Whenever you watch a high-flying aircraft overhead, it seems that its sound comes from behind the craft rather than from where y

ou see it. Why is this?

Answer:

It takes more time for sound to travel to location, thus one "hear" aircraft at  one of the previous positions. Since light travels at much much speed, the plane is seen at its current position.

Explanation:

The speed of the sound in air = 344 m/s

The speed of the light in air = 3×10⁸  m/s

Since the speed of the light is way more than the speed of the sound in air and this when a high flying aircraft is being watched overhead , the person first sees the aircraft because the speed of light is much faster and <u>the sound of the aircraft come from behind the craft rather than from it is being seen because the speed of sound is very less as compared to that of light.</u>

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1200 kg, which is required to travel upward 54 m in
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The average power is calculated as 735.0 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Total mass, M = 1200 kg

Counter mass of the elevator, m = 950

Distance traveled by the elevator, d = 54 m

Time taken, t = 3 min = 180 s

Now,

To calculate the average power:

First, we find the force needed for lifting the weight:

Force, F = (M - m)g = (1200 - 950)\times 9.8 = 2450 N

Now, the work done by this force:

W = Fd = 2450\times 54 = 132300\ J = 132.3\ kJ

Average power is given as:

P_{avg} = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{132300}{180} = 735.0\ W

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe
lana [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately

An Ethernet cable is 4.00m long. The cable has a mass of 0.200kg . A transverse pulse is produced by plucking one end of the tau
Mashcka [7]

Based on the length of the Ethernet cable and the mass, the tension in the cable can be found to be 80 N.

<h3>How much tension is in the cable?</h3>

The tension in the cable can be found as:

= 4 x mass x length x frequency

Solving for the frequency is:

= 1 / (0.800 / 4)

= 1 / 0.20

= 5.0 Hz

The tension is therefore:

= 4 x 0.20 x 4.00 x 5

= 80N

Which describes an atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons?
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

negative ion

Explanation:

An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a negative ion.

The positively charged particles in an atom are the protons

The negatively charged particles in an atom are the electrons.

  The charge an atom carries depends on the balance between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

  • When the number of protons is more than the number of electrons, the atom is positively charged.
  • When the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the atom is negatively charged.
