A 512Hz tuning fork is used with a resonating column to determine the velocity of sound in water. If the spacing between resonan

ces is 1.46m, what is the velocity of sound in water?

Answer:

v= 1495.04 m/s

Explanation:

The formula for velocity of sound is given by ;

v= fλ   --------where

v= velocity of sound

f= frequency of turning fork

λ = wavelength

However,

Δ L = 1/2 λ   ------where Δ L is spacing between resonances.

1.46 = 1/2 λ

1.46 * 2 = λ

2.92 m = λ

v= fλ

v= 512 * 2.92

v= 1495.04 m/s

Using a skillet on the stove to cook scrambled eggs is an example of which heat transfer?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: conduction.


Explanation:


1) A skillet or pan will be in direct contact with the food.


2) Being the skillet a solid matter, it transfers heat by conduction.


3) There are three heat transfer mechanisms: convection, conduction, radiation.


i) Convection: only happens in fluids: liquids and gases.


It is a slow mechanism and is due to the motion of the particles of fluid.


This is not the case, since the skillet is solid and the eggs are in direct contact with it. If the eggs were separated from the skillet convection might happen but it would be very slow and the eggs would take so long time to be cooked.


ii) Conduction: happens by direct contact among neighboring particles, due to their vibrations. The vibrations are only transmitted to neighboring particles, which is only possibble when they are in direct contact, so it is the classical mechanism in solids. So, the heat transfer using the skillet to cook scrambles eggs is an example of conduction.


iii) Radiation: is the transfer of heat by infrared waves. It is an important mechanism when the substances are separated by vaccum or gases and the difference of temperature is high. Yet, this is not the importante mechanism here. You feel heat radiation when you put your hand close to the skillet.

A charge of 7.00 mC is placed at opposite corners corner of a square 0.100 m on a side and a charge of -7.00 mC is placed at oth
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

4.03\times10^{7}N[/tex], 135°

Explanation:

charge, q = 7 mC = 0.007 C

charge, - q = - 7 mC = - 0.007 C

d = 0.1 m

Let the force on charge placed at C due to charge placed at D is FD.

F_{D}=\frac{kq^{2}}{DC^{2}}

F_{D}=\frac{9 \times10^{9}\times 0.007 \times 0.007}{0.1^{2}}=4.41 \times 10^{7}N

The direction of FD is along C to D.

Let the force on charge placed at C due to charge placed at B is FB.

F_{B}=\frac{kq^{2}}{BC^{2}}

F_{B}=\frac{9 \times10^{9}\times 0.007 \times 0.007}{0.1^{2}}=4.41 \times 10^{7}N

The direction of FB is along C to B.

Let the force on charge placed at C due to charge placed at A is FA.

F_{A}=\frac{kq^{2}}{AC^{2}}

F_{D}=\frac{9 \times10^{9}\times 0.007 \times 0.007}{0.1 \times\sqrt{2} \times 0.1 \times\sqrt{2}}=2.205 \times 10^{7}N

The direction of FA is along A to C.

The net force along +X axis

F_{x}=F_{A}Cos45-F_{D}

F_{x}=2.205\times10^{7}Cos45-4.41\times10^{7}=-2.85\times10^{7}N

The net force along +Y axis

F_{y}=F_{B}-F_{A}Sin45

F_{y}=4.41\times10^{7}-2.205\times10^{7}Sin45=2.85\times10^{7}N

The resultant force is given by

F=\sqrt{F_{x}^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(-2.85\times10^{7})^{2}+(2.85\times10^{7})^{2}}

F = 4.03\times10^{7}N

The angle from x axis is Ф

tan Ф = - 1

Ф = -45°

Angle from + X axis is 180° - 45° = 135°
