Answer:

Wave X has a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

It is given that, two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed.

Speed of a wave is given by :

$v=\nu\times \lambda$

Where,

$\nu$ is frequency

$\lambda$ is wavelength

The relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse. Wave X has greater frequency than Y, then wave X has a shorter wavelength.

Hence, the correct option is (B) "has a shorter wavelength".

A ‘thermal tap’ used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which

abruzzese [7]

Correct question is;

A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).

Answer:

ΔT = 268.67K

Explanation:

We are given;

d1 = 8mm

d2 = 1mm

At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.

Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,

Using the combined gas law, we have;

P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2

The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah

Thus;

V1 = (πd1²/4)h

V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h

Thus;

(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2

π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;

d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2

T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²

T2 = (1² × T1)/8²

T2 = 273/64

T2 = 4.23K

Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 273 - 4.23

ΔT = 268.67K

Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K

4) (5 points) Given are the magnitudes and orientations (with respect to x-axis) of 3

Kazeer [188]

Expand each vector into their component forms:

$\vec A=(4.5\,\mathrm N)(\cos\theta_A\,\vec\imath+\sin\theta_A\,\vec\jmath)=(2.58\,\vec\imath+3.69\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm N$

Similarly,

$\vec B=(-1.23\,\vec\imath+0.860\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm N$

$\vec C=(-3.44\,\vec\imath-4.91\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm N$

Then assuming the resultant vector $\vec R$ is the sum of these three vectors, we have

$\vec R=\vec A+\vec B+\vec C$

$\vec R=(-2.09\,\vec\imath-0.368\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm N$

and so $\vec R$ has magnitude

$\|\vec R\|=\sqrt{(-2.09)^2+(-0.368)^2}\,\mathrm N\approx2.12\,\mathrm N$

and direction $\theta_R$ such that

$\tan\theta_R=\dfrac{-0.368}{-2.09}\implies\theta_R=-170^\circ=190^\circ$

A wheel accelerates from rest to 34.7 rad/s at a rate of 47.0 rad/s^2. Through what angle (in radians) did the wheel turn while

dem82 [27]

12.8 rad

Explanation:

The angular displacement $\theta$ through which the wheel turned can be determined from the equation below:

$\omega^2 = \omega_0^2 + 2\alpha\theta$ (1)

where

$\omega_0 = 0$

$\omega = 34.7\:\text{rad/s}$

$\alpha = 47.0\:\text{rad/s}^2$

Using these values, we can solve for $\theta$ from Eqn(1) as follows:

$2\alpha\theta = \omega^2 - \omega_0^2$

or

$\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_0^2}{2\alpha}$

$\:\:\:\:= \dfrac{(34.7\:\text{rad/s})^2 - 0}{2(47.0\:\text{rad/s}^2)}$

$\:\:\:\:= 12.8\:\text{rad}$
