Answer:

When two waves meet in such a way that their crests line up together, then it's called constructive interference. The resulting wave has a higher amplitude. In destructive interference, the crest of one wave meets the trough of another, and the result is a lower total amplitude.

A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the tank to be changed. The tank originally contains air

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

0.435atm

Explanation:

cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the tank to be changed. The tank originally contains air with a volume of 0.185 m3 at a pressure of 0.740 atm. The piston is slowly pulled out until the volume of the gas is increased to 0.315 m3. If the temperature remains constant, what is the final value of the pressure?

Given

Initial pressure P1= 0.740atm

Initial volume V1= 0.185 m3

Final pressure P2= ?

Final volume V2= 0.315 m3

At constant temperature, the pressure of a syste is inversely proportional to volume, by Boyles law then

P1V1=P2V2

P2=P1V1/V2

=(0.185*0.740)/0.315

0.1369/0.315

= 0.435atm

Therefore, final pressure is 0.435atm

Jeff's body contains about 5.46 L of blood that has a density of 1060 kg/m3. Approximately 45.0% (by mass) of the blood is cells

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The mass of blood is $m= 5.7876kg$

The number of blood cells is $N_t=1.04*10^{13}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The volume of blood is $V_b = 5.46 \ L = \frac{5.46}{1000} = 0.00546m^3$

The density of the blood is $\rho_b = 1060 kg/m^3$

% of blood that is cell is = 45.0%

% of the blood that is plasma is = 55.0%

density of blood cell is $\rho_d = 1125kg/m^3$

% of cell that are white is = 1%

% of cell that is red is = 99%

The diameter of the red blood cell is = $7.5 \mu m = 7.5*10^{-6}m$

The radius of the red blood cell is $= \frac{7.5*10^{-6}}{2} = 3.75*10^{-6}m$

Generally the mass is mathematically represented as

$m = \rho_b * V_b$

Substituting value

$m = 1060 * 0.00546$

$m= 5.7876kg$

Mass of cell is $m_c$ = 45% of m

= 0.45 * 5,7876

= 2.60442 kg

The volume of cells is $V_c$ = $\frac{m_c}{\rho_d}$

$= \frac{2.60442}{1125}$

$= 2.315 *10^{-3} m^3$

The volume of white blood cell is $V_w$ = 1% of volume of cells

$= \frac{1}{100} * 2.315*10^{-3}$

$= 2.315*10^{-5}m^3$

The volume of a single cell is $V_s = 4 \pi r^3$

$= 4*(3.142) * (3.75*10^{-6})^3$

$= 2.21*10^{-16}m^3$

The volume of red blood cells is $V_r = V_c - V_w$

$=2.315*10^{-3} - 2.315*10^{-5}$

$= 2.29*10^{-3}m^3$

The number of red blood cell is $= \frac{V_r}{V_s}$

$= \frac{2.29 *10^{-3}}{2.21*10^{-16}}$

$= 1.037*10^{13}$

The Number of white blood cell is $=\frac{V_w}{V_s}$

$= \frac{2.315 * 10^{-5}}{2.21*10^{-16}}$

$= 1.04*10^{11}$

The total number of blood cells is $N_t= 1.037*10^{13} + 1.04*10^{11}$

$N_t=1.04*10^{13}$

If two balls have the same volume,

Lena [83]

Here, we are required to find the relationship between balls of different mass(a measure of weight) and different volumes.

1. Ball A will have the greater density
2. Ball C and Ball D have the same density.
3. Ball Q will have the greater density.
4. Ball X and Y will have the same density

The density of an object is given as its mass per unit volume of the object.

Mathematically;.

Density = Mass/Volume.

For Case 1:

Va = Vb and Ma = 2Mb
D(b) = (Mb)/(Vb) and D(a) = 2(Mb)/Vb
Therefore, the density of ball A,
D(a) = 2D(b).
Therefore, ball A has the greater density.

For Case 2:

Vc = 3Vd,

Vd = (1/3)Vc

Md = (1/3)Mc

D(c) = (Mc)/(Vc) and D(d) = (1/3)Md/(1/3)Vd

D(c) = D(d).

Therefore, ball C and D have the same density

For Case 3:

Vp = 2Vq and Mp = Mq
D(p) = (Mq)/2(Vq) and D(q) = (Mq)/Vq
Therefore, the density of ball P is half the density of ball Q
Therefore, ball Q has the greater density.

For case 4:

Mx = (1/2)My
Vx = Vy

Therefore, Ball X and Ball Y have the same density.

What is the only function of the pulleys in the diagram?

tia_tia [17]

The only function of the pulleys in the diagram is to change the direction

of the force applied to raise the bricks.

<h3>What is a Pulley?</h3>

A pulley is a wheel which has a flexible rope on its rim and helps to

transmit energy and motion.

In the diagram given, we can see that the pulley is used to raise a mass of

block by three people. They pull the rope horizontally in order to raise the

block vertically. This means that it was used to change the direction of the

applied force.
