T = 12.4 h, x(t) = .250 d (displacement)
The total amplitude is half of the distance d from the highest to lowest level. 
Using the equation x(t) = x(m) cos(wt + φ), we get: 

.250d = .5d cos(wt + φ) 
To find w, use the equation w = 2π / T 

.250d = .5d cos((2π / 12.4)t + φ) 

.250d = .5d cos((2π / 12.4)t + 0) 

Solve the equation for t. 
.250d / .5d = cos ((2π / 12.4) t) 
arccos(.5) = 2π / 12.4 * t 
arccos(.5) * 12.4 / 2 / π = t 
t = 2.066666 hours

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Q_T=63313.5\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • temperature of skin, T_s=34^{\circ}C
  • initial temperature of steam vapour, T_v=100^{\circ}C
  • latent heat of steam, L=2256\ J.g^{-1}
  • mass of steam, m=25\ g
  • specific heat of water, c=4190\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}=4.19\ J.g^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • final temperature, T_f=34^{\circ}C

<em>Assuming that no heat is lost in the surrounding.</em>

<u>We know:</u>

Q=m.c.\Delta T

<u>Now the total heat given by the steam to form water at the given conditions:</u>

Q_T=Q_{Lv}+Q_w ..............................(1)

where:

Q_{Lv}= latent heat given out by vapour to form water of 100°C

Q_w= heat given by water of 100°C to come at 34°C.

putting respective values in eq. (1)

Q_T=m(L+c.\Delta T)

Q_T=25(2256+4.19\times 66)

Q_T=63313.5\ J

is the heat transferred to the skin.

Carlos was camping and getting cold as the sun went down. He wanted to light a fire for warmth and light. However, he discovered
storchak [24]
1. The chemical reaction produced by Carlo's fire is exergonic because energy is "going out". As the reaction proceeds, entropy increases as the energy stored in the dry wood and leaves are used up as fuel to create the fire which produces low quality light and warmth.  

2. This reaction is a classic example of an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are characterized with the presence of heat and light in the products. Combustion reactions are always exothermic in nature.

3. Catalyst are substances that are used to speed up reactions by lowering the activation requirement. Catalysts aren't consumed in the reaction and can still be chemically retrieved afterwards. In this situation, the leaves cannot be retrieved after the reaction ends. The leaves speed up the heating of the wood but it does not behave as a catalyst.

I need help understanding this concept . Would appreciate it so much. Thank you
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both these questions are based on the Universal Law of Gravitation, which is given by :

F = Gm1m2 / r²

2) F = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 8 x 10³ x 1.5 x 10³ / 1.5 x 1.5

   F = 6.67 x 10⁻⁵ x 8 / 1.5

   F = 35.57 x 10⁻⁵ N

3) F = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 7.5 x 10⁵ x 9.2 x 10⁷ / 7.29 x 10⁴

   F = 6.67 x 10⁻³ x 7.5 x 9.2 / 7.29

   F = 63.13 x 10⁻³ N
