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

Convert 15 litre into cubic metre

atroni [7]

Answer:

0.015m^3

Explanation:

1 m^3 = 1000 liters

x m^3 = 15 liters

Cross multiply

xm^3 x 1000 l = 15 l

Divide both sides by 1000

xm^3 x1000/1000 = 15/1000

xm^3 = 0.015m^3

Therefore 15 liter = 0.015m^3

A ball bearing of radius of 1.5 mm made of iron of density

Serjik [45]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Viscosity \ of \ glycerine \ (\eta) = 14.382 \ poise}$

Given:

Radius of ball bearing (r) = 1.5 mm = 0.15 cm

Density of iron (ρ) = 7.85 g/cm³

Density of glycerine (σ) = 1.25 g/cm³

Terminal velocity (v) = 2.25 cm/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980.6 cm/s²

To Find:

Viscosity of glycerine ( $\sf \eta$ )

Explanation:

$\boxed{ \bold{v = \frac{2}{9} \frac{( {r}^{2} ( \rho - \sigma)g)}{ \eta} }}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \frac{( {r}^{2}( \rho - \sigma)g )}{v}$

Substituting values of r, ρ, σ, v & g in the equation:

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \frac{( {(0.15)}^{2} \times (7.85 - 1.25) \times 980.6)}{2.25}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \frac{(0.0225 \times 6.6 \times 980.6)}{2.25}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \times \frac{145.6191}{2.25}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \times 64.7196$

$\sf \implies \eta = 2 \times 7.191$

$\sf \implies \eta = 14.382 \: poise$

A photon detector captures a photon with an energy of 4.29 ✕ 10−19 J. What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the photon?

serious [3.7K]

Answer : The wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Explanation : Given,

Energy of photon = $4.29\times 10^{-19}J$

Formula used :

$E=h\times \nu$

As, $\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

So, $E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon = ?

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$4.29\times 10^{-19}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=4.63\times 10^{-7}m=4.63\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9nm=4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Conversion used : $1nm=10^{-9}m$

Therefore, the wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$
