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

A soccer ball is traveling at a velocity of 50 m/s. The kinetic energy of the ball is 500 J. What is the mass of the soccer ball
Savatey [412]
A soccer ball is traveling at a velocity of 50 m/s. The kinetic energy of the ball is 500 J.The mass of the soccer ball is 0.4 kgs. This answer is derived from the formula K=1/2 MV^2.So velocity and kinetic energy are given from that mass of the ball is calculated.By substituting the values 500=1/2*M*50*50 which gives M=0.4 Kgs.<span>

A layer of oil (n = 1.38) floats on an unknown liquid. A ray of light originates in the oil and passes into the unknown liquid.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 65.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( 53.0° )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (unknown liquid, n=?)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)

Hence,  

1.38\times {sin65.0^0}={n_r}\times{sin53.0^0}

Solving for {n_r},

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

Given the following specific heat capacities, which material was have the largest change in temperature if 10 grams of each subs
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

You could calculate it out by assuming the same starting temperature for each substance. (You have to assume that the substances do start at the same temperature anyway).

That's like shooting 12 with 2 dice. It can be done, but aiming for a more common number is a better idea.

Same with this question.

You should just develop a rule.  The rule will look like this

The greater the heat capacity the (higher or lower) the change in temperature.

The greater the heat capacity the lower the change in temperature

That's not your question. You want to know which substance will have the greatest temperature change given their heat capacities.

Answer

lead. It has the smallest heat capacity and therefore it's temperature change will be the greatest.

Plane-polarized light is incident on a single polarizing disk, withthe direction of E0 parallel to thedirection of the transmiss
Alenkinab [10]

Answer;

Cos²စ= I/Io

So

A. Cos²စ = 1/2.2

Cosစ= √1/2.2

စ = cos^-1 0.68

= 47.2°

B.

Cosစ = √1/5.2

စ = ,cos^-1 0.4385

= 64°

C.

Cosစ = √1/12

စ = cos^-1 0.2886

= 73.2°
