The horn on a commuter train emits sound with a frequency of 342.5 Hz when the train is at rest. The train sounds its horn as it

passes a passenger platform at a constant speed of 41 m/s. What overall change in frequency is detected by a person on the platform as the train moves from approaching to receding? Remember that change of frequency means the final frequency minus the initial frequency. Be sure to include the correct sign on the answer. (Take the speed of sound to be 345 m/s.)

Answer:

Δf = -82.57 Hz

Explanation:

For this problem we will use Doppler effect formula:

f = \frac{C+Vr}{C+Vs}*fo    where:

C is the speed of sound

Vr is the velocity of the person = 0m/s

Vs is the velocity of the source (train): When approaching Vs = -41m/s and when receding Vs = 41m/s

fo = 342.5 Hz

When the train is approaching:

fa = \frac{C}{C+Vs}*fo = \frac{345}{345-41}*342.5=388.69Hz

And when the train is receding:

fr = \frac{C}{C+Vs}*fo = \frac{345}{345+41}*342.5=306.12Hz

So, the change of frequency will be:

Δf = fr - fa = 306.12 - 388.69 = -82.57 Hz

what is the energy now stored if the capacitor was disconnected from the potential source before the separation of the plates wa
diamong [38]

Answer:

Final energy = Uf = initial energy × d₂/d₁

Explanation:

Energy is the ability to do work.

capacitor is an electronic device that store charges

where

V is the potential difference

d is the distance of seperation between the two plates

ε₀ is the dielectric constant of the material used in seperating the two plates, e.g., paper, mica, glass etc.

A = cross sectional area

U =¹/₂CV²

C =ε₀A/d

C × d=ε₀A=constant

C₂d₂=C₁d₁

C₂=C₁d₁/d₂

charge will  'q' remains same in the capacitor, if the capacitor was disconnected from the electric potential source (v) before the separation of the plates was replaced

Energy=U =(1/2)q²/C

U₂C₂ = U₁C₁

U₂ =U₁C₁ /C₂

U₂ =U₁d₂/d₁

Final energy = Uf = initial energy × d₂/d₁

A kettle transfers 6,000j of energy electrically. 1,500j of this is wasted. what is the efficiency of this kettle?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:75 percent

Explanation:so in order tro fin d thge efficiency i used the forumla ,efficency=useful output energy/input energyx100%,in order to use this formula i needed the output,which i found by subtracting the input energy with wasted energy,that gave me the output,and after founding the output,i put that into the formula,

output energy=input energy - wasted energy

output energy=6000j-1500j

output energy=4500

put that into the formula

efficiency =output energy/input enrgy x100%

efficiency=4500/6000 multiplied by 100%

efficiency=0.75x100%

efficiency=75%

The Achilles tendon is a fibrous tissue that connects your soleus to your calcaneus and can withstand 145 MPa of tensile stress.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

 F = 1.2 10⁵ N

Explanation:

Force is defined by

          P = F / A

          F = P A

The area is

          A = π r²

the radius is half the diameter

          r = d / 2

          A = π d²/4

         

we substitute

          F = P π d²/4

let's calculate

          F = 145 10⁶  π (3.25 10⁻²)²/4

          F = 1.2 10⁵ N

Joan wants to test if salt lowers the temperature at which water boils.
ohaa [14]
In order to build a hypothesis, Joan should take an educated guess at what the effect of adding salt to the water will be on the water's boiling point. For example, the hypothesis may be,"The boiling point will increase". This hypothesis is one that can be verified or rejected via experimentation. The next step for Joan would be to set up an experiment to test this hypothesis.
