Physics

Oxana [17]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Given the equation of an ellipse:

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

The eccentrity of an ellipse is given by:

$e=\sqrt{1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}}$

For a circle, we have

$a=b$

Therefore the eccentricity of a circle is

$e=\sqrt{1-\frac{1^2}{1^2}}=0$

A source emits sound uniformly in all directions. There are no reflections of the sound. At a distance of 12 m from the source,

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

1.58 W

Explanation:

Since the sound spreads uniformly in all directions, it must be in a form of a circle with radius of 12 m. So the area of the circle is

$A = \pi r^2 = \pi 12^2 = 452.389 m^2$

From the intensity of the sound we can calculate the power at 12 m

$P = AI = 452.389 * 3.5\times10^{-3} = 1.58 W$

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 45.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Torque on the rocket will be 1.11475 N -m

Explanation:

We have given that muscles generate a force of 45.5 N

So force F = 45.5 N

This force acts on the is acting on the effective lever arm of 2.45 cm

So length of the lever arm d = 2.45 cm = 0.0245 m

We have to find torque

We know that torque is given by $\tau =F\times d=45.5\times 0.0245=1.11475N-m$

So torque on the rocket will be 1.11475 N -m

At the Indianapolis 500, you can measure the speed of cars just by listening to the difference in pitch of the engine noise betw

allsm [11]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Dopler effect.

The equation is defined by

$f_i = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}$

Where

$f_h$ = Approaching velocities

$f_i$ = Receding velocities

c = Speed of sound

v = Emitter speed

And

$f_h = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}$

Therefore using the values given we can find the velocity through,

$\frac{f_h}{f_0}=\frac{c-v}{c+v}$

$v = c(\frac{f_h-f_i}{f_h+f_i})$

Assuming the ratio above, we can use any f_h and f_i with the ratio 2.4 to 1

$v = 353(\frac{2.4-1}{2.4+1})$

$v = 145.35m/s$

Therefore the cars goes to 145.3m/s
