Two truckers are traveling directly away from each other at the same speed. If one trucker sounds her horn at a frequency of 221

Hz, and the other trucker hears a frequency of 210 Hz, determine the speed of the trucks. Use the speed of sound as 343 m/s.

Answer:

v = 8.8 m /s

Explanation:

For listener and source going away from each other the formula of Doppler effect is as follows

\frac{f}{f_0} = \frac{V-v}{V+v}

V is velocity of sound , v is velocity of listner and source of sound

f₀ is apparent frequency and f is real frequency

V = 343 , v = ? ,f = 210 , f₀ = 221

Put these value in the relation above

[tex]\frac{210}{221} = \frac{343-v}{343+v}[/tex]

v = 8.8 m /s

Which type of thermal energy transfer does a wrapping of cotton or plastic reduce the most, conduction, convection, radiation, t
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: Thermal Energy is energy resulting from the motion of particles; It is a form of kinetic energy and is transferred as heat; Thermal Energy Transfer can occur by three methods: Conduction; Convection; Radiation; Conduction. Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between . particles of a substance.

Light propagate faster through medium “a” than medium “b”
dangina [55]

1) Medium "b" has more optical density

2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly

Explanation:

1)

Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.

The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in a medium

Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.

In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.

2)

We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1, n_2 are the index of refraction of the two mediums

\theta_1, \theta_2 are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)

Here we want the direction of propagation of the light ray not to change: this means that it must be

sin \theta_1 = sin \theta_2 (1)

However, here we have two mediums "a" and "b" with different index of refraction, so

n_1\neq n_2

Therefore the only angle that can satisfy eq.(1) is

\theta_1 = \theta_2 = 0

So, the light must hit the surface perpendicular to the interface between the two mediums.

Can a particle with constant speed be accelarating?<br>what if it has constant velocity?​
Olin [163]

Explanation:

it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating. It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing.

When an object is moving with constant velocity, it does not change direction nor speed and therefore is represented as a straight line when graphed as distance over time.

What is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds <br>​
Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

The relation between wave period and frequency is as follows.

T = \frac{1}{f}T=

f

1

where, T = time period

f = frequency

It is given that wave period is 18 seconds. Therefore, calculate the wave period as follows.

T = \frac{1}{f}T=

f

1

or, f = \frac{1}{T}f=

T

1

= \frac{1}{18 sec}

18sec

1

= 0.055 per second (1cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

or, f = 5.5 \times 10^{-2} hertz5.5×10 −2 hertz

<h3>Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 \times 10^{-2} hertz5.5×10 −2 hertz .</h3>
