They make electricity by directing the flow of water past turbines causing them to spin. When the turbines spin it creates a current in the wire, electricity.


Good Luck! Hope I helped:)

If you have 80g of a radioactive substance whose half life is 2 days, how long will it take for the substance to decay to the po
Ber [7]

Answer:

6 days.

Explanation:

From radioactivity, The expression for half life is given as,

R/R' = 2⁽ᵃ/ᵇ)................... Equation 1

Where R = original mass of the radioactive substance, R' = Remaining mass of the radioactive substance after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, b = half life.

Given: R = 80 g, R' = 10 g, b = 2 days.

Substitute into equation 1

80/10 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

8 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

2³ = 2⁽ᵃ/²)

Equating the base and solving for a

3 = a/2

a = 2×3

a = 6 days.

You are traveling in a car toward a hill at a speed of 36.4 mph. The car's horn emits sound waves of frequency 231 Hz, which mov
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

<em>a. The frequency with which the waves strike the hill is 242.61 Hz</em>

<em>b. The frequency of the reflected sound wave is 254.23 Hz</em>

<em>c. The beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is  </em>

<em>    11.62 Hz</em>

Explanation:

Part A

The car is the source of our sound, and the frequency of the sound wave it emits is given as 231 Hz. The speed of sound given can be used to determine the other frequencies, as expressed below;

f_{1} = f[\frac{v_{s} }{v_{s} -v} ] ..............................1

where f_{1} is the frequency of the wave as it strikes the hill;

f is the frequency of the produced by the horn of the car = 231 Hz;

v_{s} is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 36.4 mph

Converting the speed of the car from mph to m/s we have ;

hint (1 mile = 1609 m, 1 hr = 3600 secs)

v = 36.4 mph *\frac{1609 m}{1 mile} *\frac{1 hr}{3600 secs}

v = 16.27 m/s

Substituting into equation 1 we have

f_{1} =  231 Hz (\frac{340 m/s}{340 m/s - 16.27 m/s})

f_{1}  = 242.61 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency which the wave strikes the hill is 242.61 Hz.

Part B

At this point, the hill is the stationary point while the driver is the observer moving towards the hill that is stationary. The frequency of the sound waves reflecting the driver can be obtained using equation 2;

f_{2} = f_{1} [\frac{v_{s}+v }{v_{s} } ]

where f_{2} is the frequency of the reflected sound;

f_{1}  is the frequency which the wave strikes the hill = 242.61 Hz;

v_{s} is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 16.27 m/s.

Substituting our values into equation 1 we have;

f_{2} = 242.61 Hz [\frac{340 m/s+16.27 m/s }{340 m/s } ]

f_{2}  = 254.23 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency of the reflected sound is 254.23 Hz.

Part C

The beat frequency is the change in frequency between the frequency of the direct sound  and the reflected sound. This can be obtained as follows;

Δf = f_{2} -  f_{1}  

The parameters as specified in Part A and B;

Δf = 254.23 Hz - 242.61 Hz

Δf  = 11.62 Hz

Therefore the beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is 11.62 Hz
