Answer: the moon is closer.

Explanation:

The moon is closer to the earth than the sun, which results in a larger gravitational gradient for the moon even though the sun is considerably more massive and has stronger overall gravity than the moon.

Two trains on separate tracks move toward each other. Train 1 has a speed of 145 km/h; train 2, a speed of 72.0 km/h. Train 2 bl
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Therefore,

The frequency heard by the engineer on train 1

f_{o}=603\ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Two trains on separate tracks move toward each other

For Train 1 Velocity of the observer,

v_{o}=145\ km/h=145\times \dfrac{1000}{3600}=40.28\ m/s

For Train 2 Velocity of the Source,

v_{s}=90\ km/h=90\times \dfrac{1000}{3600}=25\ m/s

Frequency of Source,

f_{s}=500\ Hz

To Find:

Frequency of Observer,

f_{o}=?  (frequency heard by the engineer on train 1)

Solution:

Here we can use the Doppler effect equation to calculate both the velocity of the source v_{s} and observer v_{o}, the original frequency of the sound waves f_{s} and the observed frequency of the sound waves f_{o},

The Equation is

f_{o}=f_{s}(\dfrac{v+v_{o}}{v -v_{s}})

Where,

v = velocity of sound in air = 343 m/s

Substituting the values we get

f_{o}=500(\dfrac{343+40.28}{343 -25})=500\times 1.205=602.64\approx 603\ Hz

Therefore,

The frequency heard by the engineer on train 1

f_{o}=603\ Hz

A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.63 m and moment of inertia I = 196 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

299.88 kgm²/s

499.758 kgm²/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of merry-go-round = 1.63 m

I = Moment of inertia = 196 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 1.53 rad/s

m = Mass of person = 73 kg

v = Velocity = 4.2 m/s

Initial angular momentum is given by

L=I\omega_i\\\Rightarrow L=196\times 1.53\\\Rightarrow L=299.88\ kgm^2/s

The initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round is 299.88 kgm²/s

Angular momentum is given by

L=mvR\\\Rightarrow L=73\times 4.2\times 1.63\\\Rightarrow L=499.758\ kgm^2/s

The angular momentum of the person 2 meters before she jumps on the merry-go-round is 499.758 kgm²/s

a man stands on a flat surface and shoots an arrow vertically into the sky at avelocity of 60 meters per second. calculate the m
Contact [7]
A) Vi= 60 m/s
a= -9.81 m/s^2
Vf= 0m/s^2
d=?

Vf^2=Vi^2+2ad
(0m/s)^2=(60m/s)^2+2(-9.81m/s^2)d
0=3600+(-19.62)d
-3600=(-19.62)d
(-3600)/(-19.62)=(-19.62)d/(-19.62)
d=183.5m

c) Vi= 60 m/s
a= -9.81 m/s^2
Vf= 0m/s^2
t=10s
d=?

d=Vi*t+(1/2)a*t^2
d=60m/s(10s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(10s)^2
d=600+(-4.905)(100)
d=600+(-490.5)
d=108.5m

Match each scientist with the contribution he made to the arrangement of elements in the periodic table
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
  • Dmitri Mendeleev- arranged elements according to their

atomic mass

  • Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner-created groups of three elements,

each based on similar properties

  • John Newlands-used patterns to predict undiscovered

elements

  • Antoine Lavoisier-divided elements into four categories

Explanation:

The periodic table or the table depicting the arrangement of various elements has a long history. Several of the scientist starting from Lavoisier to Mendeleev contributed to the table in their might. The present table has been an evolution of the previous tables over their shortcomings.

Some of the notable contributions include-

  • Mendeleev- Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of atomic mass rather than atomic mass. Through this, he also discovered new elements.
  • Newlands- He formulated the Newland law of octaves similar to musical notation.
  • Lavoisier- Lavoisier divided the elements into various categories and also defined elements.
  • Dobereiner- He formulated the triad law which encapsulated that certain group of elements showed similar properties, hence can be grouped together.
