What is a “ medium” in regards to waves ?

2 answers:

5 0

In a similar manner, a wave medium is the substance that carries a wave (or disturbance) from one location to another. ... In the case of our slinky wave, the medium through that the wave travels is the slinky coils. In the case of a water wave in the ocean, the medium through which the wave travels is the ocean water.

A medium can be anything that a wave can pass through e.g the medium can be solid objects, air, water, etc.

What is the barycenter of the moon and the earth

kirill [66]

Answer:

The barycenter is the point in space around which two objects orbit. For the Moon and Earth, that point is about 1000 miles (1700 km) beneath your feet, or about three-quarters of the way from the Earth's center to its surface.

A flask containing 855 grams of water was heated. If the temperature of the water was raised from 21.0 to 85.0 degrees Celsius,

marin [14]

Answer:

The heat absorbed by the water is 228,948.48 J

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

In this way, between heat and temperature there is a direct proportional relationship (Two magnitudes are directly proportional when there is a constant so that when one of the magnitudes increases, the other also decreases; and the same happens when either of the two decreases .). The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body and its mass, and is the product of the specific heat and the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, constituted by a substance of specific heat c and where ΔT is the variation in temperature.

In this case:

c= 4.184 $\frac{J}{g*C}$
m=855 g
ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 85 °C - 21°C= 64 °C

Replacing:

Q= 4.184 $\frac{J}{g*C}$ *855 g* 64 C

Solving:

Q= 228,948.48 J

The heat absorbed by the water is 228,948.48 J

the reaction of Al with HCl to produce hydrogen gas. What is the pressure of H2 if the hydrogen gas collected occupies 14 L at 3

juin [17]

Answer:

Pressure for H₂ = 11.9 atm

Option 5.

Explanation:

We determine the complete reaction:

2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) → 2AlCl₃(aq) + 3H₂(g)

As we do not know anything about the HCl, we assume that the limiting reactant is the Al and the acid is the excess reagent.

Ratio is 2:3.

2 moles of Al, can produce 3 moles of hydrogen

Therefore 4.5 moles of Al must produce (4.5 . 3) / 2 = 6.75 moles

Now we can apply the Ideal Gases law to find the H₂'s pressure

P . V = n . R . T → P = (n . R .T) / V

We replace data: (6.75 mol . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 300K) / 14L

Pressure for H₂ = 11.9 atm

A rock contains 0.623 mg of 206Pb for every 1.000 mg of 238U present. Assuming that no lead was originally present, that all the

maxonik [38]

Answer:

t = 3,496x10⁹ years

Explanation:

The decay of ²³⁸U is:

²³⁸U → ²⁰⁶Pb + 8He + 6e⁻

Moles of ²⁰⁶Pb presents in 0,623mg are:

0,623x10⁻³g×(1mol / 206g) = 3,02x10⁻⁶ moles of ²⁰⁶Pb.

These moles are equals to moles of ²³⁸U before decay, that means, 3,02x10⁻⁶ moles²³⁸U

In grams:

3,02x10⁻⁶ moles²³⁸U× (238g / 1mol) = 7,20x10⁻⁴ g ²³⁸U = 0,720 mg²³⁸U

That means initial ²³⁸U was 1,000mg + 0,720mg = 1,720mg

Applying the formula:

ln (N₀/N) t₁₂ = t ln2

Where N₀ is initial amount of uranium (1,720mg), N is concentration of uranium (1,000mg), half-life time is a constant (t₁₂= 4,468x10⁹ years) and t is the time transcurred for the reaction. Replacing:

ln(1,720/1)*4,468x10⁹ years = t ln2

t = 3,496x10⁹ years

I hope it helps!
