Answer: 0.4 m

Explanation:

Given

Speed of ambulance, vs = 61.9 m/s

Speed of car = 28.5 m/s

Frequency of ambulance siren, f = 694 Hz

Velocity of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

With speed of ambulance being (61.9 m/s) -> We solve using

fd = f(v + vr) / (v - vs), where vr = 0

fd = 694 * (343 + 0) / (343 - 61.9)

fd = 694 * (343 / 281.1)

fd = 694 * 1.22

fd = 847 Hz

Recall,

λ = v/f

λ = 343/847

λ = 0.4 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the sound of the ambulance’s siren if you are standing at the position of the car is 0.4 m

Un pintor de 75.0 kg sube por una escalera de 2.75 m que está inclinada contra una pared vertical. La escalera forma un ángulo d
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Work done, W = 1786.17J

Explanation:

The question says "A 75.0-kg painter climbs a 2.75-m ladder that is leaning against a vertical wall. The ladder makes an angle of 30.0 ° with the wall. How much work (in Joules) does gravity do on the painter? "

Mass of a painter, m = 75 kg

He climbs 2.75-m ladder that is leaning against a vertical wall.

The ladder makes an angle of 30 degrees with the wall.

We need to find the work done by the gravity on the painter.

The angle between the weight of the painter and the displacement is :

θ = 180 - 30

= 150°

The work done by the gravity is given by :

W=Fd\cos\theta\\\\=75\times 10\times 2.75\times \cos30\\\\=1786.17\ J

Hence, the required work done is 1786.17 J.

If the magnitude of the electric field in air exceeds roughly 3 ✕ 106 N/C, the air breaks down and a spark forms. For a two-disk
Westkost [7]

Answer:

1.843 x 10^-5 C  

Explanation:

<u><em>Givens:   </em></u>

It is given that the air starts ionizing when the electric field in the air exceeds a magnitude of 3 x 10^6 N/C, which means that the max electric field can stand without forming a spark is 3 x 10^6 N/C.  

Also it is given that the radius of the disk is 50 cm, it is required to find out the max amount of charge that the disk can hold without forming spark, which means the charge that would produce the max magnitude of the electric field that air can stand without forming spark, and since we know that the electric field in between 2 disk "Capacitor" is given by the following equation  

E = (Q/A)/∈o                                (1)

Where,

Q: total charge on the disk.

A: the area of the disk.  

<u><em>Calculations:  </em></u>

We want to find the quantity of charge on the disk that would produce an electric field of 3 x 10^6 N/C, knowing the radius of the disk we can find the cross-section of the disk, thus substituting in equation (1) we find the maximum quantity of charge the disk can hold  

Q = EA∈o

   = (3 x 10^6) x (π*0.50) x (8.85 x 10^-12)  

  = 1.843 x 10^-5 C  

note:

calculations maybe wrong but method is correct
