Pretend a person can walk only at a certain pace – no faster, no slower. If you time her uninterrupted walk across a room of kno

wn length, you can calculate her walking speed. If, however, she stops momentarily along the way to greet others in the room, the extra time spent in her brief interactions gives an average speed across the room that is less than her walking speed. How is this like light passing through glass? In what way is it not?

Explanation:

If a person is set to walk on a constant speed regardless of the situations then if the person walks a certain distance with no interruptions in an observed time then her speed can be calculated.

When the same person walking through the room momentarily stops to introduce herself then the average speed of the of the person slows down as it happens with the light wave when passes through glass which is an optically denser medium than the air, but the light wave does not stop anywhere in the medium.

It can be more relevant to the person's speed when she walks wading through the water or the person walks through the sand then the person feels resistance in the sand or in water which reduces her overall speed.

Two trains on separate tracks move toward each other. Train 1 has a speed of 109 km/h; train 2, a speed of 99.0 km/h. Train 2 bl
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

f_o=592.36 Hz

Explanation:

Given that

Train 1 (observer):

Speed = 109 km/h

Train 2 (source):

Speed = 99 km/h

Train 2 emitting frequency = 500 Hz

We know that observer and source are moving toward each other, then frequency heard by observer can be given as follows

f_o=\left(\dfrac{C+V_o}{C-V_s}\right)f_s

Where C is the velocity of sound  (C=1225 Km/h)

Now by putting the values

f_o=\left(\dfrac{C+V_o}{C-V_s}\right)f_s

f_o=\left(\dfrac{1225+109}{1225-99}\right)\times 500

f_o=592.36 Hz

6. Find the MAGNITUDE and ANGLE (counter-clockwise, from q=00, on the x-axis) of the vector C = A + B.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Magnitude of C= \sqrt{(Ax+Bx)^2+(Ay+By)^2)

Angle=arctan(Ay+By/Ax+Bx)

Explanation:

Let

A = Axi + Ayj

B = Bxi + Byj

where i and j  are unit vectors in the direction of x and y axes respectively.

C=A+B

C = (Ax + Bx)i + (Ay + By)j

The magnitude of vector C can be calculated by adding the square of  magnitude of its componets and then taking sqaure root.

Magnitude of C= \sqrt{(Ax+Bx)^2+(Ay+By)^2)

And the angle will be

Angle=arctan(Ay+By/Ax+Bx)

A baseball goes from zero to 38 m/s in 0.157 s. what is its average acceleration? answer in units of m/s 2 .
Likurg_2 [28]
Since acceleration is measured in whole seconds, you need to know how many times 0.157seconds goes into 1 second... (just divide 1 by 0.157) = 6.369

So if in 0.157seconds the baseball went from zero to 38m/s, then to find out how fast it would be traveling after one whole second just multiply 38m/s by 6.369

38m/s x 6.369 = 242.038 m/s^2

Which of the following actions would make a pulse travel faster along a stretched string? More than one answer may be correct. I
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Option d and e are correct.

Explanation:

The expression for velocity of pulse in a stretched string can be given as follows

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }

where T is tension in the string , m is mass of string per unit length.

Use of  lighter string of the same length, under the same tension  amounts to higher m so velocity will decrease. Hence option d is correct.

Similarly, v is directly  proportional to square root of tension. So if we increase tension , velocity also increases. So option e ) is correct.
