Ans) A) Centripetal force will be doubled.

See centripetal force F = mv^2/r

That means centripetal force is directly proportional to the mass of the particle

So, if we double the mass, centripetal force will be increased by twofolds.

So, option A) is correct.

Now, looking at the other options,

B) says centripetal force is unaltered which is incorrect as centripetal force has been altered and increased twofold.

Option C) and D) reduces centripetal force which are also not possible here.

So, only Option A) is correct

Hi there!

We know that:

Force due to gravity = Mgsinθ

Force due to friction = μMgcosθ

Let the positive direction be directed in the direction of the block's acceleration, which is downward.

Thus:

ΣF = Mgsinθ - μMgcosθ

Solving for acceleration requires diving all terms by the mass, so:

a = gsinθ - μgcosθ

Substitute in given values. (g = 9.8 m/s²)

a = 9.8sin(30) - 0.3(9.8)cos(30) = 2.354 m/s²

iris [78.8K]

The answer to this question is C. The reason why this is an incorrect statement is that the Doppler effect takes into account two moving objects. In this scenario, both the source and the listener are stationary to the frequency of the sound waves will not change due to the Doppler effect. For the other answers, the frequency of sound waves is not affected by nature of the medium. The distance between a sound source and listener does not alter the frequency of the sound wave. The frequency of the sounds waves remains the same to the listener.
