Answer: B) Methyl alcohol requires less than half as much energy per kg to evaporate than water does

Explanation:

Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert 1 kilo gram of liquid into its vapor state without change in its temperature.

Heat of vaporization is more for water than for methyl alcohol which means more heat is required to convert from liquid to vapour form.

As the Heat of vaporization for methyl alcohol (1100) is almost half as that of Heat of vaporization for water (2257) , it means Methyl alcohol requires less than half as much energy per kg to evaporate than water does.

2.) Explain why the starting angle doesnt impact the time it takes the pendulum to swing back and forth?

melomori [17]

The starting angle θθ of a pendulum does not affect its period for θ<<1θ<<1. At higher angles, however, the period TT increases with increasing θθ.

The relation between TT and θθ can be derived by solving the equation of motion of the simple pendulum (from F=ma)

−gsinθ=lθ¨−gain⁡θ=lθ¨

For small angles, θ≪1,θ≪1, and hence sinθ≈θsin⁡θ≈θ. Hence,

θ¨=−glθθ¨=−glθ

This second-order differential equation can be solved to get θ=θ0cos(ωt),ω=gl−−√θ=θ0cos⁡(ωt),ω=gl. The period is thus T=2πω=2πlg−−√T=2πω=2πlg, which is independent of the starting angle θ0θ0.

For large angles, however, the above derivation is invalid. Without going into the derivation, the general expression of the period is T=2πlg−−√(1+θ2016+...)T=2πlg(1+θ0216+...). At large angles, the θ2016θ0216 term starts to grow big and cause

What effect does a parachute have on the frictional force acting on the parachutist?

Schach [20]

Answer: Air resistance and/or drag.

Explanation: The parachute adds drag to the parachutist, thus making him fall slower and safely to the ground.

How does the gravitational pull of the blue supergiants impact the direction of your star?

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Blue supergiants represent a slower burning phase in the death of a massive star. Due to core nuclear reactions being slightly slower, the star contracts and since very similar energy is coming from a much smaller area (photosphere) then the star's surface becomes much hotter.

I know this may not be the answer youre looking for, but hopefully this can help somehow!

When water waves meet, they can combine to form new waves. In constructive waves, a ________ amplitude wave is formed. In destru

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed. (option A)

Explanation:

Interference is called the superposition or sum of two or more waves. Depending mainly on the wavelengths, amplitudes and the relative distance between them, there are two types of interference: constructive or destructive.

Constructive interference occurs when there are two waves of identical or similar frequency (both have motions equal to an even number of similar wavelengths) and overlap the peak of one with the peak of the other. These effects add together and make a wave of greater amplitude. All of this is possible because the waves were in the same phase in the beginning (in the same position).

Destructive interference occurs in the opposite case to constructive. When the crest of one wave overlaps the valley of the other, they cancel out since they are in different phases when they overlap (they were in different positions). That is, as in the case of constructive waves they were added, in the case of destructive waves they cancel out (subtract).

So, In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed.
