In a longitudinal wave, amplitude can be measured

Physics
1 answer:
nignag [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Compressions

Explanation:

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the direction of propagation of the wave and the direction of the displacement of the particles of the wave are parallel.

As the wave propagates, the particles do not move, but, oscillate back and forth about their equilibrium position, and there are thus regions of high pressure called compressions and regions of low pressure called rarefactions.

The amplitude is thus the distance between successive compressions.

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>

1. How are each of Newton’s Laws of motion demonstrated
stepan [7]

Answer:

Newton's law of inertia - His first law states that every object remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. ... This is the first part cited in Newton's first law; "there is no net force on the airplane and it travels at a constant velocity in a straight line."

Newton's law of acceleration -  "a net external force changes the velocity of the object. The drag of the aircraft depends on the square of the velocity. So the drag increases with increased velocity."

Newton's law of Action/Reaction - "As a plane flies, the force of the air hitting the plane is always equal and opposite to the force of the plane pushing against the air. The force generated by the engine pushes against air while the air pushes back with an equal and opposite force."

Hope this helps! god bless :)
