Answer: +1.77

Explanation:

Big dipper is the asterism made of seven bright stars in Ursa Major constellation. An asterism a pattern formed by joining the bright stars in the night sky. On the other hand, whole night sky is divided into 88 areas called constellations. These asterisms are used to identify the constellations.

The brightest star of the big dipper is Alioth which is the 32nd brightest star in the night sky. Its apparent magnitude is +1.77.

If you are driving 95 km????h along a straight road and you look to the side for 2.0 s, how far do you travel during this inatte

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

52.7 m

Explanation:

Given that

speed of the vehicle, v = 95 km/h

time of inattentiveness, t = 2 s

distance travelled, s = ?

Since we have the speed in km/h and the time in s, it would be best if we converted one of them to make sure we have all units in the same rank.

95 km/h = 95 * 1000/3600 m/s

95 km/h = 95000/3600 m/s

95 km/h = 26.38 m/s

Now, we use our derived speed in m/s

Speed of a moving vehicle is given by,

v = s/t, where

v = speed in m/s

s = distance travelled, in m

t = time spent, in s

if we make d the subject of formula by rearranging the equation, we have

s = v * t

distance travelled, s = 26.38 * 2

distance travelled, s = 52.7 m

therefore, during this inattentive period, 52.7 m was travelled.

A 50.0 Watt stereo emits sound waves isotropically at a wavelength of 0.700 meters. This stereo is stationary, but a person in a

Answer:

a) f' = 432 Hz

b) I = 8.12*10^-4 W/m^2

Explanation:

a) To calculate the frequency of sound waves that car receives, you take into account the Doppler effect. In this case (observer moves away of the source) you have the following formula:

$f'=f(\frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s})$ (1)

where

f: frequency of the source = ?

v: speed of sound = 343 m/s

vo: speed of the observer = 40.0 m/s

vs: speed of the source = 0 m/s (stationary)

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

To calculate f' you first calculate the frequency of the sound wave, by using the following formula:

$v=\lambda f\\\\$

v: speed of sound

λ: wavelength = 0.700 m

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{343m/s}{0.700m}=480Hz$

Next, you replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$f'=(490Hz)(\frac{343m/s-40.0m/s}{343m/s})=432Hz$

hence, the frequency perceived by the car is 432 Hz

b) To calculate the power of the sound wave, when the car is 70.0 maway from the speaker, you use the following formula:

$I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

P: power of the source = 50.0 W

r: distance to the source = 70.0 m

$I=\frac{50.0 W}{4\pi(70.0m)^2}=8.12*10^{-4}\frac{W}{m^2}$

hence, the intensity is 8.12*10^⁻4 W/m^2

k0ka [10]

<span>3.36x10^5 Pascals The ideal gas law is PV=nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles of gas particles R = Ideal gas constant T = Absolute temperature Since n and R will remain constant, let's divide both sides of the equation by T, getting PV=nRT PV/T=nR Since the initial value of PV/T will be equal to the final value of PV/T let's set them equal to each other with the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 where P1, V1, T1 = Initial pressure, volume, temperature P2, V2, T2 = Final pressure, volume, temperature Now convert the temperatures to absolute temperature by adding 273.15 to both of them. T1 = 27 + 273.15 = 300.15 T2 = 157 + 273.15 = 430.15 Substitute the known values into the equation 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48/430.15 And solve for P2 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48/430.15 430.15 * 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48 64522500*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48 48391875/300.15 = P2*0.48 161225.6372 = P2*0.48 161225.6372/0.48 = P2 335886.7441 = P2 Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 3.36x10^5 Pascals. (technically, I should round to 2 significant figures for the result of 3.4x10^5 Pascals, but given the precision of the volumes, I suspect that the extra 0 in the initial pressure was accidentally omitted. It should have been 1.50e5 instead of 1.5e5).</span>
