Answer:

Ali hear the sound in 0.046 seconds.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance between Ali and Abdi =  300m

Speed of sound in steel = 6500m/s

To Find :

How much sooner does Ali hear the sound = ?

Solution:

We can find the time in which the sound made by Abdi with a stone on the rail by using the speed formula

We know that

Speed = \frac{Distance}{time}\\

On substituting the given values,

6500 = \frac{300}{time}\\

time = \frac{300}{6500}\\

time = \frac{300}{6500}\\

Time  = 0.046 seconds

32. (FR) A mass moving at 25 m/s slides along a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction is 0.30. (A) Use force and
scoray [572]

Answer:

A)s = 104.16 m

b)s= 104.16 m

Explanation:

Given that

u = 25 m/s

μ = 0.3

The friction force will act opposite to the direction of motion.

Fr= μ m g

Fr= -  m a

a=acceleration

μ m g = - m a

a= - μ g

a= - 0.3 x 10 m/s²          ( take g= 10 m/s²)

a= - 3  m/s²

The final speed of the mass is zero ,v= 0

We know that

v² = u² +2 a s

s=distance

0² = 25² - 2 x 3 x s

625 = 6 s

s = 104.16 m

By using energy conservation

Work done by all the forces =Change in the kinetic energy

- Fr.s=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

Negative sign because force act opposite to the displacement.

- \mu\ m\ g \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

-\mu\ g \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2-\dfrac{1}{2}u^2

-0.3\times 10\times \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 25^2

- 3 x 2 x s = - 625

s= 104.16 m

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.  

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature(T_i)=300 K

P_i=10 atm

P_f=2 atm

Work done in iso-thermal process=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}

P_i=initial pressure

P_f=Final Pressure

W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is=P\Delta V

V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L

V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L

\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J

\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J

\Delta U=0

A doppler effect occurs when a source of sound moves. True or False
Shtirlitz [24]
<h2>Answer: True </h2>

The <u>Doppler effect</u> refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.

In other words, it is the variation of the frequency of a wave due to the relative movement of the source of the wave with respect to its receiver.

It should be noted that this effect  bears its name in honor of the Austrian physicist <u>Christian Andreas Doppler</u>, who in 1842 proposed the existence of this effect for the case of light in the stars. Another important aspect is that the effect occurs in all waves (including light and sound). However, it is more noticeable to humans with sound waves.
