The icy objects that mostly travel in long,elliptical orbits around the sun are known as COMETS. 

A comet is a miniscule solar system body that is made up mostly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rocks. The main body of the comet is called and the nucleus which primarily contains water, methane, nitrogen and other ices.

Answer:Highest frequency  =618.89Hz

Lowest frequency=582.22Hz

Explanation:

 The linear velocity of a sound generator  is related to angular velocity and is given as

Vs = rω  where

r = the radius of circular path = 1.0 m

ω is the angular velocity of the sound generator. = 100 rpm

1 rev/min = 0.10472 rad/s

100rpm =10.472 rad/ s

Vs = rω

= 1m x 10.472rad/ s=  10.472m/s

A) Highest frequency  heard by a student in the classroom = Maximum frequency. Using the Doppler effect formulae,

f max = (v/ v-vs) fs

Where , v is the speed of the sound in air at 20 degrees celcius =

343 metres per second

vs is the linear velocity of the sound generator=10.472m/s

fs is the frequency of the sound generator= 600 Hz

f max = (343/ 343 - 10.472) x 600

=343/332.528) x600

=618.89Hz

B) Lowest frequency  heard by a student in the classroom = Minimum frequency

f min = (v/ v+vs) fs

(343/ 343 + 10.472) x 600

=343/353.472) x 600

=582.22hz

a ball moves at a constant speed of 1/2 meter per second. How much time does it take the ball to move 1 meter?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

if a ball travels 1/2 meter per second, and there's 2 halfs in a whole, 1/2 meter per second x 2 halfs in a whole meter is 2 seconds to travel a meter
