two truckers are traveling directly away from each other at the same speed. If one trucker sounds her horn at a frequency of 206

Hz, and the other trucker hears a frequency of 189 Hz, determine the speed of the trucks. Use the speed of sound as 343 m/s. m/s

Answer:

v' = 14.76 m/s

Explanation:

given,

frequency of the one truck = 206 Hz

apparent frequency ,f' = 189 Hz

speed of sound, v = 343 m/s

speed of observer (v_o)and source (v_s) = v'

now, using Doppler's effect

f' = \dfrac{v-v_o}{v+v_s}\ f

f' = \dfrac{v- v'}{v+v'}\ f

189 = \dfrac{343- v'}{343+v'}\ 206

0.9174= \dfrac{343- v'}{343+v'}

314.69 + 0.9174 v' = 343 - v'

1.9174 v' = 28.30

v' = 14.76 m/s

hence, the speed of the truck is equal to 14.76 m/s

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration on an object when the force is held constant?
Andreyy89

Answer:

according to newtons second law of motion,

Force = mass * acceleration

The acceleration of the body is directly proportional to the net force acting on the body and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.

I. e mass and acceleration are directly proportional to each other.

3. A bottle of vitamin C contains 100 tablets and weighs 80 g. If the
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a

0.57g

b

20.52

c

28.5

Explanation:

a

The bottle weighs 80g with tablets

If the bottle alone weighs 23g, the tablets weigh 57g

100 tablets weigh 57g, 1 tablet weighs 0.57g

b

0.57g is one tablet, so to achieve 36 tablets we must multiply by 36

0.57 multiplied by 36 is 20.52

c

To find 50 tablets we can use the same method we used before or a slightly faster method

100 tablets is 57g, so all we have to do is halve to find 50

57 divided by 2 is 28.5

It takes 185 kj of work to accelerate a car from 23.0 m/s to 28.0 m/s. what is the car's mass?
Pachacha [2.7K]
<span>This question is based on conservation of energy as the work done would lead to change in kinetice energy of car change in KE = 1/2 mv(f)^2 - 1/2mv(i)^2 = 1/2m(v(f)^2-v(i)^2) where v(f) and v(i) are the final and initial speeds change in KE = 185kJ = 185,000J = 1/2 m((28m/s)^2-(23m/s)^2) 185,000=1/2 m(255m^2/s^2) solving for m m=1451kg</span>

What is the circle of least confusion?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In optics, a CoC(Circle of Confusion) is defined the minimum cross section of a paraxial bundle of rays made by a lens which is sphero-cylindrical type and can be viewed as an optical spot, which do not converge perfectly at the focus  while a point source is being imaged due to spherical aberration.

The Circle of Confusion is also referred to as circle of indistinctness or a blur spot

Consider a 100 g object dropped from a height of 1 m. Assuming no air friction (drag), when will the object hit the ground and a
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

speed and time are Vf = 4.43 m/s and  t = 0.45 s

Explanation:

This is a problem of free fall, we have the equations of kinematics

      Vf² = Vo² + 2g x

As the object is released the initial velocity is zero, let's look at the final velocity with the equation

      Vf = √( 2 g X)

      Vf = √(2 9.8  1)

      Vf = 4.43 m/s

This is the speed with which it reaches the ground

 

Having the final speed we can find the time

      Vf = Vo + g t

       t = Vf / g

       t = 4.43 / 9.8

       t = 0.45 s

This is the time of fall of the body to touch the ground
