A car approaches you at a constant speed, sounding its horn, and you hear a frequency of 76 Hz. After the car goes by, you hear

a frequency of 65 Hz. What is the frequency of the sound emitted by the horn

Answer:

70.07 Hz

Explanation:

Since the sound is moving away from the observer then

f_o = f_s\frac {(v+vs)}{v} and f_o = f_s\frac {(v-vs)}{v} when moving towards observer

With f_o of 76 then taking speed in air as 343 m/s we have

76 = f_s\times\frac {(343-vs)}{343}

f_s=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}

Similarly, with f_o of 65 we have

65 = f_s\times\frac {(343+vs)}{343}\\f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}

Now

f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}

v_s=27.76 m/s

Substituting the above into  any of the first two equations then we obtain

f_s=70.07 Hz

Railroad cars are loosely coupled so that there is a noticeable time delay from the time the first and last car is moved from re
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).

What is the wavelength (in air) of a 13.0 khz vlf radio wave?
bonufazy [111]
Since,
Speed = Frequency * WaveLength

=> WaveLength = Speed / Frequency --- (A)

Frequency = 13.0 kHz.
As the radio waves are electromagnetic waves, their speed is equals to the speed of light. Therefore,
Speed = C = 3 *  10^{8}  m/ s^{2}

Plug in the values in equation(A):

A => WaveLength = \frac{3 * 10^{8}}{13*10^{3}}

Ans: Wavelength = 23.077 kilometers.

A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible (free body diagram)
timofeeve [1]

In a free body diagram for an object projected upwards;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards.
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

An object projected upwards is subjected to influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object accelerates upwards, its velocity decreases until the object reaches maximum height where its velocity becomes zero and as the object descends its velocity increases, which eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

To construct a free body diagram for this motion, we consider the following;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

<u>For instance:</u>

upward motion for velocity  ↑        downward motion for velocity  ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

acceleration due to gravity ↓

                                             ↓

                                             ↓

If a 6V battery is connected to a light bulb whose resistance is 55,000Ω How much current will flow in the circuit?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.000109 Amps

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 6V

Resistance = 55,000 Ohms

To find the current flowing through the circuit;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

V = IR

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Making current the subject of formula, we have;

I = \frac {V}{R}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

I = \frac {6}{55000}

Current, I = 0.000109 Amps
