Answer:

a) 30.82 m/s

b)  183.33 Hz

Explanation:

a)

V = speed of the sound = 339 m/s

v = speed of the train = ?

f' = observed frequency by the observer = 220 Hz

f = actual frequency of the observer = 200 Hz

using the equation

f' = \frac{fV}{V - v}

220 = \frac{(200)(339)}{339 - v}

v =  30.82 m/s

b)

V = speed of the sound = 339 m/s

v = speed of the train = 30.82 m/s

f'' = observed frequency by the observer as train moves away = ?

f = actual frequency of the observer = 200 Hz

using the equation

f'' = \frac{fV}{V + v}

f'' = \frac{(200)(339)}{339 + 30.82}

f'' = 183.33 Hz

You are standing a distance of 17.0 meters from the center of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round takes 9.50 seconds to go comp
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

(a)11.24 m/s

(b)7.44 m/s

(c)409 N

(d)539.55\mu

(e) 0

Explanation:

The period for 1 circle 2\pi of the merry go around is 9.5s. It means the angular speed is:

\omega = \theta / t = 2\pi / 9.5 \approx 0.661 rad/s

(a)The speed is

v = \omega * R = 0.661 * 17 = 11.24 m/s

(b) Centripetal acceleration:

a = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{11.24^2}{17} = 7.44 m/s^2

(c) Magnitude of the force that keeps you go around at this acceleration

F = ma = 55 * 7.44 = 409 N

(d) let the coefficient of friction by \mu. The frictional force shall be this coefficient multiplied by normal force reverting gravity of the man

F_f = mg\mu = 55*9.81\mu = 539.55\mu

1.) because then people can evacuate the area in the path<span> of the hurricane.
2.) </span><span>At higher altitudes, water vapor starts to condense into clouds and rain, releasing heat that warms the surrounding air, Which makes it rise as well. Warmer waters feed more energetic storms.
3.) </span> <span>A hurricane starts off as a series of thunderstorms which intensify as it moves over the warm and humid sea. The humidity is at a constant level and so it continues to grow over the sea. Any kind of decrease or increase in humidity can change the strength of a hurricane. 
4.) </span><span>Actually, tropical cyclones need weak winds. If the atmospheric winds are even remotely strong, they will act to cut back the system and prevent the convection from wrapping around the center.

2 ways in which the effects of friction can be minimised in the experiment​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Friction can be minimized by using lubricants like oil and grease and by using ball bearing between machine parts. A substance that is introduced between two surfaces in contact, to reduce friction, is called a lubricant. Fluid friction can be minimized by giving suitable shapes to the objects moving in the fluids.
