You are on a sled at the top of a hemispherical, snowy hill of radius 13 m. You begin to slide down the hill. How fast are you m

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be loss of potential energy due to loss of height and gain of kinetic energy .

loss of height = R - R cos 14 , R is radius of hemisphere .

R ( 1 - cos 12 )

= 13 ( 1 - .978 )

h = .286 m

loss of potential energy

= mgh

= m x 9.8 x .286

= 2.8 m

gain of kinetic energy

1/2 m v ² = mgh

v² = 2 g h

v² = 2 x 9.8 x 2.8

v = 7.40 m /s

A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red

Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed of physicist car is 0.036c or 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s .

Explanation:

Doppler Effect is defined as the change in frequency or wavelength of the wave as the source or/and observer moving away or towards each other.

In this case, the Doppler effect equation in terms of wavelength is :

$\lambda_{s} = \lambda_{o}\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }$ ......(1)

Here $\lambda_{s}$ is source wavelength, $\lambda_{o}$ is observed wavelength, v is speed of the observer and c is the speed of light.

Given :

Source wavelength, $\lambda_{s}$ = 660 nm = 660 x 10⁻⁹ m

Observed wavelength, $\lambda_{0}$ = 555 nm = 555 x 10⁻⁹ m

Substitute these values in the equation (1).

$555\times10^{-9} } = 660\times10^{-9} \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }$

$\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = 0.84$

${\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = (0.84)^{2} = 0.7056$

$1-\frac{v}{c}=0.7056+0.7056\frac{v}{c}$

$\frac{v}{c}=\frac{0.2944}{8.056}$

$v = 0.036c=0.036\times3\times10^{8}$

v = 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s

A ball that is attached to a string travels in a horizontal, circular path, as shown in Figure 1. At time t0 , the ball has a sp

Levart [38]

Answer:

F₁ = 4 F₀

Explanation:

The force applied on the string by the ball attached to it, while in circular motion will be equal to the centripetal force. Therefore, at time t₀, the force on ball F₀ is given as:

F₀ = mv₀²/r --------------- equation (1)

where,

F₀ = Force on string at t₀

m = mass of ball

v₀ = speed of ball at t₀

r = radius of circular path

Now, at time t₁:

v₁ = 2v₀

F₁ = mv₁²/r

F₁ = m(2v₀)²/r

F₁ = 4 mv₀²/r

using equation (1):

F₁ = 4 F₀

Electromagnetic waves require a medium to transfer energy True or False

Simora [160]

The statemengt is false. Electromgnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. They can transfer energy through vacuum (empty space with nothing in it). If electrimagnetic waves needed a medium to move through from place to place, then we could never see the sun, and also it would get very cold here.
