A truck moving at 36 m/s passes a police car moving at 45 m/s in the opposite direction. If the frequency of the siren is 500 Hz

relative to the police car, what is the change in frequency (in Hz) heard by an observer in the truck as the two vehicles pass each other? (The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.)

Answer:

change in frequency is 636 Hz

Explanation:

given data

speed v1 = 36 m/s

speed v2 = 45 m/s

frequency f = 500 Hz

speed of sound s = 343 m/s

to find out

what is the change in frequency

solution

we know here change of frequency formula that is

frequency = $\frac{s+v1}{s+v2}$ (f) ...................1

put here value in equation 1

and we take v2 = -45 because opposite direction

frequency = $\frac{s+v1}{s-v2}$ (f)

frequency = $\frac{343+36}{343-45}$ (500)

frequency = 636

so change in frequency is 636 Hz

A student sects a leaf of length 7.2 cm to draw. Her drawing is 28.8 cm in length. What is the magnification of the drawing?

Alina [70]

Answer:

A) x4

Explanation:

Magnification is equal to image size divided by the actual size, or M = I/A.

The image size is the student's drawing, which is 28.8 cm, and the actual size is 7.2 cm. Divide them, and cancel out the units, and you should get:

28.8 cm/7.2 cm = 4

Two charges, each of 2.9 microC are placed at two corners of a square 50cm on a side, If the charges are on one side of the squa

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge $q_{1}= 2.9\mu C$

Second charge $q_{2}= 2.9\mu C$

Distance between two corners r= 50 cm

We need to calculate the electric field due to other charges at one corner

For E₁

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r'^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\sqrt{2}\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{1}=52200=52.2\times10^{3}\ N/C$

For E₂,

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{2}=104400=104.4\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the horizontal electric field

$E_{x}=E_{1}\cos\theta$

$E_{x}=52.2\times10^{3}\times\cos45$

$E_{x}=36910.97=36.9\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the vertical electric field

$E_{y}=E_{2}+E_{1}\sin\theta$

$E_{y}=104.4\times10^{3}+52.2\times10^{3}\sin45$

$E_{y}=141310.97=141.3\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the net electric field

$E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{x}^2+E_{y}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{net}=\sqrt{(36.9\times10^{3})^2+(141.3\times10^{3})^2}$

$E_{net}=146038.69\ N/C$

$E_{net}=146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the direction of electric field

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}})$

$\theta=75.36^{\circ}$

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud

NARA [144]

<h2>Answer: 540 J</h2>

Explanation:

The Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:

$W=(F)(d)$ (1)

In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work $W$ performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box $F=45N$ by the distance traveled $d=12m$ .

Hence:

$W=(45N)(12m)$ (2)

$W=540Nm=540J$

Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work

Anni [7]

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.
