Answer:

The property of the wave marked X is related to the source of the wave

Explanation:

The source of of origin of waves

Electromagnetic wave are waves that consists of varying electric and magnetic field that vibrate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation of the wave and they are therefore transverse waves and transfer energy

Electromagnetic waves originate from the vibration of charged particles that gives off varying electric and magnetic fields

Mechanical waves are defined as waves that require a material medium such as air, water, metal, plastic, stretched leather, or wood to propagate

Mechanical waves originate from vibration of the particles of a medium

Sound waves which is a form of longitudinal mechanical waves that propagates by the vibration of the particles of a given medium about a point parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The change in temperature is $\Delta T = 1795 K$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature coefficient is $\alpha = 4 * 10^{-3 }\ k^{-1 }$

The resistance of the filament is mathematically represented as

$R = R_o [1 + \alpha \Delta T]$

Where $R_o$ is the initial resistance

Making the change in temperature the subject of the formula

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{R}{R_o} - 1 ]$

Now from ohm law

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

This implies that current varies inversely with current so

$\frac{R}{R_o} = \frac{I_o}{I}$

Substituting this we have

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{I} - 1 ]$

From the question we are told that

$I = \frac{I_o}{8}$

Substituting this we have

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{\frac{I_o}{8} } - 1 ]$

=> $\Delta T = \frac{1}{3.9 * 10^{-3}} (8 -1 )$

$\Delta T = 1795 K$

Which of the following equations is balanced?

Gnesinka [82]

Answer: c

Explanation:

The way to check which one is the correct one is to simply multiply and see if there are the same number of atoms in both sides for each element.

a. 2×2 atoms of Al ≠ 3×1 atoms of Al

2×3 atoms of O = 3×2 atoms of O

BOTH MUST BE EQUAL FOR IT TO BE ADJUSTED!!!!!

b. 3×2 atoms of Al ≠ 3×1 atoms of Al

3×3 atoms of O ≠ 2×2 atoms of O

c. 2×2 atoms of Al = 4×1 atoms of Al

2×3 atoms of O = 3×2 atoms of O

BOTH ARE EQUAL, CORRECT ANSWER!!!

d. 2×2 atoms of Al ≠ 1×1 atoms of Al

2×3 atoms of O = 3×2 atoms of O

A 11 g plastic ball is moving to the left at 29 m/s. How much work must be done on the ball to cause it to move to the right at

Rasek [7]

Answer:

4.25 J

Explanation:

Given that

mass of plastic ball = 11 g

Mass of plastic ball = 0.011 kg

velocity of ball = 29 m/s

We know that from work power energy theorem

$W_{all}=Change\ in\ kinetic\ energy\ of\ system$

We know that kinetic energy of moving mass given as

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Now by pitting the values

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.011\times 29^2$

KE= 4.25 J

So the work done on the ball is 4.25 J

According to the second law of thermodynamics, it is impossible for ____________. According to the second law of thermodynamics,

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

It's impossible for an ideal heat engine to have non-zero power.

Explanation:

Option A is incomplete and so it's possible.

Option B is possible

Option D is related to the first lae and has nothing to do with the second law.

Hence, the correct option is C.

The ideal engine follows a reversible cycle albeit an infinitely slow one. If the work is being done at this infinitely slow rate, the power of such an engine is zero.

We can also stat the second law of thermodynamics in this manner;

It is impossible to construct a cyclical heat engine whose sole effect is the continuous transfer of heat energy from a colder object to a hotter one.

This statement is known as second form or Clausius statement of the second law.

Thus, it is possible to construct a machine in which a heat flow from a colder to a hotter object is accompanied by another process, such as work input.
