The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

<h3 /><h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by a body to the total time taken.

To calculate the speed of the sound in the xenon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • v = λf............. Equation 1

Where:

  • v = Speed of the sound in xenon
  • f = Frequency
  • λ = Wavelength.

From the question,

Given:

  • f = 440 Hz
  • λ = 40.4 cm = 0.404 m

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • v = 440(0.404)
  • v = 177.76 m/s.
  • v ≈ 178 m/s

Hence, The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount
igor_vitrenko [27]
In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.

Proper design of automobile braking systems must account for heat buildup under heavy braking. Part A Calculate the thermal ener
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1838216 J

Explanation:

95 km/h = 26.39 m/s

40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

Initial kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x(26.39)²

= 557145.67 J

Final kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x ( 11.11)²

= 98745.68 J

Loss of kinetic energy

= 458400 J

Loss of potential energy

= mg x loss of height

= 1600 x 9.8 x 340 sin 15

= 1379816 J

Sum of Loss of potential energy and Loss of kinetic energy

=  1379816 + 458400

= 1838216 J

This is the work done by the friction . So this is heat generated.

Doubly ionized lithium Li2+ (Z = 3) and triply ionized beryllium Be3+ (Z = 4) each emit a line spectrum. For a certain series of
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 22.78 nm

Explanation:

Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom has been used by other atoms with a single electric charge by changing the number of charges by the charge of the new atom (atomic number)

      E_{n}= k e² / 2a₀ (1 /n²)

      ao = h'² / k m e²               h' = h/2πi

For another atom with a single electron in the last layer

      a₀ ’= h’² / k m (Ze)²  

      a₀ ’= a₀ / Z²

Therefore, when replacing in the equation

      E_{n} = - Z²  Eo/n²

     E₀ = 13,606 eV

The transition occurs when the electron stops from one level to another

         E_{n} -  E_{m} = Z² E₀ (1 / n² - 1 / m²) = Z² ΔE

Let's relate this expression to the wavelength

       c = λ f

      E = h f

      E = h c /λ

      h c / λ = Z² ΔE

     λ = 1 / Z² (hc / ΔE)

     λ = 1 / Z² λ_hydrogen

Let's apply this last equation to our case

Lithium Z = 3

     E_{n} = - 9 Eo / n²

     

      40.5 10-9 = 1/9 λ_hydrogen

Beryllium Z = 4

      λ = 1/16 λ_hydrogen

Let's write our two equations is and solve

     40.5 10-9 = 1/9 λ_hydrogen

    tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 1/ 16 λ_hydrogen

      40.5 10⁻⁹ = 1/9 (16 \lambda_{Be} )

    tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 40.5 9/16

  tex]\lambda_{Be}[/tex] = 22.78 nm

If the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular
erastova [34]

Answer;

D. The car would begin to move in the direction it was headed in a straight line.

Explanation;

-Centripetal force is any net force causing uniform circular motion. The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration.

-The centripetal force causing the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the tires and the road. A minimum coefficient of friction is needed, or the car will move in a larger-radius curve and leave the roadway.

-Therefore,If the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular path were reduced then the car would begin to move in the direction it was headed in a straight line.
