Answer: 4nmeter

Explanation: The two observer a and b will measure the same wavelength since the speed of the space craft is very small compared with the speed of light c. That is

V which is the speed of space craft 15000km/s = 15000000m/s

Comparing this with the speed of light c 3*EXP(8)m/s we have

15000000/300000000

= 0.05=0.1

Therefore the speed of the space craft V in terms of the speed of light c is 0.1c special relativity does not apply to object moving at such speed. So the wavelength would not be contracted it will remain same for both observers.

Answer:of

Astronomers living on planets a measure λO = 3.80_nm

Astronomers living on planets b measure λO = 4.2_nm

Explanation:

Astronomers living on planets a measure λO = 3.80_nm

Astronomers living on planets b measure λO = 4.2_nm

a.) Speed of the radio wave

c = 299792458 m/s.

λO = λS(c − vS)/(c − vO)

λO = observed wavelength

λS = source constant wavelength = 4 nm

c = wavefront constant velocity = 299792458 m/s

vS = velocity of the source = 15000 km/s

vO = velocity of the observer 0

Un tren emplea cierto tiempo en recorrer 240 km. Si la velocidad hubiera sido 20 km por hora mas que la que llevaba hubiera tard
podryga [215]

Answer:

A train takes some time to travel 240 km. If the speed had been 20 km per hour more than the one it was carrying, it would have taken 2 hours less to travel this distance. In what time did he cover the 240 km

Explanation:

Given that,

A train travelled a distance of 240km

Let the initial speed be

S_1 = x km/hr

Let assume the time spent on the first journey is

t_1 = a

Now if he increase the speed to

S_2 = (x + 20) km/hr

Then, he would have take 2hrs less time

Then, time t_2 = a - 2

The common data fore the two journey is the distance

Speed = distance / time

For the first stage

S_1 = d / t_1

d = S_1 × a

d = x × a

240 = x•a

x = 240 / a Equation 1

For stage two

d = S_2 × t_2

d = (x+20) × (a - 2)

240 = (x+20) × (a - 2). Equation 2

Substitute equation 1 into 2

240 = (240/a + 20) × (a -2)

240 = 240 - 480/a + 20a - 40

240 - 240 + 40 = - 480/a + 20a

240 - 240 + 40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40a = -480 + 20a²

20a² - 40a -480 = 0

Divided through by 20

a² - 2a - 24 = 0

a² + 4a - 6a - 24 = 0

a(a+4) -6(a+4) = 0

(a-6)(a+4) = 0

(a-6) = 0 or (a+4) = 0

So, a = 6 or a = -4

The time cannot be negative, then, the time is a = 6hours

So, t_1 = a = 6hours,

So, the time used in the first journey is 6hours

So, in the second journey the time use is 2hours less than the first journey

Then, t_2 = 6 - 2 = 4 hours

t_1 = 6 hours

t_2 = 4 hours

Spanish

Un tren recorrió una distancia de 240 km.

Deje que la velocidad inicial sea

S_1 = x km / h

Supongamos que el tiempo dedicado al primer viaje es

t_1 = a

Ahora si aumenta la velocidad a

S_2 = (x + 20) km / h

Entonces, habría tomado 2 horas menos de tiempo

Entonces, el tiempo t_2 = a - 2

Los datos comunes para los dos viajes son la distancia.

Velocidad = distancia / tiempo

Para la primera etapa

S_1 = d / t_1

d = S_1 × a

d = x × a

240 = x • a

x = 240 / a Ecuación 1

Para la etapa dos

d = S_2 × t_2

d = (x + 20) × (a - 2)

240 = (x + 20) × (a - 2). Ecuación 2

Sustituye la ecuación 1 en 2

240 = (240 / a + 20) × (a -2)

240 = 240 - 480 / a + 20a - 40

240 - 240 + 40 = - 480 / a + 20a

240 - 240 + 40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40a = -480 + 20a²

20a² - 40a -480 = 0

Dividido entre 20

a² - 2a - 24 = 0

a² + 4a - 6a - 24 = 0

a (a + 4) -6 (a + 4) = 0

(a-6) (a + 4) = 0

(a-6) = 0 o (a + 4) = 0

Entonces, a = 6 o a = -4

El tiempo no puede ser negativo, entonces, el tiempo es a = 6 horas

Entonces, t_1 = a = 6 horas,

Entonces, el tiempo utilizado en el primer viaje es de 6 horas

Entonces, en el segundo viaje, el uso del tiempo es 2 horas menos que el primer viaje

Entonces, t_2 = 6 - 2 = 4 horas

t_1 = 6 horas

t_2 = 4 horas

The units we use to measure the sound intensity level are _____.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

decibels (dB)

Explanation:

The sound intensity level is a quantity derived from the sound intensity.

The intensity of a wave is defined as the power of the source of the wave divided by the area through which the power of the wave is spread, mathematically:

I=\frac{P}{A}

where

P is the power of the source

A=4\pi r^2 is the surface area over which the wave spreads (assuming that the wave propagates in all directions, it corresponds to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where r is the distance between the source of the wave and the observer)

For sound waves, the intensity is often expressed using another unit, called decibel (dB), defined as follows:

\beta(dB)=10Log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_0})

where

\beta is the sound intensity level in decibels

I is the intensity of the sound wave

I_0=1\cdot 10^{-12} W/m^2 is the threshold intensity of a sound that a person can normally hear.

Which statement describes the reason for the change in the velocity of waves as temperature decreases?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

O The particles of the medium move more slowly and there are fewer chances to transfer energy.

Explanation:

Various media are made up of particles. These particles are in constant motion according to the kinetic theory of matter. Recall that temperature has been defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a medium. Hence, for any given medium, the velocity of particle motion increases or decreases linearly with temperature.

The speed of particles in any medium increases or decreases as the temperature of the medium increases or decreases as emphasised above. Hence, at low temperature, the velocity of waves set up by the motion of particles in a medium decreases and transfer the wave energy to neighbouring particles occurs more slowly than at high temperatures.
