A speaker fixed to a moving platform moves toward a wall, emitting a steady sound with a frequency of 245 Hz. A person on the pl

atform right next to the speaker detects the sound waves reflected off the wall and those emitted by the speaker.
How fast should the platform move, vp, for the person to detect a beat frequency of 3.00 Hz?

Answer:

Explanation:

by Doppler effect

F apparent = F real x (Vair +- Vobserver) / (Vair +- Vsource)

case1 :if observer is approaching a source then put a + in numerator and - in denominator

case 2 : if observer is going away from source then do opposite.

it is case1 cos observer is moving toward wall . actually wall is acting as a source for observer

so

F apparent = 240 x (344 + vp ) / (344 - vp )

now F apparent - Freal = beat frequency of 6.00 Hz

so {240 x (344 + vp ) / (344 - vp )} - 230 = 6

240 x (344 + vp -344 + vp) / (344 - vp ) = 6

240 x 2 x vp = 6 x (344 - vp )

480 vp = 2064 - 6 x vp

486 x vp = 2064

vp = 4.24 m/s

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir

TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

$I=I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_ {0}$ indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

$\theta$ indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

$I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)$

Replacing the values,

$I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)$

$I=100*cos^4(20)$

$I=77.91W/m^2$

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is $77.91W/m^2$

A block of ice with mass 2.00 kg slides 0.750 m down an inclined plane that slopes downward at an angle of 36.9 degrees below th

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: $V_{f}=2.96m/s$

Firstly we have to draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) as shown in the figure attached.

Where the weight $w$ of the block has an x-component and y-component:

$w_{x}=wsin(\theta)$ (1)

$w_{y}=wcos(\theta)$ (2)

As well as the Normal Force $N$ :

$N_{x}=Nsin(\theta)$ (3)

$N_{y}=Ncos(\theta)$ (4)

In addition, we know $N=w$ , then $\sum F_{y}=0$

In the X-component:

$\sum F_{x}=m.a$

$m.a=w_{x}$ (5)

Substituting (1) in (5):

$wsin(\theta)=m.a$ (6)

In addition, we know $w=m.g$ , where $m$ is the mass of the block and $g$ the gravity acceleration, which is equal to $9.8m/{s}^{2}$

So:

$m.g.sin(\theta)=m.a$ (7)

$a=g.sin(\theta)$ (8)

$a=5.88m/{s}^{2}$ (9) >>>>This is the acceleration of the block

On the other hand, we have the following equation that expresses a <u>relation between</u> the distance $d$ with the acceleration $a$ and time $t$ :

$d=\frac{1}{2}a{t}^{2}$ (10)

We already know the value of $d$ and calculated $a$ , we have to find $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (11)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.75m)}{5.88m/{s}^{2}}}$ (12)

$t=0.50s$ (13) >>>This is the time it takes to the block to go from the initial velocity $V_{o}$ to its final velocity $V_{f}$

If the acceleration is the variation of the velocity in time, we can use the following equation to find $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}-V_{o}=a.t$ (13)

If $V_{o}=0$

$V_{f}=a.t$ (14)

$V_{f}=(5.88m/{s}^{2})(0.50s)$ (15)

Finally we get the value of the Final Velocity of the block:

$V_{f}=2.96m/s$

As a diligent physics student, you carry out physics experiments at every opportunity. At this opportunity, you carry a 1.33 m l

deff fn [24]

Answer: 62 μT

Explanation:

Given

Length of rod, l = 1.33 m

Velocity of rod, v = 3.19 m/s

Induced emf, e = 0.263*10^-3 V

Using Faraday's law, the induced emf of a rod can be gotten by the formula

e = blv where,

e = induced emf of the rod

b = magnetic field of the rod

l = length of the rod

v = velocity of the rod. On substituting, we have

0.263*10^-3 = b * 1.33 * 3.19

0.263*10^-3 = b * 4.2427

b = 0.263*10^-3 / 4.2427

b = 0.0000620 T

b = 62 μT

Thus, the strength of the magnetic field is 62 μT
