160 students sit in an auditorium listening to a physics lecture. Because they are thinking hard, each is using 125 W of metabol

ic power, slightly more than they would use at rest. An air conditioner with a COP of 5.0 is being used to keep the room at a constant temperature.
what minimum power should be used to operate the air conditioner?

Answer:

minimum power should be used to operate the air conditioner is 4000 W

Explanation:

given data

students  n = 160

power p = 125 W

COP = 5.0

to find out

what minimum power should be used

solution

we know the COP formula that is given below

COP = students × power  / minimum power

minimum power = n × p / COP

put all value

minimum power = n × p / COP

minimum power = 160 × 125 / 5

minimum power = 4000 W

minimum power should be used to operate the air conditioner is 4000 W

Answer: The frequency heard will be f = 275.675Hz

Explanation: When an object emitting sound is moving, it occurs a phenomenon called Doppler shift or Doppler effect. What happens is that the sound gets higher when the moving object comes closer the observer and becomes lower after it passes, This change is due to the quantity of waves that passes through an area in an unit of time.

The formula to calculate the Doppler effect is as follows

f = (\frac{c}{c+Vs}) · f₀

f is the observed frequency;

c is the speed of sound;

Vs is velocity of the source;

f₀ is the emitted frequency of source;

Substituting and calculating,

f = \frac{340}{340+30} · 300

f = 275.675 Hz

Thus, the frequency heard by the police officer is 275.675Hz.

Why is the ocean warmer than the air at night
Sliva [168]

You see, during the day the ocean collects heat from the sun. So the air above the ocean get warm at night, but the rest of the air on the land gets cooler because water has the ability to collect energy from the Sun.

When you throw a ball, the work you do to accelerate it equals the kinetic energy the ball gains. if you do twice as much work w
nata0808 [166]
It doesn't because when u threw it the first time, u notice that the ball eventually came to a stop because of the force that was acting upon it. Although when u throw it harder it will start out faster than the first time u threw it because u put more kinetic energy onto the ball. But the same thing happens with this ball that happened to the second ball, they both have a type of force acting upon them.

An elastic rope is tied securely to a wall. An upward-displaced pulse is introduced into the rope. The pulse travels through the
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Inverted (displaced downwards)

Explanation:

The pulse becomes INVERTED upon reflecting off the boundary with the wall. That is, an upward-displaced pulse will reflect off the end and return with a downward displacement. This inversion behavior will always be observed when the end of the medium is fixed, like this wall in this instance. This INVERSION BEHAVIOR can also be observed when the medium is connected to another more heavy or more dense medium. And in this case, when the pulse reaches the end of the medium, a portion of the pulse will reflect off the end and return with an inverted displacement. The heavier medium acts like a fixed end to cause the pulse to be inverted.

Summary: a pulse reaching the end of a medium becomes inverted whenever it either:

i. reflects off a fixed end,

ii. is moving in a less dense medium and reflects off a more dense medium.
