v = speed of the source of sound or the train towards the listener or switchman = 40 m/s

V = actual speed of sound = 340 m/s

f = actual frequency of sound as emitted from source or the train = 1000 Hz

f' = frequency as observed by the listener or by switchman = ?

Using Doppler's law , frequency observed by a listener from a source moving towards it is given as

f' = V f /(V - v)

inserting the values

f' = 340 x 1000 /(340 - 40)

f' = 340 x 1000/300

A uniform solid sphere has a moment of inertia I about an axis tangent to its surface. What is the moment of inertia of this sph
arsen [322]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

given,

I is moment of inertia about an axis tangent to its surface.

moment of inertia about the center of mass

I_{CM} = \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2.....(1)

now, moment of inertia about tangent

I= \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2 + mR^2

I= \dfrac{7}{5}mR^2...........(2)

dividing equation (1)/(2)

\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}= \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{5}mR^2}{\dfrac{7}{5}mR^2}

\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}=\dfrac{2}{7}

I_{CM}=\dfrac{2}{7}I

the correct answer is option E

Pikes peak is a mountain in colorado. its height is 4301 m above sea level. what is its altitude in kilometers
valina [46]
Height and altitude have the same meaning.

Because 1 km = 10³ m, the altitude is
(4301 m)*(10⁻³ km/m) = 4.301 km

Answer: 4.301 km

What can you conclude about the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy of a pendulum is conserved neglecting the friction.

Explanation:

  • When a simple pendulum swings back and forth, it has some energy associated with its motion.
  • The total energy of a simple pendulum in harmonic motion at any instant of time is equal to the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.
  • The potential energy of the simple pendulum is given by P.E = mgh
  • The kinetic energy of the simple pendulum is given by, K.E = 1/2mv²
  • When the pendulum swings to one end, its velocity equals zero temporarily where the potential energy becomes maximum.
  • When the pendulum reaches the vertical line, its velocity and kinetic energy become maximum.
  • Hence, the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth is conserved neglecting the resistance.
