Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on Doppler's effect , for which expression is as follows

n = \frac{n_o(V+v_o)}{(V-v_s)}

n is apparent frequency , n₀ is original frequency , V is velocity of light , v₀ is velocity of observer and v_s is velocity of source , both coming towards each other.

Putting the values

n = \frac{262(344+18)}{(344-30)}

n = 302 .

Which of the following statements about language is true?
ohaa [14]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Language is defined as a medium through which a person can deliver its thoughts, ideas, or perceptions to one or more individuals.

For example, Leslie is feeling sad and that is why she is crying. Therefore, listening a cry sound her friend sitting in the next room came immediately to console her.

Hence, sound of crying is also a sign of language that tells Leslie is sad about something.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement languages use spoken sounds, written words, and signs to represent ideas and events, is true about language.

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) has a radius of approximately 1.6 × 10-15 m. A
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e

P = mv

Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.

From this we calculate the speed as

v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)

v = 1.5x10^7 m/s

The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg

Therefore,

P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27

P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Compare the time period of two simple pendulums of length 4m and 16m at a place.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum

Explanation:

Recall that the period (T) of a pendulum of length (L)  is defined as:

T=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }

where "g" is the local acceleration of gravity.

SInce both pendulums are at the same place, "g" is the same for both, and when we compare the two periods, we get:

T_1=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{4}{g} } \\T_2=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{16}{g} } \\ \\\frac{T_2}{T_1} =\sqrt{\frac{16}{4} } =2

therefore the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum.

Who water rocket starts from rest and roses straight up with an acceleration of 5 m/s until it runs out of water 2.5 seconds lat
Kitty [74]

Answer:

23. 4375 m

Explanation:

There are two parts of the rocket's motion

1 ) accelerating  (assume it goes upto  h1 height )

using motion equations upwards

s = ut+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} \\h_1=0+\frac{1}{2}*5*2.5^{2} \\=15.625 m

Lets find the velocity after 2.5 seconds (V1)

V = U +at

V1 = 0 +5*2.5 = 12.5 m/s  

2) motion under gravity (assume it goes upto  h2 height )

now there no acceleration from the rocket. it is now subjected to the gravity

using motion equations upwards (assuming g= 10m/s² downwards)

V²= U² +2as

0 = 12.5²+2*(-10)*h2

h2 = 7.8125 m

maximum height = h1 + h2

                            = 15.625 + 7.8125

                            = 23. 4375 m

What is the difference between a low tide and a high tide
Savatey [412]
A high tide means when the water has risen and is higher up(closer to high up land). Low tide is when it’s receded
