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m

Area under EF, d_5=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3=3\ m

So, form above calculations it is clear that, during BC and DE undergo equal displacement. Hence, the correct option is (c) "BC and DE = 4 meters".

A power station with an efficiency e generates W watts of electric power and dissipates D J of heat energy each second to the co
Andrews [41]

Answer: 13.94 tons/s

Explanation:

On adding heat energy to a substance, the temperature would be changed by a particular amount. This relationship between heat energy and temperature is often different for each material. The specific heat, is a value that describes how they relate.

Heat energy = mass flow rate * specific heat * Δ T

Q = MC (ΔΦ)

Heat energy, Q= 3.5*10^8J

Mass flow rate, M= ?

Specific heat, C= 4184j/KgC

Change in temperature, ΔΦ= 6°C

M = Q/CΔΦ

M = (3.5*10^8)/4184*6

M = 13942kg/s

M = 13.94 tons/s
