Describe an example where materials are prepared as fluids so that they can be moved easily

den301095 [7]

Answer:

In general solids are easier to transport than liquids, but the above metal example is a valid one and the only other one that comes to mind is that of concrete. It is mixed as a liquid and transported as such, but then sprayed or laid down to dry and form a solid surface or filler.

A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, $y_{m} = 8.4\ cm$

Wavelength, $\lambda = 5.3\ cm$

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

$v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega$

where

$\omega = 2\pi f$ = angular speed of the particle

Thus

$v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}$

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

$v = f\lambda$

Now,

The ratio is given by:

$\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}$

$\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95$

A beam of monochromatic light with a wavelength of 400 nm in air travels into water. what is the wavelength of the light in wate

slava [35]

The refractive index of water is $n=1.33$ . This means that the speed of the light in the water is:
$v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.33 }=2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s$

The relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ of a wave is given by:
$\lambda= \frac{v}{f}$
where v is the speed of the wave in the medium. The frequency of the light does not change when it moves from one medium to the other one, so we can compute the ratio between the wavelength of the light in water $\lambda_w$ to that in air $\lambda$ as
$\frac{\lambda_w}{\lambda}= \frac{ \frac{v}{f} }{ \frac{c}{f} } = \frac{v}{c}$
where v is the speed of light in water and c is the speed of light in air. Re-arranging this formula and by using $\lambda=400 nm$ , we find
$\lambda_w = \lambda \frac{v}{c}=(400 nm) \frac{2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=301 nm$
which is the wavelength of light in water.

During convection, heat warms up a fluid, making the fluid less dense so it begins to RISE. As the warm fluid moves, it begins t

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Convection is a form of heat transfer that is predominantly common in fluids especially liquid and gas.

It occurs by the movement of a part of substance from one place to another based on density and temperature differences.

A typical convection cell is made up of a liquid that is heated. The liquid part close to the heat source becomes warmer and rises due to its low density. The part away from the heat source is more dense and begins to sink.

This analogy is commonly demonstrated in a boiling pot of water.

Masteriza [31]

Answer: D. It is a SUSPENSION

Explanation:

SUSPENSION

This is a combination of two or more single substances. The properties of the components involved are not however changed or lost as is the case with compounds.

For this reason this mixture can be separated due to sedimentation or filtering.

After a few days, this occurs in the aqueous nickel sulfide because the solid nickel sulfide is separating from the water.
