Answer : The frequency decreases by a factor of 2.

Explanation :

Given that the wave travels at a constant speed. The speed of the wave is given as :

$v=\nu\times \lambda$

Where

υ is the frequency of the wave

and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

In this case, the speed is constant. So, the relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse.

$\nu\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

If the wavelength increases by a factor of 2, its frequency will decrease by a factor of 2.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " The frequency decreases by a factor of 2 ".

An electric motor consumes 8.40 kJ of electrical energy in 1.00 min. Part A If one-third of this energy goes into heat and other

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The torque is 0.31 Nm.

Explanation:

Electrical energy, E = 8400 J

time, t = 1 min

Angular speed, w = 2900 rpm = 303.53 rad/s

efficiency = 2/3 of input power

The toque is given by

$P =\tau w\\\\\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{E}{t}=\tau w\\\\\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{8400}{60}=\tau \times 303.53\\\\\tau =0.31 Nm$

If the escalator pulls you up a slope of 30.0o and moves with a velocity of 3.10m/s. What is the vertical component of your v

ioda

Answer:

$1.55\ \text{m/s}$

$2.68\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the elevator = 3.1 m/s

$\theta$ = Angle of the slope = $30^{\circ}$

Vertical component is given by

$v_y=v\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow v_y=3.1\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_y=1.55\ \text{m/s}$

The vertical component of the velocity is $1.55\ \text{m/s}$ .

Horizontal component is given by

$v_x=v\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow v_x=3.1\times \cos30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_x=2.68\ \text{m/s}$

The horizontal component of the velocity is $2.68\ \text{m/s}$ .

At the end of a race a runner decelerates from a velocity of 11.00 m/s at a rate of 0.300 m/s2. (a) how far does she travel in t

inessss [21]

given that initial velocity is

$v_i = 11 m/s$

deceleration is given as

$a = -0.3 m/s^2$

now we have to find the distance covered in 16 s

$d = v_i * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$d = 11*16 - \frac{1}{2}*0.3*16^2$

$d = 137.6 m$

so it will cover 137.6 m distance

part b)

in order to find the final speed

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 11 - 0.3*16$

$v_f = 6.2 m/s$

so its speed will be 6.2 m/s
