Answer:

To understand all the different kind of elements and how they work. Nature is a beautiful thing and it is important we understand how they survive and how we can help. The solar system is a mandatory nature. Learning about other planets also helps us feel safe and more knowledgable.

A sinusoidal wave traveling on a string has a period of 0.20 s, a wavelength of 32 cm, and an amplitude of 3 cm. The speed of th

Finger [1]

Answer:

$v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}$

Explanation:

If we have a periodic wave we need to satisfy the following basic relationship:

$v = \lambda f$

From the last formula we see that the velocity is proportional fo the frequency.

For this case we have the following info given by the problem:

$T= 0.2 s, \lambda =32 cm* \frac{1m}{100cm} =0.32 m, A= 3cm*\frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.03 m$

We know that the frequency is the reciprocal of the period so we have this formula:

$f = \frac{1}{T}$

And if we replace we got:

$f =\frac{1}{0.2 s}= 5Hz$

Now since we have the value for the wavelength we can find the velocity like this:

$v = 0.32 m * 5Hz = 1.6 \frac{m}{s}$

And if we convert this into cm/s we got:

$v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}$

Heat is transferred at a rate of 2 kW from a hot reservoir at 800 K to a cold reservoir at 300 K. Calculate the rate at which th

vekshin1

Answer:

0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Second law is satisfied.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Rate of heat transfer, Q = 2kW

Temperature of hot reservoir, Th = 800K

Temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 300K

The rate of entropy change is given as:

ΔS = Q * [(1/Tc) - (1/Th)]

ΔS = 2 * (1/300 - 1/800)

ΔS = 2 * 0.002085

ΔS = 0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Since ΔS is greater than 0, te the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied.

The electric field between two parallel plates is uniform, with magnitude 628 N/C. A proton is held stationary at the positive p

aliina [53]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Electric Field between two parallel plates = 628 N/C

Separation = 4.22 cm

a) In this part, we are asked to calculate the distance from positive plate at which the electron and proton pass each other.

Solution:

First of all:

Force on proton due to the Electric field between the plates is:

$F_{p}$ = $q_{p}$ E

and, we know that, F = ma

So,

$m_{p}$ a = $q_{p}$ E

a = $\frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }$ Equation 1

So,

The distance covered by the electron is:

S = ut + 1/2 $at^{2}$

Here, u = 0.

S = 1/2 $at^{2}$

Put equation 1 into the above equation:

S = 1/2 x ( $\frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }$ ) $t^{2}$ Equation 2

So,

Similarly, the distance covered by electron will be:

(D-S) = 1/2 x ( $\frac{q_{e}.E }{m_{e} }$ ) $t^{2}$ Equation 3

We know that the charge of electron is equal to the charge of proton so,

$q_{p}$ = $q_{e}$ = q

By dividing the equation 2 by equation 3, we get:

$\frac{S}{D-S}$ = $\frac{m_{e} }{m_{p} }$

Solve the above equation for S,

S $m_{p}$ = $m_{e}$ D - $m_{e}$ S

So,

S = $\frac{m_{e}.D }{(m_{e} + m_{p}) }$

Plugging in the values,

As we know the mass of electron is 9.1 x $10^{-31}$ and the mass of proton is 1.67 x $10^{-27}$

S = $\frac{9.1 . 10^{-31} . 4.22 }{(9.1 . 10^{-31} + 1.67 . 10^{-27} }$

S = 0.002298 cm (Distance from the positive plate at which the two pass each other)

b) In this part, we to calculate distance for Sodium ion and chloride ion as above.

So,

we already have the equation, we need to put the values in it.

So,

S = $\frac{m_{Cl}.D }{(m_{Cl} + m_{Na}) }$

As we know the mass of chlorine is 35.5 and of sodium is 23

S = $\frac{35.5 . 4.22}{(35.5 + 23)}$

S = 2.56 cm

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

73.72

Explanation:

For this subtraction problem, the answer or solution is expressed to the least precise of the numbers we are trying to subtract.

The least precise number is the number with the lowest significant numbers:

105.4 - 31.681

105.4 has 4 significant numbers

31.681 has 5 significant numbers

So;

105.4

- 31.681

------------------

73.719

----------------

The solution is therefore 73.72

Answer: through digested food

Explanation: cells get their sugar molecules from the food that is taken in by an organism. The food taken in is digested by the stomach into base materials like sugar, fatty acids and amino acids. These base materials are circulated through the blood till they get to the cells where they are needed.
