Explanation:

Take F=ma

a = F/m

For a higher, F higher or m lower

Means higher horse power for engine or lower mass for the car

In one of the original Doppler experiments, a tuba was played at a frequency of 64.0 Hz on a moving flat train car, and a second

wolverine [178]

Answer:

$f_{beat} = 1.64\ Hz$

Explanation:

given,

frequency of tuba.f = 64 Hz

Speed of train approaching, v = 8.50 m/s

beat frequency = ?

using Doppler's effect formula

$f' = f(\dfrac{v}{v-v_s})$

v_s is the velocity of the source

v is the speed of sound, v = 340 m/s

now,

$f' = 64\times (\dfrac{340}{340 - 8.50})$

f' = 65.64 Hz

now, beat frequency is equal to

$f_{beat} = f' - f$

$f_{beat} = 65.64 - 64$

$f_{beat} = 1.64\ Hz$

hence, beat frequency is equal to 1.64 Hz

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to machines?

allsm [11]

Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. ... This principle is referred to as the first law of thermodynamics or the law of energy conservation. The law applies to all systems both large and small, and, again, it states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.

A 16.2 kg person climbs up a uniform ladder with negligible mass. The upper end of the ladder rests on a frictionless wall. The

S_A_V [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. We will decompose the forces in the vertical and horizontal sense, and at the same time, we will perform summation of torques to eliminate some variables and obtain a system of equations that allow us to obtain the angle.

The forces in the vertical direction would be,

$\sum F_x = 0$

$f-N_w = 0$

$N_w = f$

The forces in the horizontal direction would be,

$\sum F_y = 0$

$N_f -W =0$

$N_f = W$

The sum of Torques at equilibrium,

$\sum \tau = 0$

$Wdcos\theta - N_wLsin\theta = 0$

$WdCos\theta = fLSin\theta$

$f = \frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$

The maximum friction force would be equivalent to the coefficient of friction by the person, but at the same time to the expression previously found, therefore

$f_{max} = \mu W=\frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$
