Answer:

Explanation:

When they encounter boundaries between different media, the waves react according to Snell’s law, and the angle of refraction across the boundary will depend on the velocity of the second media relative to the first

600 J of work is done on a system in a process that decreases the thermal energy of the system by 300 J.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

900 J

Explanation:

$\Delta U$ = Change in entropy = -300 J (Decrease)

$W$ = Work done = 600 J

$Q$ = Heat transferred

Change in internal energy is given by

$\Delta U=W+Q\\\Rightarrow Q=\Delta U-W\\\Rightarrow Q=-300-600\\\Rightarrow Q=-900\ J$

The heat transferred to or from the system as heat is -900 J.

900 J is transferred. As heat is transferred from the system the sign is negative.

As the collision frequency of gas particles increases, the mean free path of the gas particles ____

Mamont248 [21]

As the collision frequency of gas particles increases, the mean free path of the gas particles decreases.

<h3>Frequency </h3>

The number of times a repeated event occurs in a given amount of time is known as its frequency. It is also sometimes called "temporal frequency" to stress the contrast to "spatial frequency" and "ordinary frequency" to underline the contrast to "angular frequency." Hertz (Hz), which is equal to one (event) per second, are the units used to express frequency. The reciprocal of frequency, the period is the length of time occupied by one cycle in a repeating event. When describing the temporal rate of change seen in oscillatory and periodic phenomena like mechanical vibrations, audio signals (sound), radio waves, and light, frequency is a crucial parameter utilized in science and engineering.

Two satellites, A and B are in different circular orbits

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The ratio of the orbital time periods of A and B is $\frac{1}{2}$

Solution:

As per the question:

The orbit of the two satellites is circular

Also,

Orbital speed of A is 2 times the orbital speed of B

$v_{oA} = 2v_{oB}$ (1)

Now, we know that the orbital speed of a satellite for circular orbits is given by:

$v_{o} = \farc{2\piR}{T}$

where

R = Radius of the orbit

Now,

For satellite A:

$v_{oA} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}$

Using eqn (1):

$2v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}$ (2)

For satellite B:

$v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{b}}$ (3)

Now, comparing eqn (2) and eqn (3):

$\frac{T_{a}}{T_{b}} = \farc{1}{2}$

When baking soda is mixed with lemon juice, bubbles are formed with the evolution of a gas. What type of change is it? Explain.

$\large{\underline{\underline{\pmb{\frak {\color {red}{Question:}}}}}}$

$\sf \red{When \: baking \: soda \: is \: mixed \: with \: lemon \: juice, \: bubbles \: are \: formed \: with \: the \: evolution \: of \: a \: gas.}$

$\large{\underline{\underline{\pmb{\frak {\color {blue}{Answer:}}}}}}$

When baking soda is mixed with lemon juice, bubbles are formed with the evolution of a gas. The gas is formed in the reaction is Carbon dioxide. $CO_{2}$ is formed.

The change which happened in this reaction is a chemical change.

$\boxed{ \frak \green{Explanation}}$

Since, in chemical change we can't bring a substance to it's actual form how it was in earlier.

Examples: burning of paper is chemical, since we can't get the fine paper again after it is burnt.

Thus, the above reaction is also a chemical change, since we can't get back the lemon juice how it was earlier.
