The Type K thermocouple has a sensitivity of about 41 micro-Volts/℃, i.e. for each degree difference in the junction temperature

, the output changes by 41 micro-Volts. If you have a 32-bit ADC, what is the smallest temperature change you can detect if the ADC range is 10 V?

Answer:

5.68*10^-5 °C

Explanation:

ADC is an acronym that means analog to digital conversion.

The numbers of bit in any ADC is the level of Voltage it possess.

The question states 32 bits, this means that it's total voltage levels is 2^32

Also, the question gives us a range of 10 V for the ADC. Now we can evaluate the resolution of the voltage as:

Δv = 10 / (2^32)

Δv = 10 / 4.29^9

Δv = 2.33*10^-9

The thermocouple sensitivity is 41 micro volts/°C

Thermocouple sensitivity = Δv/ΔT, where ΔT is the temperature change

ΔT = Δv/thermocouple sensitivity

ΔT = 2.33*10^-9 / 41*10^-6

ΔT = 5.68*10^-5 °C

Thus, the smallest temperature change is 5.68*10^-5 °C

A pair of glasses is dropped from the top of a 32.0m stadium. A pen is dropped 2.Os later. How high above the ground is the pen

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

$h_p = 30.46\ m$

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

A free-falling object refers to an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity. If the object is dropped from a certain height h, it moves downwards until it reaches ground level.

The speed vf of the object when a time t has passed is given by:

$v_f=g\cdot t$

Where $g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Similarly, the distance y the object has traveled is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{g\cdot t^2}{2}$

If we know the height h from which the object was dropped, we can solve the above equation for t:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot y}{g}}$

The stadium is h=32 m high. A pair of glasses is dropped from the top and reaches the ground at a time:

$\displaystyle t_1=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 32}{9.8}}=2.56\ sec$

The pen is dropped 2 seconds after the glasses. When the glasses hit the ground, the pen has been falling for:

$t_2=2.56 - 2 = 0.56\ sec$

Therefore, it has traveled down a distance:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{9.8\cdot 0.56^2}{2} = 1.54\ m$

Thus, the height of the pen is:

$h_p = 32 - 1.54\Rightarrow h_p=30.46\ m$

Jade and her roommate Jari commute to work each morning, traveling west on I-10. One morning Jade left for work at 6:45 A.M., bu

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Jari

Explanation:

The question requires to know who is traveling faster. This is done by comparing the gradients. The steeper the slope (high gradient), the faster the speed and vice versa.

From Jari's line, the starting point is (0, 0) and another point is (6, 7)

The gradient being change in y to change in x

Change in y=7-0=7

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 7/6

For Jade, first point is (0, 10) then another point is (6, 16)

Change in y=16-10=6

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 6/6=1

Clearly, 7/6 is greater than 6/6 or 1 hence Jari is faster than Jade

Two speakers, A and B, produce identical sound waves. A listener is 3.2 m away from speaker A. The listener finds the lowest fre

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

0.83 m or 5.57 m

Explanation:

Destructive interference will occur when the distances from the speakers differ by 1/2 wavelength.

The length of 1 cycle of 72.4 Hz is ...

λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(72.4 Hz) ≈ 4.738 m

So, the distance of the listener from speaker B is ...

3.2 m ± (4.738 m)/2 = {0.83 m, 5.57 m} . . . either of these distances

_____

The location could be at additional multiples of 4.738 m, but we think not. The sound intensity drops off with the square of the distance from the speaker, so identical sound waves from the speakers will sound quite different at different distances from the speakers. For best interference, the distances need to be as close to the same as possible. That will be at 3.2 m and 5.57 m.

_____

<em>Comment on the speed of sound</em>

We don't know what speed you are to use for the speed of sound. We have used 343 m/s. Some sources use 340 m/s, which will give a result different by 2 or 3 cm.

A.Whale communication. Blue whales apparently communicate with each other using sound of frequency 17.0 Hz, which can be heard n

Y_Kistochka [10]

A. 90.1 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

For the sound emitted by the whale, v = 1531 m/s and f = 17.0 Hz, so the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{1531 m/s}{17.0 Hz}=90.1 m$

B. 102 kHz

We can re-arrange the same equation used previously to solve for the frequency, f:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where for the dolphin:

v = 1531 m/s is the wave speed

$\lambda=1.50 cm=0.015 m$ is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation,

$f=\frac{1531 m/s}{0.015 m}=1.02 \cdot 10^5 Hz=102 kHz$

C. 13.6 m

Again, the wavelength is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v = 340 m/s is the speed of sound in air

f = 25.0 Hz is the frequency of the whistle

Substituting into the equation,

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{25.0 Hz}=13.6 m$

D. 4.4-8.7 m

Using again the same formula, and using again the speed of sound in air (v=340 m/s), we have:

- Wavelength corresponding to the minimum frequency (f=39.0 Hz):

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{39.0 Hz}=8.7 m$

- Wavelength corresponding to the maximum frequency (f=78.0 Hz):

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{78.0 Hz}=4.4 m$

So the range of wavelength is 4.4-8.7 m.

E. 6.2 MHz

In order to have a sharp image, the wavelength of the ultrasound must be 1/4 of the size of the tumor, so

$\lambda=\frac{1}{4}(1.00 mm)=0.25 mm=2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m$

And since the speed of the sound wave is

v = 1550 m/s

The frequency will be

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{1550 m/s}{2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=6.2\cdot 10^6 Hz=6.2 MHz$

A fighter jet is catapulted off an aircraft carrier from rest to 75 m/s. If the aircraft carrier deck is 100 m long, what is the

egoroff_w [7]

The acceleration of the jet is $28.1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Since the motion of the jet is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

For the jet in this problem, we have

u = 0

v = 75 m/s

s = 100 m

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{75^2-0}{2(100)}=28.1 m/s^2$
