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} }

There are Z protons in the nucleus of an atom, where Z is the atomic number of the element. An α particle carries a charge of +2
qaws [65]

Answer:

r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that the electrostatic potential energy of the charge system is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the alpha particle

So here we can write it as

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{k(2e)(ze)}{r}

now we know that

m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

z = 79

here kinetic energy of the incident alpha particle is given as

KE = 6.4 \times 10^{-13} J

now we have

6.4 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2(79)}{r}

now we have

r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m

A sample of gas in a syringe releases heat to its surroundings while the
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: b

Explanation:

When heat is released by the system i.e. system loses heat. So, we take it as negative -Q

When the work is done on the system then it is considered as negative work on the system i.e. -W  

In this case, the plunger is pulled out, and work is done on the system. So, we take work as negative work -W

Correct option is b

Is the earth's gravitational force on the sun larger than, smaller than, or equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth?
Leona [35]

Answer:

The earth's gravitational force on the sun is equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In other words, when two objects exert a force on each other, then the magnitude of the two forces is the same (while the directions are opposite).

In this problem, we can call the Sun as "object A" and the Earth as "object B". According to Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun is equal (in magnitude, and opposite in direction) to the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.
