Answer:

Explanation:

Water waves are generally a transverse wave which do not cause permanent displacement of molecules of the medium. Transverse waves are waves in which the direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium.

As the wave propagates from one point to another on the surface of water transferring energy, a molecule of water on its surface vibrates upwards and downwards. Its motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. After the vibration, it comes back to its initial position.

g A projectile is launched with speed v0 from point A. Determine the launch angle ! which results in the maximum range R up the
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The range is maximum when the angle of projection is 45 degree.

Explanation:

The formula for the horizontal range of the projectile is given by

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

The range should be maximum if the value of Sin2θ is maximum.

The maximum value of Sin2θ is 1.

It means 2θ = 90

θ = 45

Thus, the range is maximum when the angle of projection is 45 degree.

If the angle of projection is 0 degree

R = 0

It means the horizontal distance covered by the projectile is zero, it can move in vertical direction.

If the angle of projection is 30 degree.

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin60 }{9.8}

R = 0.088u^2

If the angle of projection is 45 degree.

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin90 }{g}

R = u^2 / g

Heat engines were first envisioned and built during the industrial revolution. Explain the thermodynamics of a heat engine comme
Artyom0805 [142]

Heat engines were developed during industrial revolution.

Generally a heat engine contains three parts i.e source, sink and working substance.

The source of a heat engine is present at a higher temperature as compared to the sink. Due to the temperature difference, the heat will flow from source to sink through working substance.

Let us consider  T_{1}\ and\ T_{2} are the temperature of source and sink.

As the source is at higher temperature as compared to sink, heat will flow from source to sink.

Let\ Q_{1}\ and\ Q_{2} are the heat provided by source and heat rejected to sink.

Hence, the work done by the working substance will be -

                                                W\ =\ Q_{1}-Q_{2}

The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of output to the input energy.

Here output = workdone [W]

Hence, the efficiency of a heat engine is calculated as -

                     Efficiency\ [\eta]=\frac{W}{Q_{1}}

                                        \eta\ =\frac{Q_{1}- Q_{2}} {Q_{1}}

                                               =\ 1-\frac{Q_{2}} {Q_{1}}

This is the expression for the efficiency of heat engine.

Here, all the heat absorbed by the working substance can not be converted to desired output. The efficiency of a heat engine can not be 100 percent. Some amount of heat is lost in the form of sound and heat due to the friction which is produced due to the relative motion between various parts of the machine.
