<span>You are given two cars, one in front of the other, that are traveling down the highway at 25 m/s. You are also given a frequency of 500 Hz of the car travelling behind it. You are asked what is the frequency heard by the driver of the lead car. This problem can be solved using the Doppler effect

sound frequency heard by the lead car = [(speed of sound + lead car velocity)/( speed of sound + behind car velocity)] * (sound of frequency of the behind car)
</span>sound frequency heard by the lead car = [(340 m/s + 25 m/s)/(340 m/s - 25 m/s)] * (500 Hz)
sound frequency heard by the lead car = 579 Hz

An elevator has a mass of 1000 Kg. What force is needed to accelerate it upward at a rate of 2 m/s/s?
zubka84 [21]

The force needed to accelerate an elevator upward at a rate of 2 m / s^{2} is 2000 N or 2 kN.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As per Newton's second law of motion, an object's acceleration is directly proportional to the external unbalanced force acting on it and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

As the object given here is an elevator with mass 1000 kg and the acceleration is given as 2 m / s^{2}, the force needed to accelerate it can be obtained by taking the product of mass and acceleration.

                  \text {Force}=\text {Mass} \times \text {Acceleration}

                  \text { Force }=1000 \times 2=2000 \mathrm{N}=2 \text { kilo Newon }

So 2000 N or 2 kN amount of force is needed to accelerate the elevator upward at a rate of 2 m / s^{2}.

The element selenium (Se) bonds with chlorine (Cl) to make the formula SeCl2 Chlorine is more electronegative than selenium. Wha
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Selenium dichloride

Explanation:

Selenium (Se) and Chlorine (Cl) are both elements capable of combining together to form a compound with the chemical formula; SeCl2. Since the chlorine atom is more electronegative than selenium atom, the chlorine pulls more electrons towards itself to form an IONIC bond.

The SeCl2 compound formed is called Selenium dichloride as two atoms of Chlorine are needed to combine with one atom of Selenium to form the compound.

a college student produces about 100 kcal of heat per hour on the average what is the rate of energy production and joules
Bond [772]

Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\  \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h

Pascal's Principle states that (a) If we apply pressure to a fluid in a sealed container, the pressure will be felt undiminished
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

a) If we apply pressure to a fluid in a sealed container, the pressure will be felt undiminished at every point in the fluid and on the walls of the container.

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area(A2) of the piston.

P=F/A

P1=P2

F1/ A1= F2/ A2

F2= F1* A2/ A1

The pressure acting on one side is transmitted to all the molecules of the liquid because the liquid is incompressible.

In an incompressible liquid, the volume and amount of mass does not vary when pressure is applied.
