Answer:

(a)0.0002778

(b)1.16\times10^{-5}

Explanation:

(a) The minute hand has a period of 60 minutes ( or 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds) for 1 circle. Its frequency per second would be

1 / 3600 = 0.0002778

(b) The hour hand has a period of 24 hours ( or 24*60 * 60 = 86400

seconds) for 1 circle. Its frequency per second would be

1 / 86400 = 1.16\times10^{-5}

The question is not well presented.

There is  ______ shift in sound  frequency for observers towards  whom the source is approaching.

Answer:

The  gap should be filled with an apparent upward

Explanation:

The Doppler effect (also referred to as the Doppler shift) is the difference in frequency of a wave when related to an observer who has a relative movement to the wave source

The Doppler effect can be observed to occur with all types of waves - most notably water waves, sound waves, and light waves

The Doppler effect describes sound as an effect which is produced from a moving source of wave.

According to the Doppler effect;

When the source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for observers towards whom the source is approaching.

Why does your body feels like it is being pushed back when the car starts back up again

Two masses are separated by a distance r. If this distance is doubled, is the force of interaction between the two masses double
baherus [9]

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

This is mathematically represented as

<u>F= (G X m1 x m2) /r∧2</u>

where F is the force acting between the charged particles

r is the distance between the two charges measured in m

G is the gravitational constant which has a value of <em>6.674×10^-11 Nm^2 kg^-2</em>

m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects measured in Kg

Now if the distance between the is doubled then r becomes 2r. Substituting this in the above formula we get the new Force as

Force (new) = (G X m1 x m2) /(2r)∧2


Thus dividing Force(new)/Force we get

Force(new)/Force = 1/4.

Thus the gravitational force becomes 1/4th of the original value if the distance between the two masses are doubled.
