Answer:

0.657 seconds

Explanation:

speed of wave= wavelength / time period

so

time period= wavelength / speed

= 4.6/7

=0.657 sec

A cyclical heat engine, operating between temperatures of 450º C and 150º C produces 4.00 MJ of work on a heat transfer of 5.00
gogolik [260]

Answer:

(a) Heat transfer to the environment is: 1 MJ and (b) The efficiency of the engine is: 41.5%

Explanation:

Using the formula that relate heat and work from the thermodynamic theory as:W=Q=Q_{in}-Q_{out} solving to Q_out we get:Q_{out}=Q_{in}-W=5(MJ)-4(MJ)=1(MJ) this is the heat out of the cycle or engine, so it will be heat transfer to the environment. The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle gives us: n=1-\frac{T_{Low} }{T_{High}} where T_Low is the lowest cycle temperature and T_High the highest, we need to remember that a Carnot cycle depends only on the absolute temperatures, if you remember the convertion of K=°C+273.15 so T_Low=150+273.15=423.15 K and T_High=450+273.15=723.15K and replacing the values in the equation we get:n=1-\frac{423.15}{723.15} =0.415=41.5%

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.

The answer is A. Photosynthesis is caused when plants trap light energy in their leaves and use that energy to change water and carbon dioxide into glucose. Hope this helps :)
