(1) The speed in trial U is less than that in Q.

(2) The speed in trial T is greater than that in other trials.

(3) The distance of Amy from the path in R is equal to distance in S.

(4) The speed in trial U is less than that in other trials.

(5) When the car is far away, the average of the frequencies moving in and out is equal to the frequency at rest.

(6) The speed in trial R is equal to that in S.

(7) The speed of the car in trial T is 58.6 m/s.

<h3>Speed of wave</h3>

The speed of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency and wavelength.

v = fλ

where;

v is speed of the wave
f is frequency of the wave
λ is wave length

The speed in trial U is less than that in Q, due to greater frequency observed in trial Q.

The speed in trial T is greater than that in other trials, due to greater frequency observed in trial T.

The distance of Amy from the path in R is equal to distance in S.

The speed in trial U is less than that in other trials.

<h3>Average of the frequencies when the car is far away</h3>

f(avg) = (1,055 + 1,020 + 986 + 985 + 940 + 862 + 830 + 828 + 808 + 730)/10

= 904.3 ≈ 900 Hz

When the car is far away, the average of the frequencies moving in and out is equal to the frequency at rest.

The speed in trial R is equal to that in S.

<h3>Speed of the car in trial T</h3>

f = f₀(v / v - vs)

where;

f is frequency of the car at zero position
f₀ is the original frequency
vs is the speed of the car
v is speed of sound

900 = 1055(340 / 340 - vs)

900/1055 = 340/340 - vs

0.853 = 340/340 - vs

340 - vs = 340/0.853

340 - vs = 398.6

vs = 398.6 - 340

vs = 58.6 m/s

Engineers and science fiction writers have proposed designing space stations in the shape of a rotating wheel or ring, which wou

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

w = 1.976 rpm

Explanation:

For simulate the gravity we will use the centripetal aceleration $a_c$ , so:

$a_c = w^2r$

where w is the angular aceleration and r the radius.

We know by the question that:

r = 60.5m

$a_c$ = 2.6m/s2

So, Replacing the data, and solving for w, we get:

$2.6m/s = w^2(60.5m)$

W = 0.207 rad/s

Finally we change the angular velocity from rad/s to rpm as:

W = 0.207 rad/s = 0.207*60/(2 $\pi$ )= 1.976 rpm

How many lines per mm are there in the diffraction grating if the second order principal maximum for a light of wavelength 536 n

grandymaker [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the principle of superposition and the equations of destructive and constructive interference.

Constructive interference can be defined as

$dSin\theta = m\lambda$

Where

m= Any integer which represent the number of repetition of spectrum

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

d = Distance between the slits.

$\theta$ = Angle between the difraccion paterns and the source of light

Re-arrange to find the distance between the slits we have,

$d = \frac{m\lambda}{sin\theta }$

$d = \frac{2*536*10^{-9}}{sin(24)}$

$d = 2.63*10^{-6}m$

Therefore the number of lines per millimeter would be given as

$\frac{1}{d} = \frac{1}{2.63*10^{-6} }$

$\frac{1}{d} = 379418.5\frac{lines}{m}(\frac{10^{-3}m}{1 mm})$

$\frac{1}{d} = 379.4 lines/mm$

Therefore the number of the lines from the grating to the center of the diffraction pattern are 380lines per mm

An electron accelerated from rest through a voltage of 780 v enters a region of constant magnetic field. part a part complete if

maxonik [38]

The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of $\Delta V=780 V$ , so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = e \Delta V$
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2 e \Delta V}{m} } = \sqrt{ \frac{2(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(780 V)}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s$

Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
$evB=m \frac{v^2}{r}$
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
$B= \frac{mv}{er}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)(1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0.25 m)} =3.8 \cdot 10^{-4} T$

Does the tension of a string affect the speed of a wave

Nata [24]

Yes , increased tension suggests increased molecular attraction between the molecules of the ropes which affect the increase in the speed of wave.
