Answer: (A) The number of waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f. Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm.

Frequency: Is the number of waves that pass a certain point in a specified amount of time.

Trough: The low point of the wave cycle.

Wavelength: The distance between two successive peaks.

Electromagnetic wave: One of the waves that are propagated by simultaneous periodic variations of electric and magnetic field intensity.

An electric furnace is to melt 40 kg of aluminium/hour. The initial temperature of aluminium is 32°C. Given that aluminium has s

Answer:

Part a)

P = 13.93 kW

Part b)

R = 8357.6 Cents

Explanation:

Part A)

heat required to melt the aluminium is given by

$Q = ms\Delta T + mL$

here we have

$Q = 40(950)(680 - 32) + 40(450 \times 10^3)$

$Q = 24624 kJ + 18000 kJ$

$Q = 42624 kJ$

Since this is the amount of aluminium per hour

so power required to melt is given by

$P = \frac{Q}{t}$

$P = \frac{42624}{3600} kW$

$P = 11.84 kW$

Since the efficiency is 85% so actual power required will be

$P = \frac{11.84}{0.85} = 13.93 kW$

Part B)

Total energy consumed by the furnace for 30 hours

$Energy = power \times time$

$Energy = 13.93 kW\times 30 h$

$Energy = 417.9 kWh$

now the total cost of energy consumption is given as

$R = P \times 20 \frac{Cents}{kWh}$

$R = 417.9 kWh\times 20 \frac{cents}{kWh}$

$R = 8357.6 Cents$

Spaceship 1 and spaceship 2 have equal masses of 200 kg. Spaceship 1 has a speed of 0 m/s, and spaceship 2 has a speed of 10 m/s

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

2000 kg m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is a vector quantity whose magnitude is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

and its direction is the same as the velocity.

In this problem, we have:

- Spaceship 1 has

m = 200 kg (mass)

v = 0 m/s (zero velocity)

So its momentum is

$p_1 =(200)(0)=0$

- Spaceship 2 has

m = 200 kg (mass)

v = 10 m/s (velocity)

So its momentum is

$p_2=(200)(10)=2000 kg m/s$

Therefore, the combined momentum of the two spaceships is

$p=p_1+p_2=0+2000=2000 kg m/s$
