A train is traveling away from you at 120 km/h. it blows its whistle, and you hear a tone of 0.400 kHz. Take the speed of sound

to be 340 m/s. What frequency does the whistle actually produce? A) 444 Hz. B) 439 Hz C) 364 Hz D) 361 Hz

Answer:B)439.21 Hz

Explanation:

Given

velocity of train $v=120 km/h\approx 120\times \frac{5}{18}=33.33 m/s$

frequency of train $f_a=0.400 kHz\approx 400 Hz$

speed of sound $c=340 m/s$

frequency from Doppler effect can be calculated by

$f_a=(\frac{c}{c+v})\cdot f$

$400=(\frac{340}{340+33.33})\cdot f$

$400=\frac{340}{373.33}\cdot f$

$f=400\times 1.098$

$f=439.21 Hz$

A metal rod A and a metal sphere B, on insulating stands, touch each other. They are originally neutral. A positively charged ro

ryzh [129]

Answer:

The sphere is positively charged

Explanation:

This is because when the positively charged rod is brought near the metal rod A, the electrons in metal rod A and sphere B are attracted towards it into metal rod A while the positive charges in the are repelled into sphere B. So, when the charged rod is withdrawn, and metal rod A and sphere B are separated, metal rod A is now negatively charged, but sphere B is positively charged.

So, sphere B is positively charged.

A go-cart and rider have a mass of 14 kg. If the cart accelerates at 6m/s^2 during a 40 m sprint in 100 seconds, how much power

lara [203]

Answer:

P = 33.6 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = forces [N]

m = mass = 14 [kg]

a = acceleration = 6 [m/s²]

$F = 14*6\\F = 84 [N]$

In the second part of this problem we must find the work done, where the work in physics is known as the product of force by distance, it is important to make it clear that force must be applied in the direction of movement.

$W = F*d$

where:

W = work [J]

F = force = 84 [N]

d = displaciment = 40 [m]

$W = 84*40\\W = 3360 [J]$

Finally, the power can be calculated by the relationship between the work performed in a given time interval.

$P=W/t\\$

where:

P = power [W]

W = work = 3360 [J]

t = time = 100 [s]

Now replacing:

$P=3360/100\\P=33.6[W]$

The power is given in watts

Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 571nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength, $\lambda=571 nm=571\times 10^{-9} m$

$1 nm=10^{-9} m$

R=75 cm= $\frac{75}{100}=0.75 m$

1 m=100 cm

$d=0.640 mm=0.64\times 10^{-3} m$

$1 mm=10^{-3} m$

$a=0.434 mm=0.434\times 10^{-3} m$

$y=0.830 mm=0.830\times 10^{-3} m$

$I_0=5.00\times 10^{-4}W/m^2$

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{R}$

$\theta=\frac{0.830\times 10^{-3}}{0.75\times 10^{-2}}$

$\theta=1.1\times 10^{-3}rad$

$tan\theta\approx \theta$

Because $\theta$ is small.

$\phi=\frac{2\pi dsin\theta}{\lambda}$

$\sin\theta\approx \theta$ ,

Therefore

$\phi=\frac{2\times\pi\times 0.64\times 10^{-3}\times 1.1\times 10^{-3}}{571\times 10^{-9}}$

$\phi=7.74 rad$

$\beta=\frac{2\pi a\theta}{\lambda}$

$\beta=5.3 rad$

$I=I_0cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{\beta}{2}}{\frac{\beta}{2}})^2$

$I=5\times 10^{-4}cos^2(\frac{7.74}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{5.3}{2}}{\frac{5.3}{2}})^2$

$I=8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$
