Answer:
A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer
Explanation:
This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes us.
Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.
Answer:
- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only
- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward
There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:
- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.
- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.
Answer:
B = 9.16 10⁻² T
Explanation:
The speed selector is a configuration where the electric and magnetic force has the opposite direction, which for a specific speed cancel
q v B = q E
v = E / B
B = E / v
Let's calculate
B = 4.4 10⁵ / 4.8 10⁶
B = 9.16 10⁻² T
Answer:
v = 10 m/s
Explanation:
given,
Mass of Mercedes engine = 2000 Kg
Power delivered = 100 kW
angle made with horizontal = 30°
acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
largest speed car can sustain = ?
we know,
Power = Force x velocity
P = F x v
P = mg sinθ x v
P = mg sin 30° x v
P = 0.5 mg x v
v = 10 m/s
hence, the maximum velocity is equal to v = 10 m/s
From tables, the speed of sound at 0°C is approximately
V₁ = 331 m/s (in air)
V₃ = 5130 m/s (in iron)
Distance traveled is
d = 100 km = 10⁵ m
Time required to travel in air is
t₁ = d/V₁ = 10⁵/331 = 302.12 s
Time required to travel in iron is
t₂ = d/V₂ = 10⁵/5130 = 19.49 s
The difference in time is
302.12 - 19.49 = 282.63 s
Answer: 283 s (nearest second)
