What's the difference between mechanical waves and vibrations

1 answer:

7 0

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

A gas undergoes a process in a piston–cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv1.3 = constant.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Change in specific internal Energy $=250\ \rm Btu/lb$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the gas, m=0.4 lb
Initial pressure and volume are $p_1=160\ \rm lbf/in^2\ and\ v_1=1\ \rm ft^3\\$

Final pressure and temperature are $p_1=480\ \rm lbf/in^2$
Heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu

Since the process is isotropic we have

$p_1v_1^{1.3}=p_2v_2^{1.3}\\160\times 1^{1.3}=480\times v_2^{1.3}\\v_2=0.43\ \rm ft^3\\$

So the final volume of the gas is calculated.

Work in any isotropic is given by w

$w=\dfrac{p_1v_1-P_2v_2}{n-1}\\\\w=\dfrac{160\times1-480\times0.43}{1.3-1}\\w=-154.67\ \rm Btu\\$

According to the first law of thermodynamics we have

$Q=\Delta U+w\\-2.1=\Delta U-154.67\\\Delta U=152.56\ \rm Btu\\$

So the Specific Internal Change is given by

$\Delta u=\dfrac{\Delta U}{m}\\\Delta u=\dfrac{152.56}{0.4}\\\Delta u=250\ \rm Btu/lb$

So the specific Change in Internal energy is calculated.

(1) find the density of a substance if the mass of the substance is 150kg and dimension 20mby10mby5m

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

0.15kg/m³

Explanation:

Density = mass/ volume

Given that

Mass = 150kg

Note that volume = length x breadth x height

Volume = 20 x 10 x 5

Volume = 1000m³

Density = mass ➗ volume

Density = 150kg ➗ 1000m³

Density = 0.15kg/m³

When you push a 1.90-kg book resting on a tabletop, you have to exert a force of 2.10 N to start the book sliding. Once it is sl

zimovet [89]

Static frictional force = ƒs = (Cs) • (Fɴ)
2.26 = (Cs) • m • g
2.26 = (Cs) • (1.85) • (9.8)
Cs = 0.125
kinetic frictional force = ƒκ = (Cκ) • (Fɴ)
1.49 = (Cκ) • m • g
1.49 = (Cκ) • (1.85) • (9.8)
Cκ = 0.0822

A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel con- tainer holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 200-g cube o

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

Explanation:

Given;

mass of steel container = 120-g

mass of water = 150 g

initial temperature of water, = 25°C

mass of copper cube, $M_{cu}$ = 200 g

initial temperature of the copper cube, $T_c_u$ = 85°C

initial temperature of the aluminum chunk $T_A_l$ = 5.0°C

Neglecting heat loss, heat exchanged by the two metallic objects is the same since initial temperature is equal to final temperature of water.

$M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}$

where;

$C_{AL}$ is specific heat capacity of aluminum

$\delta T_{Al}$ is change in temperature of aluminum

$C_c_u$ is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\delta T_c_u$ is the change in temperature of copper

$M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}}{C_{Al} \delta T_{Al}} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{0.2*387*60}{900*20} = 0.258 \ kg$

Therefore, the mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g
