Answer:

v = 60 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

A wave is represented by the equation :

y=0.2\sin [0.4\pi (x-60)t]

We need to find the velocity of the wave

The general equation of a wave is given by :

y=A\sin (kx-\omega t) ....(1)

Equation (1) can be written as :

y=0.2\sin (0.4\pi x-24\pi t) ...(2)

If we compare equation (1) and (2) we get :

k=0.4\pi

\omega=24\pi

The velocity of a wave is given by :

v=\dfrac{\omega}{k}\\\\v=\dfrac{24\pi}{0.4\pi}\\\\v=60\ m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 60 m/s.

The environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment.<br><br><br>TRUE OR FALSE
Drupady [299]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The statement that the environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment is incorrect. It should be noted that people also affect the environment.

Some of our impact on the environment include pollution, deforestation, overpopulation, burning of fossil fuels etc. Thus has resulted in changes such as erosion, climate change, etc.

Evaporation of sweat requires energy and thus take excess heat away from the body. Some of the water that you drink may eventual
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The amount of heat required is H_t =  1.37 *10^{6} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of water is m_w  =  20 \ ounce = 20 * 28.3495 = 5.7 *10^2 g

The temperature of the water before drinking is T_w  =  3.8 ^oC

The temperature of the body is T_b  =  36.6^oC

Generally the amount of heat required to move the water from its former temperature to the body temperature is

H=  m_w  *  c_w * \Delta T

Here c_w is the specific heat of water with value c_w = 4.18 J/g^oC

So

H=   5.7 *10^2 * 4.18 * (36.6 - 3.8)

=> H= 7.8 *10^{4} \  J

Generally the no of mole of sweat present mass of water is

n = \frac{m_w}{Z_s}

Here Z_w is the molar mass of sweat with value

Z_w =  18.015 g/mol

=> n = \frac{5.7 *10^2}{18.015}

=> n = 31.6 \  moles

Generally the heat required to vaporize the number of moles of the sweat is mathematically represented as

H_v  =  n  *  L_v

Here L_v is the latent heat of vaporization with value L_v  = 7 *10^{3} J/mol

=> H_v  =  31.6 * 7 *10^{3}

=> H_v  = 1.29 *10^{6} \  J

Generally the overall amount of heat energy required is

H_t =  H +  H_v

=> H_t =  7.8 *10^{4} +  1.29 *10^{6}

=> H_t =  1.37 *10^{6} \ J

If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each
g100num [7]

Answer:

1.

Firstly removing off one strip and it leaves electrons behind, so the strip becomes positively charged.

2. The roll however is not negatively charged because it is "earthed " by the hand holding it, thus excess negatives repel each other away through the hand.

3.Tearing off the next strip and once more it leaves electrons behind, the new strip is also positively charged and will repel the first strip.

4. Then, tear two strips apart and one will leave electrons behind on the other. Meaning that one strip is positive and the other is negative and they will attract each other.

a cannonball with a mass of 1.0 kilogram is fired horizontally from a 500.- kilogram cannon, initially at rest, on a horizontal,
nirvana33 [79]

(a) According to Newton’s third law, for every action there is an equal yet opposite reaction. In this case, the cannonball is affected by 8.0x10^3 newtons in one direction. Now the cannon must also be affected by the same amount of net force on the opposite direction.

- 8.0x10^3 Newtons (the negative symbol only shows that it is opposite direction)

 

(b) We solve this using the formula:

F = m a

8.0x10^3 N = (1.0 kg) a

a = 8,000 m/s^2

A student measures the pH of a solution to be 6.8. Which should the student add if she wants to decrease the pH of the solution?
zloy xaker [14]
The neutral pH is 7. Less than 7 indicates an acid and more than 7 indicates a base (up to 14).
<span> NaCl - it's a salt (we can't measure the pH)
H2O - it can be an acid but also a base  (the pH it is almost neutral,meaning close to 7 )
HF - it is a strong acid
</span><span> KOH  - it is a strong base (pH=14)
</span>
                        ↓

He needs to use HF (Hydrogen fluoride) to decrease the pH.
