The Coulomb's law equation is F = Kq₁q₂/r².

<h3>What is Coulomb's law?</h3>

This is the law that relates the product of two charges to the square of distance between the two charges.

Coulomb's law states that the force of attraction or repulsion is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the charges.

<h3>Coulombs' law equation</h3>

The equation of Coulomb's law is given as;

F = Kq₁q₂/r²

where;

K is Coulomb's constant, Nm²/C²
q₁ is the first charge, C
q₂ is the second charge, C)
r is the distance between the charges, m

Thus, the Coulomb's law equation is F = Kq₁q₂/r².

A sound source A and a reflecting surface B move directly toward each other. Relative to the air, the speed of source A is 28.7

aleksandrvk [35]

(a) 1440.5 Hz

The general formula for the Doppler effect is

$f'=(\frac{v+v_r}{v+v_s})f$

where

f is the original frequency

f is the apparent frequency

$v$ is the velocity of the wave

$v_r$ is the velocity of the receiver (positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative otherwise)

$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (positive if the source is moving away from the receiver, negative otherwise)

Here we have

f = 1110 Hz

v = 334 m/s

In the reflector frame (= on surface B), we have also

$v_s = v_A = -28.7 m/s$ (surface A is the source, which is moving towards the receiver)

$v_r = +62.2 m/s$ (surface B is the receiver, which is moving towards the source)

So, the frequency observed in the reflector frame is

$f'=(\frac{334 m/s+62.2 m/s}{334 m/s-28.7 m/s})1110 Hz=1440.5 Hz$

(b) 0.232 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by

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

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

In the reflector frame,

f = 1440.5 Hz

So the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{334 m/s}{1440.5 Hz}=0.232 m$

(c) 1481.2 Hz

Again, we can use the same formula

$f'=(\frac{v+v_r}{v+v_s})f$

In the source frame (= on surface A), we have

$v_s = v_B = -62.2 m/s$ (surface B is now the source, since it reflects the wave, and it is moving towards the receiver)

$v_r = +28.7 m/s$ (surface A is now the receiver, which is moving towards the source)

So, the frequency observed in the source frame is

$f'=(\frac{334 m/s+28.7 m/s}{334 m/s-62.2 m/s})1110 Hz=1481.2 Hz$

(d) 0.225 m

The wavelength of the wave is given by

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

where in this case we have

v = 334 m/s

f = 1481.2 Hz is the apparent in the source frame

So the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{334 m/s}{1481.2 Hz}=0.225 m$

A 5.00 kg mass is placed on top of a vertical spring, which compresses a distance of 3.13 cm. Calculate the force constant (in N

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m=5kg

compression x= 3.13cm to m= 0.0313m

<em>According to Hooke's law, provided the elastic limit of an elastic material is not exceeded the extension e is directly proportional to the applied force</em>

F=ke

where

k= spring constant in N/m

e= extension/compression in

Step two:

assume g= 9.81m/s^2

F=mg

F=5*9.81

F=49.05N

substitute in the expression F=ke

49.05=k*0.0313

k=49.05/0.0313

k=1567.09 N/m

<u>The force constant (in N/m) of the spring is 1567.09 N/m</u>

21. An AC generator has an rms output voltage of 274 V at a frequency of 57.0 Hz.

maks197457 [2]

The answers are as follows;

a) the inductive reactance is 322 ohm

b) The maximum voltage is 387.5 V

c) The rms and maximum currents in the inductor are 1.2 A and 0.85 A.

<h3>What is the reactance?</h3>

The reactance is obtained from;

XL = 2πfL

XL = 2 * 3.14 * 57.0 * 0.900

XL = 322 ohm

The maximum voltage is obtained as;

Vo = Vrms * √2

Vo = 274 V * √2

Vo = 387.5 V

Io = Vo/XL

Io = 387.5 V/ 322 ohm

Io = 1.2 A

Irms = 274 V/322 ohm

Irms = 0.85 A

How to find resultant force?

LuckyWell [14K]

Explanation:

To find the resultant force subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force. The direction of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force

Which describes the wavelength of a wave?

NARA [144]

<span>So we want to know what physical quantity represents the wavelength of a wave. Waves have a few phyiscal quantities that are used to describe them. Frequency, amplitude and wavelength. Frequency is the number of oscillations in a specific time interval, amplitude is the maximal elongation of a wave and wavelength is the distance from one point ona a wave to the next similar point. So the correct answer is B. </span>
