Answer:

longitudinal waves are waves that propagate in the same direction as the direction of movement of ìts particles, for example - sound

whereas

Transverse waves are waves that propagate perpendicular to the direction of movement of its particles, for example- light

Answer:

In a transverse wave, the particles are displayed perpendicular to the direction the wave travels . in a longitudinal wave the particles are are displayed parallel to the direction the wave travels. an example of longitudinal waves in compressions moving along a slinky.

Two people, one with mass m1 and the other with mass m2, stand on a stationary sled with mass M on a frozen lake. Assume that th

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Part a)

Velocity of sled

$v = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

velocity of first man who jump off

$v_1 = -\frac{(m_2 + M) s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

Part b)

Velocity of sled

$v_f = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + (\frac{m_2}{m_2 + M})s$

Also the speed of second person is given as

$v_2 = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) - \frac{Ms}{m_2 + M}$

Part c)

change in kinetic energy of sled + two people is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

Explanation:

As we know that here we we consider both people + sled as a system then there is no external force on it

So here we can use momentum conservation

since both people + sled is at rest initially so initial total momentum is zero

now when first people will jump with relative velocity "s" then let say the sled + other people will move off with speed v

so by momentum conservation we have

$0 = m_1(v - s) + (m_2 + M)v$

$v = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

so velocity of the sled + other person is

$v = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

velocity of first man who jump off

$v_1 = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M} - s$

$v_1 = -\frac{(m_2 + M) s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

Part b)

now when other man also jump off with same relative velocity

so let say the sled is now moving with speed vf

so by momentum conservation we have

$(m_2 + M)(\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) = m_2(v_f - s) + Mv_f$

$(m_2 + M)(\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + m_2s = (m_2 + M)v_f$

Now we have

$v_f = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + (\frac{m_2}{m_2 + M})s$

Also the speed of second person is given as

$v_2 = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + (\frac{m_2}{m_2 + M})s - s$

$v_2 = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) - \frac{Ms}{m_2 + M}$

Part c)

change in kinetic energy of sled + two people is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

here we know all values of speed as we found it in part a) and part b)

A closed system contains 30g of gas. How much heat(in joules) is added to or rejected by the system to produce 5000 N-m of work

finlep [7]

Answer : The heat rejected by the system is 1000 J

Explanation :

As per first law of thermodynamic,

$q=\Delta U+w$

where,

$\Delta U$ = internal energy of the system

q = heat added or rejected by the system

w = work done of the system

First we have to determine the internal energy for 30 grams of gas.

As, 1 gram of gas has internal energy = 200 J

So, 30 grams of gas has internal energy = 200 × 30 = 6000 J

Now we have to determine the heat of the system.

$q=\Delta U+w$

$\Delta$ = -6000 J

w = 5000 N.m = 5000 J

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=-6000J+5000J$

$q=-1000J$

The negative sign indicate that the heat rejected by the system.

Hence, the heat rejected by the system is 1000 J
