The correct answer is B (Inertia)

We define inertia as the resistance to change of the state of motion. That is, a body tends to remain in its state of motion or rests unless an external for acts on it. The quantity depends on the mass of the body. If the body is heavy, it requires a large force to overcome the inertia.

A stationary siren creates an 894 Hz
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

12.3 m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler equation describes how sound frequency depends on relative velocities:

fr = fs (c + vr)/(c + vs),

where fr is the frequency heard by the receiver,

fs is the frequency emitted at the source,

c is the speed of sound,

vr is the velocity of the receiver,

and vs is the velocity of the source.

Note: vr is positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative if away.

Conversely, vs is positive if the receiver is moving away from the source, and negative if towards.

Given:

fs = 894 Hz

fr = 926 Hz

c = 343 m/s

vs = 0 m/s

Find: vr

926 = 894 (343 + vr) / (343 + 0)

vr = 12.3

The speed of the car is 12.3 m/s.

In young’s double slit experiment, the measured fringe width is 0.5 mm for a Sodium light of 589 nm at a distance of 1.5 m. A br
Levart [38]

Answer:

(A).  The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Fringe width d = 0.5 mm

Wavelength = 589 nm

Distance of screen and slit D = 1.5 m

Distance of bright fringe y = 1 cm

(A) We need to calculate the order of the bright fringe

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{dy}{mD}

m=\dfrac{d y}{\lambda D}

Put the value into the formula

m=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{589\times10^{-9}\times1.5}

m=5.65 = 6

(B). We need to calculate the width of the bright fringe

Using formula of width of fringe

\beta=\dfrac{yd}{D}

Put the value in to the formula

\beta=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{1.5}

\beta=3.33\times10^{-6}\ m

\beta=3.33\ \mu m

Hence, (A).  The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

by how many times occur in the force of attraction between two bodies change when the distance between then is reduced to one th
xenn [34]

Answer:

<em>The force is now 9 times the original force</em>

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law </u>

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Coulomb's formula is:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

Where:

k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2

q1, q2 = the particles' charge

d= The distance between the particles

Suppose the distance is reduced to d'=d/3, the new force F' is:

\displaystyle F'=k\frac{q_1q_2}{\left(\frac{d}{3}\right)^2}

\displaystyle F'=k\frac{q_1q_2}{\frac{d^2}{9}}

\displaystyle F'=9k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

\displaystyle F'=9F

The force is now 9 times the original force
