Answer:

The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength. ... The more rigid (or less compressible) the medium, the faster the speed of sound

Answer:

The speed of sound can change when sound travels from one medium to another. However, the frequency usually remains the same because it is like a driven oscillation and has the frequency of the original source. If vw changes and f remains the same, then the wavelength λ must change.

Answer:

Amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater = 40 g

Explanation:

According to Archimedes principle, a body will float in a fluid if the upthrust experienced by a body is equal to the to the weight of the body.

Also, the volume of seawater displaced equals the volume of freshwater in the cup.

From the above principle, since the freshwater and cup floats in the seawater, their combined weight equals the upthrust.

Therefore, mass of equal volume of displaced seawater = mass of freshwater + mass of cup

Mass of freshwater = density of freshwater * volume

density of freshwater = 1 g/mL; volume = 375 mL

mass of freshwater = 375 mL * 1 g/mL = 375 g

mass of seawater = 375 + 15 = 390 g

mass of salt in 375 mL seawater = mass of seawater - mass of freshwater

mass of salt = (390 - 375) g = 15 g

Since 15 g of salt are dissolved in 375 mL seawater, mass of salt in 1 L of seawater =(1000 mL/ 375) * 15g = 40 g

Therefore, amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater = 40 g

Na+ and Cl- __________ ___________________________ Na+ and PO4 3- __________ ___________________________ Na+ and SO4 2- ________

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

Be sure to answer all parts. What is the effect of each of the following on the volume of 1 mol of an ideal gas? (a) The pressur

aksik [14]

Answer

A)The volume decreases by a factor of 4

B), the volume has increased by factor of 2

Explanation:

A)Given:

P1= 760Kpa

P2 =202Kpa

The temperature changes from37C to155C

There is increase In pressure from P1 to P2

P1= 760torr.

We need to convert to Kpa

But, 1atm= 760torr

Then 760torr 101000pa

Then 101000pa = 101Kpa

We need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin

T1= 37+273= 310K

But from ideal gas, we know that PV = nRT where nR is constant

Where P= pressure

V= volume

T= temperature

n = number of moles

(P1V1/T1)=(P2V2/T2)

V1/V2 = P2/P1 * T1/T2

V1/V2 = (202/101)*(310/155)

V1/V2=4

$V2= V1/4$

Therefore, the volume has decreased by factor of 4

Given:

P1= 2atm

P2 =101Kpa

The temperature changes from 305K to 32C

There is increase In pressure from P1 to P2

P1= 2atm

We need to convert to Kpa

But, 1atm= 760torr

Then 760torr 101000pa

Then 101000pa = 101Kpa

P1= 202.65kpa

We need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin

T2= 32+273= 305K

But from ideal gas, we know that PV = nRT

Where P= pressure

V= volume

T= temperature

n = number of moles

(P1V1/T1)=(P2V2/T2)

V1/V2 = P2/P1 * T1/T2

V1/V2 = (202/101)

V1/V2 = (101/202.65)*(305/305)

V1/V2 = 1/2

$V2=2V1$

Therefore, the volume has increased by factor of 2

“STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO REDUCE FUEL CONSUMPTION AT HOME

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Drive only when needed. The best way to reduce the fuel consumption is to simply drive your car less. Drive your car only when you really need to. If you only need to travel a few blocks, consider walking or even riding a bicycle. Not only will you save money at the pump, the exercise will certainly do you some good

Make sure the gas cap is on tight. One reason you may not be getting the mileage you expect is because there isn't as much gas in your tank as you think. 147 million gallons of gas were lost last year due to evaporation. Why did it evaporate? The gas cap was not on tight. So just make sure it is tight, and it will enable you to keep all the gas you pay for

Avoid idling. When you do need to drive your car, make sure you avoid idling whenever possible. When your car is running, but not moving, your gas mileage is absolute zero. So if your car will remain stationary for more than a minute or so, switch the engine off. However, only do this when it is safe to do so

Accelerate and break steadily. While driving, always apply steady and consistent pressure to your car's accelerator pedal. A heavy foot will always result in reduced gas mileage and poor fuel consumption

Drive the speed limit. Always try to drive at or near the speed limit. The optimal traveling speed for every make and model vehicle is different. However, the faster you drive, the worse your gas mileage and fuel consumption will be. Drive as fast as you need to in order to maintain a safe driving speed. But, save highway driving speeds for the highway and not around town

Coast when possible. Constantly accelerating and braking only wastes fuel and reduces your car's fuel consumption. So, whenever possible, coast and avoid burning excess fuel. This takes a little practice, but can be a great way to increase the fuel economy of your vehicle

Use cruise control on the highways. Cruise control means that your car will be going at a constant velocity, which means there is no acceleration. No acceleration reduces the amount of work your engine does, and therefore it uses less gas. You should set your cruise control at the speed limit, because 55 miles per hour is the perfect speed for maximum fuel efficiency

Make your car more aerodynamic. You can do so by removing the roof racks on top of the car, and also by decreasing the weight of the car by taking out unneeded items

Keep the windows closed. The more aerodynamic your vehicle remains, the better your car's fuel efficiency. Keeping your windows down while driving creates more drag and wind resistance for your automobile. If you are driving at speeds of less than 35 mph, it is usually okay to keep the windows down. However, at higher speeds, you should keep the windows up order to reduce drag and improve fuel consumption

Minimize air conditioning. There will be times, of course, when summer heat will cause you to use the air conditioning system. However, use the AC in moderation. If you need to choose between keeping your windows rolled down or using the AC at high speeds, use the air conditioning on a low setting

Replace dirty air filters. Dirty air filters cause your car's engine to work much harder than it has to and always results in poor fuel economy. So, make sure you follow the manufacturer's recommendation for periodically changing out the air filter. A clean air filter allows your engine to perform more efficiently and also helps you save money at the pump

Maintain proper tire inflation. Check your car owner's manual and always ensure your tires are inflated to the proper air pressure level. Improperly inflated tires can reduce your car's fuel economy by up to five percent in some cases. This is quite simply a complete waste of fuel and money

Reduce weight in the vehicle. Get rid of any unnecessary items in your car's trunk or other areas of the vehicle. For every 100 pounds of weight in the vehicle, your car's fuel economy decreases by about one or two percent. By making sure your vehicle remains as light as possible, you can improve the fuel consumption of your vehicle and save money on your fuel bill

Sorry it's really long :P but hope this helped
