A student stands a distance L from a wall and claps her hands. Immediately on hearing the reflection from the wall she claps her

hands again. She continues to do this, so that successive claps and the sound of reflected claps coincide. The frequency at which she claps her hands is f. What is the speed of sound in air?

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance of the student from the wall is L

After hearing the reflection she claps her hand again

A complete cycle is the distance to the wall and back to the boy, so the total distance travel then is 2L, then the wave length is 2L

λ=2L

So the frequent is f

Then using wave equation

v=f λ

Since our λ=2L

Then, v=f×2L

v=2fL

The speed of sound in air is 2fL

What mass of water must evaporate from the skin of a 70.0 kg man to cool his body 1.00 ∘C? The heat of vaporization of water at
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

m = 0.111 kg

Explanation:

Heat required to release from the body of the person when his temperature cool down by 1 degree C is given as

Q = m s\Delta T

here we know that

m = 70 kg

s = 3840 J/kg K

\Delta T = 1.00^o C

now we know that

Q = (70 kg)(3840 J/kg ^oC)(1 ^o C)

Q = 268800 J

now the same heat is used to vaporize water of the body

so it is given as

Q = mL

268800 = m(2.42 \times 10^6)

m = 0.111 kg

A proton (1.6726 ? 10-27 kg) and a neutron (1.6749 ? 10-27 kg) at rest combine to form a deuteron, the nucleus of deuterium or "
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the deuteron = mass of the proton + mass of the neutron + mass equivalent of the energy of 2.2 Mev evolved.

I amu = 931 Mev

2.2 Mev = 2.2 / 931 amu

= ( 2.2 / 931 )x 1.6726 x 10⁻²⁷

= .00395 x 10⁻²⁷

The mass of the deuteron  =( 1.6726 + 1.6749 +  .00395)x 10⁻²⁷ kg

= 3.35145 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

b ) Momentum of gamma ray

= h / λ ( h is plank's constant and λ is wavelength of gamma ray )

= hυ / υλ       (  υ is frequency of gamma ray )

= E / c  ( E is energy of photon and c is velocity o light )

= 2.2 x 10⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹  J / 3 x 10⁸

= 1.173 x 10⁻²¹ Kg m /s

This will be the momentum of deuteron also

Kinetic energy

= p² / 2m ( p is momentum and m is mass of deuteron )

= ( 1.173 x 10⁻²¹ )² / ( 2 x 3.35145 x 10⁻²⁷)

= 1.376 x ⁻¹⁵ J

Energy of gamma ray

= 2.2 x 10⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹  J

= 3.52 x 10⁻¹³ J

So kinetic energy of deuteron is smaller than energy of gamma ray photon .

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant on Earth. M_1, M_2 are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2

Since M_2 = 2m_2 and r = R/3

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5

IgorLugansk [536]

If the mass of the cylinder increases, the temperature of the water increases, because a greater mass means the cylinder has more potential energy that can be converted to thermal energy, increasing the temperature of the water.
