The original frequency of horn of Car A is 1071 Hz.

Explanation:

Doppler effect describes the change in the frequency of sound waves with respect to the observer. As the sound waves emitted from a source need to travel the air medium to reach observer, it will undergo loss in energy. So there will be change in its frequency compared to original frequency. Depending upon the direction of travel of source and observer the shifting of frequency will vary.

$f'=\frac{v-v_{o} }{v-v_{s} } f$

Here vo is the observer velocity and vs is the velocity of the source. So Vo = 15 m/s as car B is the observer and Vs = 35 m/s as car A is the source. And f is the frequency of sound wave at source that is car A.

Similarly, the doppler shift in frequency is the frequency of sound heard by car B which is f' = 1140 Hz. And v is the speed of sound that is v = 343 m/s

1140 = $\frac{343-15}{343-35}*f= 1.0649 *f$

f = 1140/1.0649= 1071 Hz.

Thus, the original frequency of horn of Car A is 1071 Hz.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

y = 0.0233 m

Explanation:

In a Young's Double Slit Experiment the distance between two consecutive bright fringes is given by the formula:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = distance between fringes

λ = wavelength of light

L = Distance between screen and slits

d = Slit Separation

Now, for initial case:

λ = 425 nm = 4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m

y = 2Δx = 0.0177 m => Δx = 8.85 x 10⁻³ m

Therefore,

8.85 x 10⁻³ m = (4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)L/d

L/d = (8.85 x 10⁻³ m)/(4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)

L/d = 2.08 x 10⁴

using this for λ = 560 nm = 5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m:

Δx = (5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m)(2.08 x 10⁴)

Δx = 0.0116 m

and,

y = 2Δx

y = (2)(0.0116 m)

The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

Answer: The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground. The reason is as follows:

Reasoning:

The power lines are parallel to the ground hence, their electric field will be perpendicular to the ground and equipotential surface will be cylindrical.

Hence, if you will put fluorescent tube parallel to the ground then both the ends of the tube will lie on the same equipotential surface and the potential difference will be zero.

So, to maximize the potential the ends of the tube must be on different equipotential surfaces. The surface which is near to the power line has high potential value and the surface which is farther from the line has lower potential value.

hence, to maximize the potential difference, the tube must be placed perpendicular to the ground.

T - Wt || - Ff = m(0)

mg - Μgsinθ - μΜgcosθ = 0

m(9.8) - 13sin35 - 0.36(13)cos35 = 0

m = 13(sin35 + 0.36cos35) / 9.8

m = 1.15205... ≈ 1.2 kg
