The wave travels at the speed of sound in water: v=1500 m/s.

The frequency of the wave is 
10 ms^{-1} = 10000 s^{-1} = 10000 Hz

so we can find its wavelength \lambda by using the basic relationship between frequency, wavelength and speed of the wave:
\lambda= \frac{v}{f}= \frac{1500 m/s}{10000 Hz}=0.150 m = 15 cm

¿Qué cantidad de calor absorbió una masa de 4 g de cinc al pasar de 20 °C a<br> 180 °C?
Alborosie

(amount of heat)Q = ? , (Mass) m= 4 g , ΔT = T f - T i = 180 c° - 20 °c = 160 °c ,

Ce = 0.093 cal/g. °c

Q = m C ΔT

Q = 4 g × 0.093 cal/g.c° × ( 180 °c- 20 °c )

Q= 4×0.093 × 160

Q = 59.52 cal

I hope I helped you^_^

If the column of mercury in a barometer stands at 72.6 cm, what is the atmospheric pressure?
lakkis [162]

Answer:pressure = density * acceleration due to gravity * height

H=72.6cm= 0.726m

P=0.726*13.6*10^3*9.8

P=96761.28Pa

A rubber balloon is filled with 1 L of air at 1 atm and 300 K and is then put into a cryogenic refrigerator at 100 K. The rubber
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are

(a) It decreases to 1/3 L

(ii) is (c) It is constant

Explanation:

to solve this, we list out the number of knowns and unknowns so as to determine the correct equation to solve the problem

The given variables are as follows

Initial volume V1 = 1L

V2 = Unknown

Initial Temperature T1 = 300K

let us assume that the balloon is perfectly elastic

At 300K the balloon is filled and it stretches to maintain 1 atmosphere

at 100K the content of the balloon cools reducing the excitement of the gas content which also reduces the pressure, however, the balloon being perfectly elastic, contracts to maintain the 1 atmospheric pressure, hence the answer to (ii) is (c) It is constant,

For (i) since we know that the pressure of the balloon is constant

by Charles Law V1/T1 =V2/T2

or V2 = (V1/T1)×T2 =\frac{1L}{300K}× 100K= \frac{1}{3} × L = L/3 hence the correct answer to (i) is 1/3L

Which of the following would most likely be considered nonpoint source pollution
fredd [130]
The best answer is b) increased turbidity from erosion.

Nonpoint source pollution generally happens as a result of many systems interacting, and is not directly attributed to one event or pollutant. Generally, natural environmental systems participate in pollution of this kind, regardless of whether or not human activity was a factor. Examples include water runoff, or erosion. 

The other pollutants listed have a direct cause and direct effect, the animal waste goes directly from the animals to the ground they live on, the car shop directly sumps the oil on the ground, and the oil tank leaks directly into the earth. Erosion causing turbidity is a less direct form of pollution, and is due to the synthesis of several natural phenomena<span />

A proton in a particle accelerator is traveling at a speed of 0.99c.(a) If you use the approximate nonrelativistic equation for
____ [38]

Answer:

a)  p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ kg m / s , b)  p = 35 .18 10⁻¹⁹  kg m / s ,

c)  p_correst / p_approximate = 7.09

Explanation:

a) The moment is defined in classical mechanics as

                 p = m v

Let's calculate its value

               p = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 0.99 3. 10⁸

               p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ kg m / s

b) in special relativity the moment is defined as

               p = m v / √(1 –v² / c²)

Let's calculate

                p = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 0.99 10⁸/ √(1- 0.99²)

                p = 4.96 10⁻¹⁹ / 0.141

                p = 35 .18 10⁻¹⁹  kg m / s

c) the relationship between the two values ​​is

            p_correst / p_approximate = 35.18 / 4.96

            p_correst / p_approximate = 7.09
