Answer:

The equilibrium temperature is

21.97°c

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the heat capacity of materials

Given data

specific heat capacities

copper is Cc =390 J/kg⋅C∘,

aluminun Ca = 900 J/kg⋅C∘,

water Cw = 4186 J/kg⋅C∘.

Mass of substances

Copper Mc = 235g

Aluminum Ma = 135g

Water Mw = 825g

Temperatures

Copper θc = 255°c

Water and aluminum calorimeter θ1= 16°c

Equilibrium temperature θf =?

Applying the principle of conservation of heat energy, heat loss by copper equal heat gained by aluminum calorimeter and water

McCc(θc-θf) =(MaCa+MwCw)(θf-θ1)

Substituting our data into the expression we have

235*390(255-θf)=

(135*900+825*4186)(θf-16)

91650(255-θf)=(3574950)(θf-16)

23.37*10^6-91650*θf=3.57*10^6θf- +57.2*10^6

Collecting like terms and rearranging

23.37*10^6+57.2*10^6=3.57*10^6θf+91650θf

8.2*10^6=3.66*10^6θf

θf=80.5*10^6/3.6*10^6

θf =21.97°c

An ambulance moving at 42 m/s sounds its siren whose frequency is 450 hz. a car is moving in the same direction as the ambulance

Korvikt [17]

(a) Since the ambulance and the car are moving one relative to each other, we have to use the general formula of the Doppler effect, which gives us the shift of the frequency of the siren as heard by an observer in the car:
$f'=( \frac{v+v_o}{v+v_s} )f$
where
f' is the apparent frequency as heard by the observer in the car
v is the velocity of the wave
$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer (positive if it is moving towards the source, negative if it is moving away)
$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (positive if the source is moving away from the observer, negative if is is moving towards it)
f is the real frequency of the sound

In the first part of the problem:
$v=343 m/s$ (speed of the sound wave)
$v_o =-25 m/s$ (the car is moving away from the ambulance)
$v_s = -42 m/s$ (the ambulance is moving towards the car)
$f=450 Hz$ (original frequency of the sound)

If we plug the numbers into the formula, we find
$f'=( \frac{343 m/s-25 m/s}{343 m/s-42 m/s} )(450 Hz)=475 Hz$

b) This time, the ambulance passes the car, so the ambulance is now moving away from the car; this means that $v_s$ must be positive:
$v_s=+42 m/s$
Moreover, the car is now moving towards the ambulance, so we should reverse also the sign of $v_o$ :
$v_o=+25 m/s$
All the other data do not change, so if we use the same formula as before, we find
$f'=( \frac{343 m/s+25 m/s}{343 m/s+42 m/s} )(450 Hz)=430 Hz$

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?

Sergeu [11.5K]

<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.
