A woman drops a vibrating tuning fork, which is vibrating at 513 Hertz, from a tall building. Through what distance (in m) has t

he tuning fork fallen when the frequency detected at the starting point is 489 Hertz? (Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.)

Answer:

h = 15.34 m

Explanation:

given,

tuning fork vibration = 513 Hz

speed of sound = 343 m/s

frequency after deflection = 489 Hz

the source (the fork) moves away from the observer, its speed increases and hence the apparent frequency decreases

f_{apparent} = \dfrac{v}{v+u}f_0

489 = \dfrac{343}{343+u}\times 513

0.953 = \dfrac{343}{343+u}

343+u = \dfrac{343}{0.953}

343+u = 359.92

u = 16.92 m/s

height of the building

v² = u² + 2 g s

16.92² = 2 x 9.8 x h

h = 14.61 m

time taken by sound to reach observer

t = \dfrac{14.61}{343}

t =0.0426\ s

in this time tuning fork has fallen one more now,

h' = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

h' = 16.92\times 0.0426 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times 0.0426^2

h' = 0.7296 m = 0.73 m

total distance

      h = 14.61 + 0.73

      h = 15.34 m

Plz help me! <br><br> How do electromagnetic fields work?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Electromagnetic field, a property of space caused by the motion of an electric charge. A stationary charge will produce only an electric field in the surrounding space. If the charge is moving, a magnetic field is also produced. An electric field can be produced also by a changing magnetic field.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

the north end to the south end.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Magnetic field lines from a bar magnet form lines that are closed. The direction of magnetic field is taken to be outward from the North pole of the magnet and in to the South pole of the magnet.
  • A magnetic field refers to  the area surrounding a magnet where a force is exerted on certain objects. These lines are spread out of the north end of the magnet.
  • The magnetic field lines resemble a bubble.

Shalnov [3]
Speed uses distance and velocity uses displacement in its calculation.

For 100 m race, distance = displacement. Hence speed = velocity

For 400m race, distance ≠ displacement. distance = 400m whereas displacement = 0m. Hence speed ≠ velocity

Which one of the following energy conversion devices has the lowest energy efficiency?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

A) incandescent ligth bulb, its efficiency is about 10%

Explanation:

The incandescent bulb, that is, the well-known focus with its warm light, was one of the most useful inventions of the 19th century although its use is currently considered very inefficient. These lamps waste between 80 and 90 percent of the total electricity they consume by turning it into heat. The metal filament thus heated and which is the central part of the bulb, only converts the remaining energy into light. Its service life ranges from 750 to 1,000 hours.

This is why they are used in ovens for food preparation, because of the large amount of heat they generate.

The steam boiler in a power plant depends on the fuel that it is using, but a coal-fired power plant with modern technology its efficiency is about 40%

Electric motor are around 85-92%

In order to better understand the concept of efficiency it is as if we pay 100 dollars of gasoline for our weekly use, but of that 100 dollars the car only uses 10 dollars to do that activity the rest of the money the 90 dollars were lost because of the inefficiencies of the vehicle.
