    Calculating Wave Frequency from Source and Receiver Measurements

    Homework Statement A wave source approaches you at constant speed and you measure a wave frequency f1. As the source passes and then recedes, you measure frequency f2. Find the expression for the frequency emitted if the source were stationary in terms of f1, f2, and wave speed v...

    Final Temperature of Copper-Water System

    Homework Statement A 505g piece of copper tubing is heated to 99.9 degrees C and placed in an insulated vessel containing 59.8g of water at 24.8 degrees C. Assuming no loss of water and a heat capacity for the vessel of 10.0 J/K, what is the final temperature of the system? (c of coppuer is...

    How Does Temperature Affect Gas Pressure in a Sealed Container?

    For the second problem, you are going to have to know the molarity of oxygen, so that you can find the original amount of O2 (grams) in the 2.30 L of O2. After you know the grams of O2, you can figure out the "n." Then, use PV=nRT, to calculate the new "n." By subtracting the new "n" from the...

    Displacement of Transverse Waves HELP

    i've seen the two second derivatives equal to each other, but i never thought of manipulating the equation to move the variables to one side. thank you again for all of your help. i really appreciate it! so just to double-check...the answer would be y(x,t) =2/[(x-3t)^(4)+1] ?

    Displacement of Transverse Waves HELP

    thank you so much for all of your help! i really, really appreciate it! I'm sorry, but I have another question: why do you set f{xx}(x,t)-1/v^(2) * f{tt}(x,t) = 0?

    What Are the Partial Pressures of Gases in a Glucose Combustion Reaction?

    C6H12O6 (glucose) +6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O If this reaction is carried out in an expandable container at 35degrees C and 780 torr, what is the partial pressure of each gas when the reaction is 50% complete (9.0 g of glucose remains)? I know that 35 degrees C = 308.15k and that 780 torr =...

    Displacement of Transverse Waves HELP

    Displacement of Transverse Waves HELP! Homework Statement At time t=0, the displacement of a transverse wave pulse is described by y=2/(x^(4) +1), with both x and y in cm. Write an expression for the wavefunction as a function of position x and time t if it is propagating in the positive x...
