Answer:

Car radiators: Water is used as coolant car radiators. Due to its high specific heat capacity, it can absorb a large amount of heat energy from the engine of the car, but its temperature does not rise too high.

Answer:

Water has a high specific heat, meaning it takes more energy to increase the temperature of water compared to other substances. This is why water is valuable to industries and in your car's radiator as a coolant.

A wave emitted from a source has a frequency of 10 Hz and wavelength 2.5 m. How much time will it take to reach a person located

const2013 [10]

Answer:

time taken by the wave to reach the person is 0.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

$v = \lambda f$

here we know that the wavelength of the wave is

$\lambda = 2.5 m$

$f = 10 Hz$

now speed of the wave is given as

$v = 10(2.5)$

$v = 25 m/s$

Now time taken by the wave to reach 5 m distance is

$t = \frac{L}{v}$

$t = \frac{5}{25}$

$t = 0.2 s$

If an electric current of 8.50 A flows for 3.75 hours through an electrolytic cell containing copper-sulfate (CuSO4) solution, t

muminat

Answer:

75.5g

Explanation:

From the ionic equation, we can write

$CU^{2+}+SO^{2-}_{4}\\$

next we find the number of charge

Note Q=it

for i=8.5A, t=3.75 to secs 3.75*60*60=13500secs

hence

$Q=8.5*13500\\Q=114750C$

Since one faraday represent one mole of electron which equal 96500C

Hence the number of mole produced by 114750C is

114750/96500=1.2mol

The mass of copper produced is

$mol=\frac{mass}{molar mass} \\mass=mole*molar mass\\mass=1.2*63.5\\mass=75.5g$

Hence the amount of copper produced is 75.5g

What is the value of x in the equation below 1+2e^x+1=9

GuDViN [60]

<h2>Answer: 1.252</h2>

Explanation:

We are given this equation and we need to find the value of $x$ :

$1+2e^x+1=9$ (1)

Firstly, we have to clear $x$ :

$2e^x=9-1-1$

$2e^x=7$

$e^x=\frac{7}{2}$ (2)

Applying<u> Natural Logarithm</u> on both sides of the equation (2):

$ln(e^x)=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (3)

$xln(e)=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (4)

According to the Natural Logarithm rules $xln(e)=x$ , so (4) can be written as:

$x=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (5)

Finally:

$x=1.252$

A baton twirler is twirling her aluminum baton in a horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second. A baton held hor

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that;

horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second

the magnetic field of the Earth is 0.500 gauss

the baton is 60.1 cm in length.

the magnetic field is oriented at 14.42°

we wil get the area due to rotation of radius of baton is

$\Delta A = \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2$

The formula for the induced emf is

$E = \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\phi = \texttt {magnetic flux}$

$E=\frac{\Delta (BA) }{\Delta t}$

$=B\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}$

B is the magnetic field strength

substitute

$\texttt {substitute}\ \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2 \ \ for \Delta A$

$E=B\frac{(\Delta \theta R^3/2)}{\Delta t} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} BR^2\omega$

The magnetic field of the earth is oriented at 14.42

$\omega =2.33\\\\L=60.1c,\\\\\theta=14.42\\\\B=0.5$

we plug in the values in the equation above

so, the induce EMF will be

$E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)R^2\omega\\\\E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)(\frac{L}{2} )\omega$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times0.5gauss\times\frac{0.0001T}{1gauss} \times\sin 14.42\times(\frac{60.1\times10^-^2m}{2} )^2(2.33rev/s)(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} )\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.2490\times0.0903\times14.63982\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.32917\\\\=8.229\times10^-^6V$
