A baseball hits a car, breaking its window and triggering its alarm which sounds at a frequency of 1210 Hz. What frequency (in H

z) is heard by a boy on a bicycle riding away from the car at 8.25 m/s? Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.

Answer:

The frequency of sound heard by the boy is 1181 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of sound from alarm $f_{0} = 1210\ Hz$

Speed = -8.25 m/s

Negative sign show the boy riding away from the car

Speed of sound = 343

We need to calculate the heard frequency

Using formula of frequency

$f = f_{0}(\dfrac{v+v_{0}}{v-v_{s}})$

Where, $f_{0}$ = frequency of source

$v_{0}$ = speed of observer

$v_{s}$ = speed of source

$v$ = speed of sound

Put the value into the formula

$f=1210\times\dfrac{343+(-8.25)}{343-0}$

here, source is at rest

$f=1180.8\ Hz$

$f=1181\ Hz$

Hence, The frequency of sound heard by the boy is 1181 Hz.

Gold has a specific heat of 0.130 J/g*C. If 195 joules of heat are added to 15 grams of gold how much does the temperature of th

Anna71 [15]

The correct answer to the question is : $100\ ^0C$

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the specific heat of gold is given as c = $0.130\ J/g^0C$

The heat given to the gold dQ = 195 J

The mass of the gold is given as m = 15 gram.

We are asked to calculate the change in temperature.

Let the change in temperature is dT.

We know that dQ = mcdT

$dT=\ \frac{dQ}{mc}$

$=\ \frac{195}{15\times 0.130}$

$=\ 100\ ^0C$ [ANS]

Hence, the change in temperature is 100 degree celsius.

Suppose you exert 150 n on your refrigerator and push it across the kitchen floor at constant velocity. what friction force acts

Pachacha [2.7K]

Due that the velocity is constant that means that friction force is equal to the force exert by you, otherwise the refrigerator will accelerate or decelerate and in both cases velocity will not be constant.
So then the friction force between refrigerator and floor is 150 Newtons.

horrorfan [7]

The number we need in order to answer the question belongs in the space between the words "is" and "of". You left that blank blank, so there really isn't any question here to answer.

HOWEVER ... the refractive index of a medium can never be less than 1.0 , so we know for sure that <em>choice-a can't be</em> the correct answer.

Here is the full question

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the disk of the galaxy, about how far (on average) would it be to the nearest civilization?

(Hint: Start by finding the area of the Milky Way's disk, assuming that it is circular and 100,000 light-years in diameter. Then find the average area per civilization, and use the distance across this area to estimate the distance between civilizations.)

Answer:

1000 light-years (ly)

Explanation:

If we go by the hint; The area of the disk can be expressed as:

$A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2$

where D = 100, 000 ly

Let's divide the Area by the number of civilization; if we do that ; we will be able to get 'n' disk that is randomly distributed; so ;

$d= \frac{A}{N} =\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$

The distance between each disk is further calculated by finding the radius of the density which is shown as follows:

$d = \pi r^2 e$

$r^2_e= \frac{d}{\pi}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{d}{\pi} }$

replacing d = $\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$ in the equation above; we have:

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}{\pi} }$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{100,000}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = 500 ly$

The distance (s) between each civilization = $2(r_e)$

= 2 (500 ly)

= 1000 light-years (ly)
