We actually are the same weight as they are on dry land due to gravity acting at a constant acceleration on the mass of the object. Objects due however "appear" to weigh less in water. This is due to what is known as buoyancy. Buoyancy is actually the upward force of a liquid acting on an object that is placed in it.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

64.945 miles per hour

Explanation:

Since the frequency of sound heard is higher than actual frequency, the ambulance is moving towards you!

The frequency of sound waves as heard from a distance for a sound wave coming towards one at v₀ m/s and whose real frequency is f₀ is given by

+f = f₀/[1 - (v₀/v)]

+f = frequency of sound as heard from the distance away = 8.61 KHz

f₀ = real frequency of sound = 7.87 KHz

v₀ = velocity at which the sound source is moving towards the reference point = ?

v = velocity of sound waves = 343 m/s

8.61 = 7.87/(1 - (v₀/v))

1 - (v₀/343) = 0.9141

v₀/343 = 1 - 0.9141 = 0.0859

v₀ = 343 × 0.0859 = 29.48 m/s = 64.945 miles per hour

The electric potential at the origin of an xy-coordinate system is 40 V. A -8.0-μC charge is brought from x = +∞ to that point.
vredina [299]

Answer:

-320 μJ.

Explanation:

Consider a point with an electrical charge of q. Assume that V is the electrical potential at the position of that charge. The electrical potential of that point charge will be equal to:

\text{Potential Energy} = q \cdot V.

Keep in mind that since both q and V might not be positive, the size of the electrical potential energy might not be positive, either.

For this point charge,

  • q = \rm -8.0\; \mu C; (that's -8.0 microjoules, which equals to \rm -8.0\times 10^{-6}\; J)
  • V = \rm 40\; V.

Hence its electrical potential energy:

\text{Potential Energy} = q\cdot V = \rm (-8.0\; \mu C) \times 40\; V = -320\; \mu J.

Why is this value negative? The electrical potential energy of a charge is equal to the work needed to bring that charge from infinitely far away all the way to its current position. Also, negative charges are attracted towards regions of high electrical potential. Bringing this \rm -8.0\; \mu C negative charge to the origin will not require any external work. Instead, this process will release 320 μJ of energy. As a result, the electrical potential energy is a negative value.
