Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

1) There are two main types of waves;

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves usually require a medium for propagation, e.g sound, waves on a spiral spring, etc

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for propagation e.g microwaves, x-rays etc

2) The phenomenon is known as refraction. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media because of the change in the speed of a wave as it moves from one medium to another.

What will be the final temperature if a 4.00 g silver ring at 41.0◦C if it gives off 18.0 J of heat to the surroundings? The spe

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Final temperature, $T_f=21.85^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of silver ring, m = 4 g

Initial temperature, $T_i=41^{\circ}C$

Heat released, Q = -18 J (as heat is released)

Specific heat capacity of silver, $c=0.235\ J/g\ C$

To find,

Final temperature

Solution,

The expression for the specific heat is given by :

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$Q=mc(T_f-T_i)$

$T_f=\dfrac{-Q}{mc}+T_i$

$T_f=\dfrac{-18}{4\times 0.235}+41$

$T_f=21.85^{\circ}$

So, the final temperature of silver is 21.85 degrees Celsius.

A parallel-plate capacitor has area A and plate separation d, and it is charged to voltage V. Use the formulas from the problem

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

U = (ε0AV^2) / 2d

Explanation:

Where C= capacitance of the capacitor

ε0= permittivity of free space

A= cross sectional area of plates

d= distance between the plates

V= potential difference

First, the capacitance of a capacitor is obtained by:

C = ε0A/d.

Starting at the formula , U= (CV^2)/2. Formula for energy stored in a capacitor

Substitute in for C:

U = (ε0A/d) * V^2 / 2

Hence:

U = (ε0AV^2) / 2d

A pan hangs from a 50 cm spring. When a 10 kg mass is placed in the pan, it stretches the spring 6 cm. What is a function rule l

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

A Spring stretches / compresses when force is applied on them and they are governed by the Hookes Law which states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched.

$F = -kx$

F is the force applied and x is the elongation of the spring

k is the spring constant.

negative sign indicates the change in direction from equilibrium position.

In the given question, we dont have force but we know that the pan is hanging. We also know from the Newton's second law of motion that

$F=mg$

Inserting this into Hooke's Law

$mg=-kx$

computing it for x,

$-x=mg/k$

This is the model which will tell the length of the spring against change in the mass located in the pan.

A total Δν of 15 km/s is required to achieve an interplanetary mission. The proposed rocket has two stages. The first stage alon

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

102000 kg

Explanation:

Given:

A total Δν = 15 km/s

first stage mass = 1000 tonnes

specific impulse of liquid rocket = 300 s

Mass flow rate of liquid fuel = 1500 kg/s

specific impulse of solid fuel = 250 s

Mass flow of solid fuel = 200 kg/s

First stage burn time = 1 minute = 1 × 60 seconds = 60 seconds

Now,

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = 1500 × 60 = 90000 kg

Also,

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = 200 × 60 = 12000 kg

Therefore,

The total jettisoned mass flow of the fuel in first stage

= 90000 kg + 12000 kg

= 102000 kg
