Answer:

Frequency = 260 Hz and wavelength = 1.31 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A hammer begins vibrating back and forth at approximately 260 cycles per second.

(a) The frequency of an object is the number of vibrations per unit time. The frequency of the sound wave is 260 Hz.

(b) The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. So,

v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{343}{260}\\\\\lambda=1.31\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules _______, the average
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules increases, the average force of an individual collision increases, and the average number of collisions with the wall, per unit area, per second increases.

As volume is reduced, the gas molecules come closer together, which increases the number of collisions between them and their collisions with the container walls. Also, since the distance traveled by each molecule between successive collision decreases, the molecule velocity doesn't decrease much within collisions as a result of which, the average velocity is higher compared to when the gas is stored in a larger volume. Finally, due to constant collisions, the direction of molecule travel changes rapidly owing to which the acceleration of molecules increases.

An aluminum cup contains 225 g of water and a 40 g copper stirrer, all at 27°C. A 410 g sample of silver at an initial temperatu
fomenos

Answer:

130.22 g

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of water Mw = 225 g

Mass of stirrer Ms = 40 g

Mass of silver M(S) = 410 g

By applying the law of conservation of energy:

(McCc + MsCs + MwCw)ΔTw = M(S)C(S)ΔT(S)

where Mc = Mass of cup

Cc = Specific heat capacity of aluminium cup = 900 J/gC

Cs = Specific heat capacity of copper stirrer = 387 J/gC

Cw = Specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/gC

ΔTw = change in temperature of water = 32 - 27 = 5 °C

C(S) = Specific heat capacity of silver = 234 J/gC

ΔT(S) = change in temperature of silver = 88 - 32 = 56 °C

Therefore:

[(Mc * 900) + (40 * 387) + (225 * 4186)] * 5 = 410 * 234 * 56

(900Mc + 957330) * 5 = 5276700

900Mc + 957330 = 5276700 / 5 = 1074528

900Mc = 1074528 - 957330

900Mc = 117198

Mc = 117198/ 900

Mc = 130.22 g

The mass of the cup is 130.22 g.
