Answer:

0.85 c

Explanation:

When the two travel at right angles to each other , their relative velocity is given by the hypotenuse formed by the x and y direction velocities.

Relative velocity of the two protons is  given as

\sqrt{v^{2}+v^{2}} = (\sqrt{2} ) v

If v = 3/5 c , then the relative speed = \sqrt{2} (3/5c) =0.85 c

A Explain why the sound produced by the horn of an approaching car
aleksklad [387]
When a car approaches you, the sound waves that reach you have a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency. You hear a sound with a higher pitch. When the car moves away from you, the sound waves that reach you have a longer wavelength and lower frequency.

?? ⬇️

An approaching source moves closer during period of the sound wave so the effective wavelength is shortened, giving a higher pitch since the velocity of the wave is unchanged. Similarly the pitch of a receding sound source will be lowered.

The Doppler effect is an effect observed in light and sound waves as they move toward or away from an observer. One simple example of the Doppler effect is the sound of an automobile horn. Picture a person standing on a street corner. A car approaches, blowing its horn.

Comparing two waves of the same wavelength, a higher frequency is associated with faster movement. Comparing two waves of different wavelengths, a higher frequency doesn't always indicate faster movement, although it can. Waves of different wavelengths can have the same frequency.

The pitch of a sound is our ear's response to the frequency of sound. Whereas loudness depends on the energy of the wave. ... The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency while loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of sound waves.

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12 degrees with the horizontal. The rope moves
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

  • Work done by the rope 900 m/s.
  • Angle of inclination of the slope = \theta\ =\ 12^o
  • Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s
  • Length of the inclined surface = d = 8.0 m

part (a)

The rope is doing the work against the gravity on the skier to uplift up to the inclined surface. Therefore the work done by the rope is equal to the work done on the skier due to the gravity

\therefore W_r\ =\ W_g\ =\ 900\ J

In both cases the height attained by the skier is equal. and the work done by gravity does not depend upon the speed of the skier.

part (b)

  • Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 1.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 112.5\ Watt

Part (c)

  • Initial speed of the skier = v = 2.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 2.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 225\ Watt

Nresistors, each having resistance equal to 1 2, are arranged in a circuit first in series and then in parallel. What is the rat
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

Let the resistance of each resistor is R.

In series combination,

The effective resistance is Rs.

rs = r + R + R + .... + n times = NR

Let V be the source of potential difference.

Power in series

Ps = v^2 / Rs = V^2 / NR ..... (1)

In parallel combination

the effective resistance is Rp

1 / Rp = 1 / R + 1 / R + .... + N times

1 / Rp = N / R

Rp = R / N

Power is parallel

Rp = v^2 / Rp = N V^2 / R    ..... (2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2) we get

Ps / Pp = 1 / N^2
