A musician on a unicycle is riding at a steady 6.2 m/s while playing their well tuned oboe at an A above middle C (440 Hz). They

then ride toward another musician sitting on a park bench also playing an A above middle C. However it appears to them that one of them is off as they hear beats. If we assume both are tuned properly and the outside temperature is 27 oC what will the beat frequency they hear be

Answer:

The frequency of the beat is  f_t =  8Hz    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed of the ride v = 6,2 m/s

   The frequency of the oboe is  f = 440Hz

    The temperature outside is  T = 27^oC

Generally the speed of sound generated in air is mathematically evaluated as

             v_s = 331  + 0.61 T

Substituting value

           v_s = 331 + 0.61 *27

           v_s = 347.47 \ m/s

The frequency of sound(generated by the musician on he park) getting to the musicians on the unicycle is mathematically evaluated as

                 f_a =  \frac{v_s }{v_s - v} f

substituting values

                f_a =  \frac{347.47 }{347.47  - 6.2} * 440                

               f_a =  448Hz

Since the musician on the park is not moving the frequency of sound (from the musicians riding the unicycle )getting to him is  = 440Hz

    The beat frequency these musician here is mathematically evaluated as

                  f_t = f_a - f  

So               f_t = 448 - 440  

                  f_t =  8Hz

Outside our solar system the closest star to earth is Proxima century life from the start takes 2200000 minutes to reach earth.
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

2200000 = 2.2E6 min for light from Proxima to reach earth

8.3 min from light sun to reach earth

2.2E6/8.3 = 2.56E5   times for light from Proxima

Proxima is about 256,000 times farther away than the sun

Since the sun is about 93,000,000 = 9.3E7 miles from earth

Proxima is then 9.3E7 * 2.56E5 = 2.4E13 miles away

Note - the speed of light is

3.00E8 m/s * 60 s/min / 1000 m/km = 1.8E7 km/min as given

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

6666.67 Newtons

Explanation:

The formula F=ma (force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration) can be used to calculate the answer to this question.

In this case:

  • mass= 0.1mg= 1*10^-7 kg
  • velocity= 4.00*10^3 m/s
  • time= 6.00*10^-8 s

Using velocity and time, acceleration can be calculated as:

  • a= 6.667*10^10 m/s²

Substituting these values into the formula F=ma, the answer is:

  • F= (1*10^-7)kg * (6.667*10^10) m/s²
  • F= 6666.67 Newtons of force

Two identical 7.10-gg metal spheres (small enough to be treated as particles) are hung from separate 700-mmmm strings attached t
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let m be mass of each sphere and θ be angle, string makes with vertex in equilibrium.

Let T be tension in the hanging string

T cosθ = mg ( for balancing in vertical direction )

for balancing in horizontal direction

Tsinθ = F ( F is force of repulsion between two charges sphere)

Dividing the two equations

Tanθ = F / mg

tan17 = F / (7.1 x 10⁻³ x 9.8)

F = 21.27 x 10⁻³ N

if q be charge on each sphere , force of repulsion between the two

F = k q x q / r² ( r is distance between two sphere , r = 2 x .7 x sin17  = .41 m )

21.27 x 10⁻³  = (9 X 10⁹ x q²) / .41²

q² = .3973 x 10⁻¹²

q = .63 x 10⁻⁶ C

no of electrons required  = q / charge on a single electron

= .63 x 10⁻⁶ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= .39375 x 10¹³

3.9375 x 10¹² .

What happens to the moleclues within a gas when the gas Condeenses
motikmotik
Condensation happens when molecules in a gas cool down. As the molecules lose heat, they lose energy and slow down. They move closer to other gas molecules. Finally these molecules collect together to form a liquid. Hope it helps
