Luda [366]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}

Explanation:

Given:

initial \:  velocity \:  (u) = 0 \\  \\ Final  \: Velocity \:  (v) = 72 km /h   \\  \\ Time \:  (t) = 5 \:  hours \\  \\ Acceleration \:  (a) =?  \\  \\  \because \: a =  \frac{v - u}{t}  \\  \\  \therefore \: a =  \frac{72 - 0}{5}  \\  \\ a =  \frac{72}{5}  \\  \\ a = 14.5 \: km {h}^{ - 2}  \\  \\ a =  \frac{14.5 \times 1000}{3600\times 3600} \: m {s}^{ - 2}   \\  \\ a = 0.00111882716 \\  \\ a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}

Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect? A water bug on the surface of a pond is producing small ripples in t
noname [10]

Answer:

A police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase.

Explanation:

In Physics, Doppler effect can be defined as the change in frequency of a wave with respect to an observer in motion and moving relative to the source of the wave.

Simply stated, Doppler effect is the change in wave frequency as a result of the relative motion existing between a wave source and its observer.

The term "Doppler effect" was named after an Austrian mathematician and physicist known as Christian Johann Doppler while studying the starlight in relation to the movement of stars.

<em>The phenomenon of Doppler effects is generally applicable to both sound and light. </em>

An example of the Doppler effect is a police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase. This is so because when a sound object moves towards you, its sound waves frequency increases, thereby causing a higher pitch. However, if the sound object is moving away from the observer, it's sound waves frequency decreases and thus resulting in a lower pitch.

<em>Other fields were the Doppler effects are applied are; astronomy, flow management, vibration measurement, radars, satellite communications etc. </em>

Use Poiseuille's Law to calculate the rate of flow in a small human artery where we can take η = 0.028, R = 0.008 cm, l = 2 cm,
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1.435 x 10^-4 cm^3/s

Explanation:

coefficient of viscosity, η = 0.028 poise

Radius, R = 0.008 cm

length, l = 2 cm

Pressure, P = 5000 dyne/cm^2

The Poiseuille's formula is given below

V=\frac{\pi PR^{4}}{8\eta l}

Where, V is the rate of flow, that means volume flowing per second

V=\frac{3.14\times5000 \times {0.008}^{4}}{8 \times 0.028 \times 2}

V = 1.435 x 10^-4 cm^3/s

Thus, the rate of flow is 1.435 x 10^-4 cm^3/s.

A bicycle traveled 150 meters west from point A to point B. Then it took the same route and came back to point A. It took a tota
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer

D. The average speed is 2.5 meters/second, and the average velocity is 0 meters/second.

The difference between speed and velocity is that, speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity.

Average speed = total distance/Total time

                          = (150 + 150) / (2×60)

                          = 300/120

                           = 2.5 m/s

Average velocity = Total displacement/ Total time

                             = (150 + -150) / (2 × 60)

                            = 0/120

                            = 0 m/s
