Answer:

The speed of the police car is 294 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the siren in air, f = 280 Hz

speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

Determine the wavelength of the sound in air to the stationary car:

v = fλ

where;

λ is wavelength of the sound

λ = v/f

λ = 343 / 280

λ = 1.225 m

Now, determine the speed at which the police car is approaching the stationary car;

The actual frequency of the police car, F = 240 Hz

V = Fλ

Where;

V is speed of the police car

λ is the distance between the police car and the stationary car, (wavelength)

V = 240 x 1.225

V = 294 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the police car is 294 m/s

A vector has an x-component of length 10 and a y-component of length 3. What is the angle of the vector? (Hint: Use the inverse
Sonja [21]
The vector, the x-component and the y-component form a rectangle triangle where the vector is the hypothenuse and the x and y components are the two sides.
Calling \alpha the angle between the vector and the horizontal direction (x), the two sides are related to \alpha by
\tan \alpha  =  \frac{v_y}{v_x}
where vy and vx are the two components on the y- and x-axis. Using vx=10 and vy=3 we find
\tan \alpha  =  \frac{3}{10} =0.3
And so the angle is
\alpha = \arctan (0.3)=16.7^{\circ}

Describe the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of thermal energy transfer and provide an example of each.
Nikitich [7]

The difference between conductors and insulators is because of electronic structure of atoms and molecules.

 

Anywhere we have free electrons, we have a hard conductor where free electrons help in conduction.

 

In electrolytes, charged Ions do conduction.

 

Dielectrics (or insulators) don't have free electrons current.

 

Free electrons mean, the electrons that are not related with a specific atom, they are allowed to move nearby the crystal lattice.

A circular coil of 185 turns has a radius of 1.60 cm. (a) Calculate the current that results in a magnetic dipole moment of magn
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

(a) the current in the coil is 12.03 A

(b) the maximum magnitude of the torque is 0.0854 N.m

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns, N = 185

radius of the coil, r = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

magnetic dipole moment, μ = 1.79 A·m²

Part (a) current in the coil

μ = NIA

Where;

I is the current in the coil

A is the of the coil = πr² = π(0.016)² = 0.000804 m²

I = μ / (NA)

I = 1.79 / (185 x 0.000804)

I = 1.79 / 0.14874

I = 12.03 A

Part (b) the maximum magnitude of the torque

τ = μB

Where;

τ is the maximum magnitude of the torque

B is the magnetic field strength = 47.7 mT

τ = 1.79 x 0.0477 = 0.0854 N.m
