The colonists were making soap. A lot of people don't know that soap is the result of reacting a base (potassium hydroxide) and an acid (animal fat) which produces a salt which is the white stuff we see in soap. This process is called saponification. Manufacturers just put additives like colors and scents to make them more appealing.

When a mass M hangs from a vertical wire of length L, waves travel on this wire with a speed V. What will be the speed of these
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

a)  v = 0.7071 v₀, b) v= v₀, c)  v = 0.577 v₀, d)   v = 1.41 v₀, e)  v = 0.447 v₀

Explanation:

The speed of a wave along an eta string given by the expression

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{ \mu } }

where T is the tension of the string and μ is linear density

a) the mass of the cable is double

          m = 2m₀

let's find the new linear density

          μ = m / l

iinitial density

          μ₀ = m₀ / l

final density

          μ = 2m₀ / lo

          μ = 2 μ₀

we substitute in the equation for the velocity

initial            v₀ = \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{ \mu_o} }

with the new dough

                    v = \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{ 2 \mu_o} }

                    v = 1 /√2  \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{ \mu_o} }

                    v = 1 /√2 v₀

                    v = 0.7071 v₀

b) we double the length of the cable

If the cable also increases its mass, the relationship is maintained

              μ = μ₀

   in this case the speed does not change

c) the cable l = l₀ and m = 3m₀

we look for the density

           μ = 3m₀ / l₀

           μ = 3 m₀/l₀

           μ = 3 μ₀

            v = \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{ 3 \mu_o} }

            v = 1 /√3  v₀

            v = 0.577 v₀

d) l = 2l₀

            μ = m₀ / 2l₀

            μ = μ₀/ 2

           v = \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{ \frac{ \mu_o}{2} } }

           v = √2 v₀

            v = 1.41 v₀

e) m = 10m₀ and l = 2l₀

we look for the density

             μ = 10 m₀/2l₀

             μ = 5 μ₀

we look for speed

             v = \sqrt{ \frac{T_o}{5 \mu_o} }

             v = 1 /√5  v₀

             v = 0.447 v₀

Why is a flower not a good blackbody radiator?
artcher [175]

Answer:

The answer is O C. A flower absorbs most of the light that hits it.

Explanation:

  • <u><em> blackbody radiator is defined as an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that falls on it at all frequencies over all angles of incidence.</em></u>
  • <u><em> No radiation is reflected from such an object. According to thermodynamic arguments embodied in Kirchhoff's law, a good absorber is also a good emitter.</em></u>
