A mechanical wave is a wave where there's
some material doing the waving.

Examples:

-- ripples on water
-- waves on a rope
-- waves on a spring
-- waves on a Slinky
-- sound waves in air
-- seismic waves in rock
-- vibrations on a guitar string
-- vibrations on a violin string

State the difference between sensible heat and latent heat
Anna11 [10]

<u>Latent hea</u>t is related to changes in phase between liquids ,gases and solids.

<u>Sensible heat</u> is related to changes in temperature of a gas or object with no change in phase.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Complete Question

A parallel-plate capacitor, with air dielectric, is charged by a battery, after which the battery is disconnected. A slab of glass dielectric is then slowly inserted between the plates. As it is being inserted,  

A :

a force repels the glass out of the capacitor.  

B :

a force attracts the glass into the capacitor.    

C :

no force acts on the glass.      

D :

a net charge appears on the glass.      

E :

the glass makes the plates repel each other.

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Generally when the glass dielectric is slowly inserted between the plated,

The positive plate of the capacitor will induce a negative charge on the glass while the negative  plate of the capacitor will induce a positive charge on glass which a electric field that posses an electric force that will attract the glass

Consider a 20 cm thick granite wall with a thermal conductivity of 2.79 W/m·K. The temperature of the left surface is held const
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

Explanation:

Thickness of the wall is  L=  20cm = 0.2m

Thermal conductivity of the wall is  K = 2.79 W/m·K

Temperature at the left side surface is T₁ =  50°C

Temperature of the air is T = 22°C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is  h = 15 W/m2·K

Heat conduction process through wall is equal to the heat convection process so

Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}

Expression for the heat conduction process is

Q_{conduction} = \frac{K(T_1 - T)}{L}

Expression for the heat convection process is

Q_{convection} = h(T_2 - T)

Substitute the expressions of conduction and convection in equation above

Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}

\frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L} = h(T_2 - T)

Substitute the values in above equation

\frac{2.79(50- T_2)}{0.2} = 15(T_2 - 22)\\\\T_2 = 35.5^\circC

Now heat flux through the wall can be calculated as

q_{flux} = Q_{conduction} \\\\q_{flux}  = \frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L}\\\\q_{flux}  = \frac{2.79(50 - 35.5)}{0.2}\\\\q_{flux} = 202.3W/m^2

Thus, the right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²
