Answer:

Water at high temperatures

Explanation:

When heated, molecules move faster which results in the sound waves being transmitted faster.

Also sound waves travel fastest in solids. Fast in liquids, and slowest in the air.

A sound wave has a speed of 345 m/s and a wavelength of 4.15 meters. What is the frequency of this wave?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

83 hertz

OPTION A

Explanation:

$wavelength = \frac{speed}{frequency}$

Given

wavelength=4.15m

speed=345 m/s

$frequency = \frac{speed}{wavelength} = \frac{345}{4.15}$

$frequency = 83 \: hertz$

I hope it helped you

Which of the following is quantitative data? a. Color c. Shape b. Odor d. Volume

Papessa [141]

Hello there! Quantitive data has to do with measurements that can be shown with numbers. Examples of this are things like your height and the length of your arms. With that alone, A and B are eliminated, because those answer choices make no sense. They can't be expressed by numbers and you can't measure colors or odors mathematically. Volume is a way to measure something that CAN be written down by numbers. D is the only answer choice that fits the definition of quantitive data. The answer is D: volume.

Air flows through an adiabatic turbine that is in steady operation. The air enters at 150 psia, 900oF, and 350 ft/s and leaves a

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

$1486.5\frac{Btu}{s}$

Explanation:

The inlet specific volume of air is given by:

$v_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}\\\\v_1=\frac{(0.3704\frac{psia.ft^3}{lbm.R})(1360R)}{150psia}\\\\v_1=3.358\frac{ft^3}{lbm} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \...i$

The mass flow rates is expressed as:

$\dot m=\frac{1}{v_1}A_1V_1\\\\\dot m=\frac{1}{3.358ft^3/psia}(0.1ft^2)(350ft/s)\\\\\dot m=10.42\frac{lbm}{s}$

The energy balance for the system can the be expresses in the rate form as:

$E_{in}-E_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot E=0\\\\E_{in}=E_{out}\\\\\dot m(h_1+0.5V_1^2)=\dot W_{out}+\dot m(h_2+0.5V_2^2)+Q_{out}\\\\\dot W_{out}=\dot m(h_2-h_1+0.5(V_2^2-V_1^2))=-m({cp(T_2-t_1)+0.5(V_2^2-V_1^2)})\\\\\\\dot W_{out}=-(10.42lbm/s)[(0.25\frac{Btu}{lbm.\textdegree F})(300-900)\textdegree F+0.5((700ft/s)^2-(350ft/s)^2)(\frac{1\frac{Btu}{lbm}}{25037ft^2/s^2})]\\\\\\\\=1486.5\frac{Btu}{s}$

Hence, the mass flow rate of the air is 1486.5Btu/s
