A hawk flying at 38 m/s emits a cry whose frequency is 440 Hz. A wren is moving in the same direction as the hawk at 17 m/s. (As

sume the speed of sound is 343 m/s.) (a) What frequency does the wren hear (in Hz) as the hawk approaches the wren? Hz (b) What frequency does the wren hear (in Hz) after the hawk passes the wren?

Answer:

frequency wren hear when approaches is 470.29 Hz

frequency wren hear after hawk pass is 415.75 Hz

Explanation:

given data

hawk velocity Vs= 38 m/s

frequency f = 440 Hz

wren velocity Vo= 17 m/s

speed of sound s = 343 m/s

to find out

What frequency wren hear and What frequency wren hear after hawk pass

solution

we apply here frequency formula that is

$f1=f ( \frac{s+V_o}{s+V_s} )$ .........1

here f1 is frequency hear by observer

put here all value as Vo and Vs negative because it approaches

$f1=f ( \frac{s-V_o}{s-V_s} )$

$f1=440 ( \frac{343-17}{343-38} )$

f1 = 470.29 Hz

so frequency wren hear when approaches is 470.29 Hz

and

after passing from equation 1 we take both Vo and Vs as positive

$f1=f ( \frac{s+V_o}{s+V_s} )$

$f1=440 ( \frac{343+17}{343+38} )$

f1 = 415.75 Hz

so frequency wren hear after hawk pass is 415.75 Hz

Three forces act on a moving object. One force has a magnitude of 83.7 N and is directed due north. Another has a magnitude of 5

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$|\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N$

$\theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''$

Explanation:

For an object to move with constant velocity, the acceleration of the object must be zero:

$\vec{a} = \vec{0}$ .

As the net force equals acceleration multiplied by mass , this must mean:

$\vec{F}_{net} = m \vec{a} = m * \vec{0} = \vec{0}$ .

So, the sum of the three forces must be zero:

$\vec{F}_1 + \vec{F}_2 + \vec{F}_3 = \vec{0}$ ,

this implies:

$\vec{F}_3 = - \vec{F}_1 - \vec{F}_2$ .

To obtain this sum, its easier to work in Cartesian representation.

First we need to define an Frame of reference. Lets put the x axis unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing east, with the y axis unit vector $\hat{j}$ pointing south, so the positive angle is south of east. For this, we got for the first force:

$\vec{F}_1 = 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j})$ ,

as is pointing north, and for the second force:

$\vec{F}_2 = 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i})$ ,

as is pointing west.

Now, our third force will be:

$\vec{F}_3 = - 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j}) - 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i})$

$\vec{F}_3 = 83.7 \ N \ \hat{j} + 59.9 \ N \ \hat{i}$

$\vec{F}_3 = (59.9 \ N , 83.7 \ N )$

But, we need the magnitude and the direction.

To find the magnitude, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}$

$|\vec{F}_3| = \sqrt{(59.9 \ N)^2 + (83.7 \ N)^2}$

$|\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N$

this is the magnitude.

To find the direction, we can use:

$\theta = arctan(\frac{F_{3_y}}{F_{3_x}})$

$\theta = arctan(\frac{83.7 \ N }{ 59.9 \ N })$

$\theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''$

and this is the angle south of east.

Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. Its mass is 2

lbvjy [14]

Density = mass/volume, volume = mass/density.
Since the mass of the small cube equals 20 and the mass of the large cube is double it would be 40.
Now plug in volume = 40 g/(7.87 g/cm^3).
Thus giving you a volume 5.08 cm^3

Which statement describes the reason for the change in the velocity of waves as temperature decreases?

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

O The particles of the medium move more slowly and there are fewer chances to transfer energy.

Explanation:

Various media are made up of particles. These particles are in constant motion according to the kinetic theory of matter. Recall that temperature has been defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a medium. Hence, for any given medium, the velocity of particle motion increases or decreases linearly with temperature.

The speed of particles in any medium increases or decreases as the temperature of the medium increases or decreases as emphasised above. Hence, at low temperature, the velocity of waves set up by the motion of particles in a medium decreases and transfer the wave energy to neighbouring particles occurs more slowly than at high temperatures.

A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface runs into a fixed spring, compressing it a distance x1 from its relaxed posit

inn [45]

Answer:twice of initial value

Explanation:

Given

spring compresses $x_1$ distance for some initial speed

Suppose v is the initial speed and k be the spring constant

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy converted into spring Elastic potential energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_1^2----1$

When speed doubles

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(2v)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_2^2----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}$

$x_2=2x_1$

Therefore spring compresses twice the initial value

F = 2.0*10^20 N,

natka813 [3]

$F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

With the given values of $F,G,m_1,r$ , we have

$2.0\times10^{20}\,\mathrm N=\dfrac{\left(6.67\times10^{-11}\,\frac{\mathrm{Nm}^2}{\mathrm{kg}^2}\right)\left(5.98\times10^{24}\,\mathrm{kg}\right)m_2}{\left(3.8\times10^8\,\mathrm m\right)^2}$

Try dealing with the powers of 10 first: On the right, we have

$\dfrac{10^{-11}\times10^{24}}{(10^8)^2}=\dfrac{10^{24-11}}{10^{16}}=10^{-3}$

Meanwhile, the other values on the right reduce to

$\dfrac{6.67\times5.98}{3.8^2}\approx2.76$

Then taking units into account, we end up with the equation

$2.0\times10^{20}\,\mathrm N=\left(2.76\times10^{-3}\,\dfrac{\mathrm N}{\mathrm{kg}}\right)m_2$

Now we solve for $m_2$ :

$m_2=\dfrac{2.0\times10^{20}\,\mathrm N}{2.76\times10^{-3}\,\frac{\mathrm N}{\mathrm{kg}}}\approx0.725\times10^{20-(-3)}\,\mathrm{kg}$

$m_2=7.25\times10^{22}\,\mathrm{kg}$

or, if taking significant digits into account,

$m_2=7.3\times10^{22}\,\mathrm{kg}$
