What is the relationship between distance and sound wave return time?

1 answer:

6 0

The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.

Which law of thermodynamics would be violated if heat were to spontaneously flow between two objects of equal temperature?

maks197457 [2]

<span>Actually the second law of thermodynamics would truly gets violated ie, which means that the entrophy changes of the isolated system can never be negative, which covers the above that if heat were to spontaneously flow between any two objects of equal temperature would be fully violated.</span>

After striking both mirrors, at what angle relative to the incoming ray does the outgoing ray emerge?

PIT_PIT [208]

The appropriate response is Zero degrees. The beam will leave the two mirrors along a way parallel to the one it came in on. This is the guideline of the corner reflector, which is frequently utilized as a radar target. Take note of that the corner reflector utilizes three reflecting surfaces (that are set up at 90o from each other) rather than the two like are being utilized here. Wikipedia has a truly awesome drawing that shows this two-dimentional issue pleasantly. A moment connection is given to the article on the corner reflector and the 3-D angles.

Steam is leaving a pressure cooker whose operating pressure is 20 psia. It is observed that the amount of liquid in the cooker h

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a) 34.05ft/s

b).1156.2BTU/lbm

c) 2.04BTU/s

Explanation:

Amount of liquid that has evaporated, m = ◇Vliq/ Vf

We replace the values to make conversion

m = (0.6gal/ 0.01683ft^3/lbm) × (0.13368ft^3/1gal)

m = 4.755lb

The mass flow rate of exit steam is given by:

m' = m/◇t

We replace values to make conversion

m' =( 4.766lb/45min) = 0.1059lb/min × 1min/60s

m' = 0.001765lb/s

The exit velocity V = m'/pA = m'Vg/A

We replace values to make conversion

V =[ (0.001765lbm/s)(20.093ft^3/lbm) /(0.15 in^2)]× (144in^2/1ft^2)

V = 34.05ft/s

b) The total and flow energies per unit mass is given by:

Eflow= Pv = h - u

We replace the values to make conversion

Eflow = 1156.2 - 1081.8

Eflow = 74.4BTU/lbm

Therefore theta= h + ke + pe

Theta approximately =h = 1156.2BTU/lbs

c) The rate at which energy is leaving the cooler by steam is given by:

Emass = m'theta

Emass = (0.001765)×(1156.2)

Emass = 2.04BTU/s

What is demonstrated by water moving up a straw?

Alja [10]

<span>The answer is C: water is drawn up a straw by cohesion and adhesion. Water molecules stick to one another and the walls of the straw, just like in a capillary.
Cohesion is the attractive force between like materials (between water
molecules).
Adhesion is the attractive force between twounlike materials (such as between
water and a solid container).
Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise innarrow tubes or small openings as a result of adhesion and cohesion.
The liquid water molecules bind to the straw—a process known as adhesion. In the narrow space of the straw, the interaction of cohesion and adhesion causes theliquid to be drawn upward in the straw.</span>

Find the radioactivity of a 1 g sample of 226Ra given that <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t_%7B1%2F2%7D%3D1620" id="TexFormul

dangina [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

No of atoms of Ra in 1 g of sample = 6.023 x 10²³ / 226

N = 2.66 x 10²¹

disintegration constant λ = .693 / half life

half life = 1620 x 365 x 60 x 60 x 24 = 5.1 x 10¹⁰ s

disintegration constant λ = .693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰

radioactivity dn / dt = λN

= (.693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰ ) x 2.66 x 10²¹

= .3614 x 10¹¹ per sec

= 3.614 x 10¹⁰ / s
