While anchored in the middle of a lake, you count exactly five waves hitting your boat every 10 s. you raise anchor and start mo

toring slowly in the same direction the waves are going. when traveling at 1.5 m/s, you notice that exactly three waves are hitting the boat from behind every 10 s. what is the speed of the waves on the lake?

<span>Every 10s 5 waves; t1 = 2s for each wave
 When v = 1.5m/s, 3 waves in 10s t2 = 10 / 3s
  Calculating the frequency in first case f1 = 5 / 10 = 0.5
 Calculating the frequency in second case f2 = 3 / 10 = 0.3
 Using the Doppler formula f = (1-v/c) f0
  For the formula f = f2, v = velocity of boat= 1.5 m/s, f0 = f1, c is velocity of wave 0.3 = 0.5 x (1 - 1.5/c) => 1.5/c = 1 - 0.6 => 1.5/c = 0.4 => c = 1.5/0.4 Velocity of the wave = 3.75 m/s</span>

A single-turn circular loop of radius 6 cm is to produce a field at its center that will just cancel the earth's field of magnit
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The current is  I  = 6.68 \  A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The radius of the loop is  r =  6 \ cm  = 0.06 \ m

     The  earth's magnetic field is B_e =  0.7G=  0.7  G * \frac{1*10^{-4} T}{1 G}  = 0.7 *10^{-4} T

      The  number of turns is  N  =1

Generally the magnetic field generated by the current in the loop is mathematically represented as

        B  =  \frac{\mu_o  * N  *  I}{2 r }

Now for the earth's magnetic field to be canceled out the magnetic field generated by the loop must be equal to the magnetic field out the earth

         B  =  B_e

=>     B_e =  \frac{\mu_o  *  N  *  I  }{ 2 * r}

     Where  \mu is the permeability of free space with value  \mu _o  =   4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2

       0.7  *10^{-4}=  \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7}  * 1 * I}{2 * 0.06}

=>     I  =  \frac{2 *  0.06 *  0.7 *10^{-4}}{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 1}

       I  = 6.68 \  A

A hoop (I = MR2) of mass 3 kg and radius 1.1 m is rolling at a center-of-mass speed of 11 m/s. An external force does 842 J of w
Scilla [17]

Answer:

v_f = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Since the hoop is rolling on the floor so its total kinetic energy is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

now for pure rolling condition we will have

v = R\omega

also we have

I = mR^2

now we will have

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(mR^2)\frac{v^2}{R^2}

KE = mv^2

now by work energy theorem we can say

W = KE_f - KE_i

842 J = mv_f^2 - mv_i^2

842 = 3(v_f^2) - 3\times 11^2

now solve for final speed

v_f = 20 m/s

The air is soundproof??
Svet_ta [14]
Not possible. The air is actually able to travel sound throughout itself without any difficulties. I believe, air actually brings sound closer to the people farther away ; It really helps to stretch sound.
