A woman stands at rest in front of a large, smooth wall. She holds a vibrating tuning fork of frequency Initial: fo directly in

front of her (between her and the wall).
(a) The woman now runs toward the wall with speed Pw, She detects beats due to the interference between the sound waves reaching her directly from the fork

Note: If the beat frequency is too large, the woman may have to use some instrumentation other than her e reaching her after being reflected from the wall. How many beats per second will she detect?

Answer:

(a) f_{o}*\frac{2P_{w} }{v - P_{w} }

(b) f_{o}*\frac{2P_{w} }{v + P_{w} }

Explanation:

(a) In the given problem, the turning fork has a frequency of f_{o}. Then, a woman runs toward the wall with a speed of P_{w}. From the principle of light reflection, the reflection of the sound from the fork reach the woman at a speed of v. Thus, the beat frequency is:

f_{o}*\frac{2P_{w} }{v - P_{w} }

(b) In this part, the woman moves away from the water which is in contrast to part (a). Thus the beat frequency is:

f_{o}*\frac{2P_{w} }{v + P_{w} }

1) The mass of the continent is 2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 274.8 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 2.76 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The continent is a slab of side 5900 km (so the surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth 26 km, therefore its volume is:

V=(36)(4600)^2=7.62\cdot 10^8 km^3 = 7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3

The mass of the continent is given by

m=\rho V

where:

\rho = 2790 kg/m^3 is its density

V=7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3 is its volume

Substituting, we find the mass:

m=(2790)(7.62\cdot 10^{17})=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg

2)

To find the kinetic energy, we need to convert the speed of the continent into m/s first.

The speed is

v = 1.6 cm/year

And we have:

1.6 cm = 0.016 m

1 year = (365)(24)(60)(60)=3.15\cdot 10^7 s

So, the speed is

v=\frac{0.016 m}{3.15 \cdot 10^7 s}=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s

Now we can find the kinetic energy of the continent, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg is the mass

v=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s is the speed

Substituting,

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.13\cdot 10^{21})(5.08\cdot 10^{-10})^2=274.8 J

3)

The jogger in this part has the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

K = 274.8 J

And its mass is

m = 72 kg

We can write his kinetic energy as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the speed of the man

And solving the equation for v, we find his speed:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(274.8)}{72}}=2.76 m/s

Explain the role of energy in changes <br> of state.
slava [35]
A liquid requires enthalpy of vaporization to transform into vapor or gas at its boiling point.  Here the element absorbs heat from surroundings or heat source.

This energy is used in breaking the forces of attraction among the atoms and molecules of the element. The molecules get separated to higher distances. The energy is converted in to the kinetic energy of the molecules in gaseous form and into the internal energy in terms of the temperature of the gas.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The soda is being sucket out at a rate of 3.14 cubic inches/second.

Explanation:

R= 2in

S= π*R²= 12.56 inch²

rate= 0.25 in/sec

rate of soda sucked out= rate* S

rate of soda sucked out=  3.14 inch³/sec
