Answer: The correct answer is "the speed of the wave becomes four times".

Explanation:

The relation between the speed, frequency and the wavelength is as follows:

v=f\lambda

Here, v is the speed of the wave, f is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelength.

The speed of the sound wave is directly proportional to the frequency.

In the given problem, if the speed of the sound wave is increased four times then the speed of the sound becomes four times.

Therefore, the speed of the sound wave becomes four times.

Assume (unrealistically) that a TV station acts as a point source broadcasting isotropically at 3.2 MW. What is the intensity of

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$I=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2$

Explanation:

The intensity is related to the power and surface area by $I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$ . We need to calculate the surface area of a sphere of radius r=4.3ly.

Since 4.3ly is the distance light travels in 4.3 years at 299792458m/s, we can obtain it in meters by doing:

$r=vt=(299792458m/s)(4.3\times365\times24\times60\times60s)=4.1\times10^{16}m$

So we have:

$I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}=\frac{3.2\times10^6W}{4\pi (4.1\times10^{16}m)^2}=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2$

Car A has a mass of 1,200 kg and is traveling at a rate of 22 km/hr. It collides with car B. Car B has a mass of 1,900 kg and is

anastassius [24]

The car A has a mass of 1200 kg.

The car B has the mass of 1900 kg.

It is given that velocity of car A is given as 22 Km/hr

The car B has the velocity of 25 Km/hr.

Let the mass of two bodies are denoted as $m_{1} \ and\ m_{2}$

Let the velocity of cars A and B are denoted as $v_{1} \ and\ v_{2}$

The momentum before collision is-

$p_{i} =m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2} v_{2}$

[Here p stand for momentum.]

We are asked to calculate the final momentum of the system after collision.

The answer of the question is based law of conservation of linear momentum.

As per law of conservation of linear momentum the sum total linear momentum for an isolated system is always constant.Hence irrespective of the type of collision[elastic and inelastic],the momentum of the system is always constant which is a universal truth.

Let after the collision the velocity of A and B are $v'_{1} \ and\ v'_{2}$

Hence the final momentum of the system is-

$p_{f} = m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}$

As per the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial and final momentum must be equal i.e

$p_{i} =p_{f}$

$m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2}v_{2} =m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}$

Hence the option A is right.

When making a turn, do not have the steering wheel turned in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver.a)

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

a) True.

Explanation:

If you turn the wheel in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver then it's possible that there might be not enough space available for turning and also if you are waiting for the traffic to get clear with rear ended then it will get pushed forward onto the coming traffic.

In a real world trampoline, how do gymnasts keep a constant bounce height

kkurt [141]

By using common factors of physics: weight, gravity, and stability.
Weight would keep them at a constant height.
Gravity helps the weight and how much force it propels the person, or objects, into the air.
Stability helps adjust how much distance the person, or object, needs to be.
