Answer:

Shock waves

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is well noticed at moments where the speed of the source is going slower than the speed of the waves. E.g. the change in apparent frequency of the sound of a train horn. As the train nears the observer, the blast of its horn is observed at a high pitch and as the train accelerates further, the blast of its horn is observed at a low pitch.

A shock wave is observed if the source is going at an equal speed as or faster than the wave can go. When the origin of sound moves at an equal speed as sound, it results in the source being at the front edge of the waves that it forms at all times.

The attached image shows a snapshots in time of diverse wavefronts forned by an aircraft that is accelerating at an equal speed as sound. The circular lines represent compressional wavefronts of the sound waves. Notice that these circles are bunched up at the front of the aircraft. This phenomenon is known as a shock wave. Shock waves are also produced if the aircraft moves faster than the speed of sound. If a moving source of sound moves faster than sound, the source will always be ahead of the waves that it produces. The diagram at the right depicts snapshots in time of a variety of wavefronts produced by an aircraft that is moving faster than sound. Note that the circular compressional wavefronts fall behind the faster moving aircraft (in actuality, these circles would be spheres).

The unit used to measure electric current is the ampere (A). Now, assume that the current delivered at a wall socket reaches the

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

T = 0.017s

Explanation:

period is the time it takes a particle to make one oscillation

An electric current is periodic in nature

The current reaches 3.8A ten times.

So there must have been 10 cycles (10 periods) in 0.17s. let 'T' be the period:

$T=\frac{t}{n}$

t is the total time interval

n is the number of oscillations

$T=\frac{0.17}{10}$

10T = 0.17

T = 0.17/10 = 0.017s

You are looking down on a N = 9 turn coil in a magnetic field B = 0.5 T which points directly down into the screen. If the diame

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the voltage is $2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$ and the direction of the current is clockwise.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 9

Magnetic field = 0.5 T

Diameter = 3 cm

Time t = 0.14 s

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

$\phi=NAB$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=9\times\pi\times(1.5\times10^{-2})^2\times0.5$

$\phi=0.003180$

We need to calculate the emf

Using formula of emf

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{0.003180}{0.14}$

$\epsilon =-0.000227\ V$

$\epsilon=-2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$

Negative sign shows the direction of current.

Hence, The magnitude of the voltage is $2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$ and the direction of the current is clockwise.

Current passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In 1.00 second, 2.68×1016 Na+ ions arrive at the negative electrode and 3.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

10.6 mA

Explanation:

t = time interval = 1.00 s

q = magnitude of charge on each ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

n₁ = number of Na⁺ ions = 2.68 x 10¹⁶

q₁ = charge due to Na⁺ ions = n₁ q = (2.68 x 10¹⁶) (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) = 0.004288 C

n₂ = number of Cl⁻ ions = 3.92 x 10¹⁶

q₂ = charge due to Cl⁻ ions = n₂ q = (3.92 x 10¹⁶) (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) = 0.006272 C

i₁ = Current due to Na⁺ ions = $\frac{q_{1}}{t}$ = $\frac{0.004288}{1}$ = 0.004288 A

i₂ = Current due to Cl⁻ ions = $\frac{q_{2}}{t}$ = $\frac{0.006272}{1}$ = 0.006272 A

Current passing between the electrodes is given as

i = i₁ + i₂

i = 0.004288 + 0.006272

i = 0.01056 A

i = 10.6 x 10⁻³ A

i = 10.6 mA

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

$1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$ or $1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

23.4843749996 m

Yes

Explanation:

E = Electric field = $2\times 10^5\ N/C$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

m = Mass of proton= $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

q = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Acceleration is given by

$a=\dfrac{Eq}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{2\times 10^5\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}\\\Rightarrow a=1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

Dividing by g

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{1.9161676647\times 10^{13}}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

The acceleration is $1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$ or $1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{(0.1\times 3\times 10^8)^2-0^2}{2\times 1.9161676647\times 10^{13}}\\\Rightarrow s=23.4843749996\ m$

The distance is 23.4843749996 m

The gravitational field is very small compared to the electric field so the effects of gravity can be ignored.
