The characteristics of the sound waves allow to find the result for the wavelength is:

         λ = 34.29 m

The sound wave is a longitudinal traveling wave, where the speed of the wave depends on the air temperature.

         v = v_o \sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} }  

where v₀ is the speed of sound for T = 0ºc v₀ = 331 m / s.

indicate that the temperature is T = 20ºC, let's find the speed of the traveling wave.

        v = 331 \sqrt{1 + \frac{20}{273} }  

        v = 342.9 m / s

The speed of sound is related to wavelength and frequency.

       v = λ f

        λ = \frac{v}{f}

Let's calculate

        \lambda = \frac{342.29}{10}  

        λ  = 34.29 m

In conclusion using the characteristics of sound waves we can find the result for the wavelength is:

          λ = 34.29 m

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the ___ (northern or southern) Hemisphere as they move into a low press
lana [24]

Answer:

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the center of northern and southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

The wind blows clockwise around a high pressure area  in the northern hemisphere and the wind blows counter - clockwise around low pressure.  

In the northern hemisphere High-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction and in the southern hemisphere  low-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction.

Kay [80]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For charging plates that are connected in a similar manner:

Calculating the total charge:

\to q =q_1 + q_2 = C_1V_1 +C_2V_2 =1320 + 2714 = 4034 \mu C

Calculating the common potential:

\to V = \frac{q}{C}= \frac{q}{(C_1 + C_2)} =\frac{4034}{6.8} = 593 \ V\\\\

Calculating the charge after redistribution:

When: \\\\q = q_{1}' + q_{2}' = q_1 + q_2        

\to q_{1}' = C_1V = 2.2 \times 593 = 1305\ \mu C\\  \\  \to               q_{2}' = C_2V = 4.6 \times 593 = 2729 \ \mu C

n200080 [17]

Answer:

c. Line - voltage thermostats and controls are not as sensitive as low - voltage thermostats.

Explanation:

Line voltage thermostat is a regulator which senses the temperature and maintains it to keep the desired level of the voltage. The license in required for the electricians to work on the voltage control wirings. There is technical aspects which an electrician must understand before working on the circuits and voltage lines.

Calculate the fraction of methyl isonitrile molecules that have an energy of 160.0 kJ or greater at 510 K .
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}

Explanation:

E_a = Activation energy = 160 kJ

T = Temperature = 510 K

R = Universal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

The fraction of energy is given by

f=e^{-\dfrac{E_a}{RT}}\\\Rightarrow f=e^{-\dfrac{160000}{8.314\times 510}}\\\Rightarrow f=4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}

The fraction of energy is 4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}
