B) The decrease in atmospheric pressure relative to pressure inside the balloon causes it to expand.

Boyle said that, if temperature of ideal gas is kept constant then pressure and volume of ideal gas are inversely proportional to each other.

Pα1/V
Pressure decreases with elevation therefore volume of balloon increases.

500×0.5=250×X

250=250×X

X=250/250=1

X=1 m

A key falls from a bridge that is 45 m above the water. the key falls straight down and lands in a model boat traveling at a con

erastova [34]

Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion

$h = ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2.$ .

Take initial velocity, u=0, so

$h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ .

$h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\\ t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$

As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula

$d= v \times t$

From above substituting t,

$d = v \times \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$ .

Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get

$d = 3.5 \ m/s \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 45 m}{9.8 m/s^2} } = 10.60 m$ .

Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.

You are traveling in a car toward a hill at a speed of 36.4 mph. The car's horn emits sound waves of frequency 231 Hz, which mov

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

a. The frequency with which the waves strike the hill is 242.61 Hz

b. The frequency of the reflected sound wave is 254.23 Hz

c. The beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is

11.62 Hz

Explanation:

Part A

The car is the source of our sound, and the frequency of the sound wave it emits is given as 231 Hz. The speed of sound given can be used to determine the other frequencies, as expressed below;

$f_{1} = f[\frac{v_{s} }{v_{s} -v} ]$ ..............................1

where $f_{1}$ is the frequency of the wave as it strikes the hill;

f is the frequency of the produced by the horn of the car = 231 Hz;

$v_{s}$ is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 36.4 mph

Converting the speed of the car from mph to m/s we have ;

hint (1 mile = 1609 m, 1 hr = 3600 secs)

v = $36.4 mph *\frac{1609 m}{1 mile} *\frac{1 hr}{3600 secs}$

v = 16.27 m/s

Substituting into equation 1 we have

$f_{1}$ = $231 Hz (\frac{340 m/s}{340 m/s - 16.27 m/s})$

$f_{1}$ = 242.61 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency which the wave strikes the hill is 242.61 Hz.

Part B

At this point, the hill is the stationary point while the driver is the observer moving towards the hill that is stationary. The frequency of the sound waves reflecting the driver can be obtained using equation 2;

$f_{2} = f_{1} [\frac{v_{s}+v }{v_{s} } ]$

where $f_{2}$ is the frequency of the reflected sound;

$f_{1}$ is the frequency which the wave strikes the hill = 242.61 Hz;

$v_{s}$ is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 16.27 m/s.

Substituting our values into equation 1 we have;

$f_{2} = 242.61 Hz [\frac{340 m/s+16.27 m/s }{340 m/s } ]$

$f_{2}$ = 254.23 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency of the reflected sound is 254.23 Hz.

Part C

The beat frequency is the change in frequency between the frequency of the direct sound and the reflected sound. This can be obtained as follows;

Δf = $f_{2}$ - $f_{1}$

The parameters as specified in Part A and B;

Δf = 254.23 Hz - 242.61 Hz

Δf = 11.62 Hz

Therefore the beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is 11.62 Hz

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Pencils indeed should not be used as tools when working inside a computer because it is made of Lead.

Lead is a conductor of electricity and as such if it is left inside the computer at even miniscule quantities, it can redirect electricity and damage components in the process.

If one wants to work inside a computer, it is best to use tools like tweezers and needle-nose pliers.
