A loudspeaker in a parked car is producing sound whose frequency is 20950 Hz. A healthy young person with normal hearing is stan

ding nearby on the sidewalk but cannot hear the sound because the frequency is too high. When the car is moving away from the person, the person can hear the sound. If the speed of sound is 343 m/s, what is the minimum speed of the moving car?

Answer:

359 m/s

Explanation:

Highest frequency a person can hear is 20,000Hz.

f = c × λ

Frequency = Wave speed × Wavelength

Wavelength = 20,000 ÷ 343 = 58.31m

Wavespeed = Frequency ÷ Wavelength

c = 20,950 ÷ 58.31 = 359.3 m/s

= 359 m/s (3 s.f.)

Does passing a magnet through a coil of wire break off it’s electric current
hichkok12 [17]
A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).

So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.

A car speeds over a hill past point A, as shown in the figure. What is the maximum speed the car can have at point A such that i
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill, there are two forces on the car: weight force pulling down (towards the center of the circle), and normal force pushing up (away from the center of the circle).

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg − N = m v²/r

At the maximum speed, the normal force is 0.

mg = m v²/r

g = v²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 14.2 m)

v = 11.8 m/s

When you step on the accelerator to increase the speed of your car, the force that accelerates the car is: A. the force of your
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

B. the force of friction of the road on the tires

Explanation:

Unless the car engine is like jet engine, the main force that accelerates the car forward is the force of friction of the road on the tires, which is ultimately driven by the force of engine on the tires shaft. As the engine, and the shaft are part of the system, their interaction is internal. According to Newton laws of motion, the acceleration needs external force, in this case it's the friction of the road on the tires.

An object glides on a horizontal tabletop with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5. If its initial velocity is 4.3 m/s, how
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.87 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the object, u = 4.3 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction between horizontal tabletop and the object is 0.5

We need to find the time taken by the object for the object to come to rest i.e. final velocity will be 0.

Using first equation of motion to find it as :

v=u+at

a is the acceleration, here, a=\mu g

0=u+\mu gt

t=\dfrac{u}{\mu g}\\\\t=\dfrac{4.3}{0.5\times 9.8}\\\\t=0.87\ s

So, the time taken by the object to come at rest is 0.87 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
