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

A 7.5-cmcm-diameter horizontal pipe gradually narrows to 4.5 cmcm . When water flows through this pipe at a certain rate, the ga
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer

given,

diameter,d₁ = 7.5 cm

               d₂ = 4.5 cm

P₁ = 32 kPa

P₂ = 25 kPa

Assuming, we have calculation of flow in the pipe

using continuity equation

 A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

 π r₁² v₁ = π r₂² v₂

 v_1= \dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2} v_2

 v_1= \dfrac{2.25^2}{3.75^2} v_2

 v_1= 0.36 v_2

Applying Bernoulli's equation

 \Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)

 P_1-P_2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-(0.36 v_2)^2)

 32-25 = \dfrac{1}{2}1000\times v_2^2 (1 - 0.1269)

 v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 7\times 10^3}{1000\times (0.8704)}}

 v_2=\sqrt{16.084}

       v₂ = 4.01 m/s

fluid flow rate

Q = A₂ V₂

Q = π (0.0225)²  x 4.01

Q = 6.38 x 10⁻³ m³/s

flow in the pipe is equal to 6.38 x 10⁻³ m³/s

A boulder of mass 2000. kg breaks loose of a mountainside and plunges 200. m straight down into a lake at a temperature of 5.00◦
natka813 [3]

Answer:

DS = 13865.7[J/K]

Explanation:

We can calculate the energy of the rock, like the potential energy relative to the lake level. Which can be calculated by means of the following expression of the potential energy:

E_{p}=m*g*h\\\\where:\\m = mass = 2000[kg]\\h = elevation = 200 [m]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

Therefore:

E_{p}=2000*9.81*200\\E_{p}=3924000 [J]\\

This energy is transformed into thermal energy.

we shall remember that isothermal heat transfer processes are internally reversible, so the entropy change of a system during one of these processes can be determined, by the following expression.

DS=\frac{Q}{T}\\ where:\\DS = entropy change [J/K]\\Q = Heat transfer [J]\\T = temperature [K]

T = 5 + 278 = 283[K]

DS = 3924000 / 283

DS = 13865.7[J/K]

– A man walks 50 meters due west, then 50 meters 60 north of west. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant disp
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

86.6, 45°

Explanation:

The diagram explains better.

Using vector component method:

We find the x and y components of the vectors :

For the first:

A = -50cos(0)i + 50sin(0)j

A = -50i

For the second:

B = -50cos(60)i + 50sin(60)j

B = -25i + 43.3j

The resultant vector is :

R = A + B

R = -50i - 25i + 43.3j

R = -75i + 43.3j

The magnitude is:

R = [(-75)² + (43.3)²]^½

R = 86.6m

The angle is

tanθ = (50/50) = 1

θ = 45°
