What frequency is received by the ambulance after reflecting from a wall near the person watching the oncoming ambulance (as in

the previous problem). The ambulance is moving at 109 km/h and emitting a steady 821-Hz sound from its siren

Answer:

900.48925 Hz

979.9785 Hz

Explanation:

$v_a$ = Relative velocity of ambulance = $109\ km/h=\dfrac{109}{3.6}$

$v_w$ = Velocity of wall = 0

v = Velocity of sound in air = 343 m/s

From doppler effect we have

$f=f'\dfrac{v+v_w}{v-v_a}\\\Rightarrow f=821\dfrac{343+0}{343-\dfrac{109}{3.6}}\\\Rightarrow f=900.48925\ Hz$

The frequency of sound is 900.48925 Hz

When the wall acts like a source

$f=f'\dfrac{v+v_a}{v-v_w}\\\Rightarrow f=900.48925\dfrac{343+\dfrac{109}{3.6}}{343-0}\\\Rightarrow f=979.9785\ Hz$

The frequency of sound is 979.9785 Hz

What are gamma rays and what are its uses??<br>

sukhopar [10]

"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves. They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays. They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.

Being so short, they carry lots of energy. They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA. They're dangerous.

The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation. The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.

As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.

You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays. The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.

It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up. Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.

Jill can use a force of 12.0 N to lift a single box up 5.00 m. How many of these boxes must she lift it in a minute to use 60.0

Mama L [17]

Answer:

60 boxes

Explanation:

The work done by lifting a single box is equal to the force applied (the weight of the box) times the displacement of the box:

$W_1 = Fd=(12.0 N)(5.00 m)=60 J$

Power is related to the work done by the equation:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where W is the work done and t is the time. In this problem, we are told that the power used is P=60.0 W, while the time taken is t = 1 min = 60 s, so the total work done must be

$W=Pt=(60.0 W)(60 s)=3600 J$

Therefore, the number of boxes that she has to lift in order to use this power is the total work divided by the work done in lifting each box:

$N=\frac{W}{W_1}=\frac{3,600 J}{60 J}=60$

A 100 kg box is suspended from two ropes. The "left rope makes an angle of 20" degrees with the vertical, and the right rope mak

GarryVolchara [31]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 100 kg

Left rope makes an angle of 20 degrees with the vertical, and the right rope makes an angle of 40 degrees.

From the attached figure, the x and y component of forces is given by :

$T_{1x} =-T_1 cos (20)$

$T_{2x} = T_2 cos (40)$

$mg_x = 0$

$T_{1y} = T_1 sin (20)$

$T_{2y} = T_2 sin (40)$

$mg_y= -mg$

Let $R_x$ and $R_y$ is the resultant in x and y direction.

$R_x=-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0$

$R_y=T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-mg$

As the system is balanced the net force acting on it is 0. So,

$-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0=0$ .............(1)

$T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-100\times 9.8=0$ ..................(2)

On solving equation (1) and (2) we get:

$T_1=866.86\ N$ (tension on the left rope)

$T_2=1063.36\ N$ (tension on the right rope)

So, the tension on the right rope is 1063.36 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
