Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa  

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

P=\rho gh

Where

\rho is the density of air, \rho=1.225\ kg/m^3

So,

P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

The diagram shows a heat engine. In which area of the diagram is unusable thermal energy detected?
Marat540 [252]
Nope, I disagree with the former answer. The answer is definitely Z. <u>W area</u> (boxed with red outline) is represented as the hot reservoir while <u>Z area</u> is the cold reservoir (boxed with blue outline). X area is the heat engine itself and Y area is the work produced from thermal energy from hot reservoir. Typically, all heat engines lose some heat to the environment (based from the second law of thermodynamics) that is symbolically illustrated by the lost energy in the cold reservoir. This lost thermal energy is basically the unusable thermal energy. The higher thermal energy lost, the less efficient your heat engine is.

Write an expression for a transverse harmonic wave that has a wavelength of 2.5 m and propagates to the right with a speed of 13
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

y = 0.14 Cos\left ( 2.512x-34.66t \right )

Explanation:

wavelength, λ = 2.5 m

speed, v = 13.8 m/s

Amplitude, A = 0.14 m

The general equation of the transverse harmonic wave which is travelling right is given by

y = A Sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{\lambda } (x - vt)+\phi \right  )

where, Ф is phase

At t = 0, x = 0 , y = 0.14 m

0.14 = 0.14 Sin Ф

Ф = π/2

So, the equation is

y = 0.14Sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{2.5 } (x - 13.8t)+\frac{\pi }{2} \right  )

y = 0.14 Cos\left ( 2.512x-34.66t \right )
