Answer:

648 m

Explanation:

Let the length of slope be 'L' m.

Given:

Initial velocity of the child (u) = 0

Angle of inclination of the slope (x) = 15.0°

Time taken to reach the bottom (t) = 22.6 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

No frictional forces act.

Now, acceleration acting on the child along the slope can be determined by resolving the acceleration due to gravity along the slope.

So, acceleration along the slope is given as:

a_{slope}=g\sin(x)=9.8\sin(15)=2.536\ m/s^2

Now, use to equation of motion along the slope to find the length of slope.

Therefore,

L=ut+\frac{1}{2}a_{slope}t^2\\\\L=0+\frac{1}{2}(2.536)(22.6)^2\\\\L=1.268\times 510.76=647.6\approx 648\ m

Therefore, the slope is 648 m long.

Option (1) is correct.

An alert physics student stands beside the tracks as a train rolls slowly past. He notes that the frequency of the train whistle
Dovator [93]

Answer:The velocity of the train is 3.84m/s

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect, if the source is moving towards you then the apparent frequency of the sound emitted by the source is higher and if the source is moving away from you then the apparent frequency of the sound emitted by the source is smaller.

This is given by:

fo = V +-Vo/ V +-Vo × source

Where fo= observed frequency

V= velocity of sound

Vo= vo it of the observer

fsource= frequency the source

Given:

Observed frequency of the approaching train fo1= 452Hz

The observed frequency of train= fo2= 442Hz

Velocity of sound= 334m/s

Velocity of source=?

Train approaching the observer is given by:

fo1= V/(V - Vs)× source ...eq1

Train passes the student is given by:

fo2= V/(V - Vs)×source ...eq2

Divide eq1 by eq2

452/442 = (343+Vs)/(343 - Vs)

1.02 =(343+Vs)/(343 -Vs)

Cross multiply

1.02(343- Vs) = 343 + Vs

350.76 - 1.02Vs = 343 + Vs

Collecting like terms

350.76 -343= 1.02Vs+ Vs

7.76 = 2.02Vs

Vs= 7.76/2.02

Vs= 3.84m/s

What is the astronomy made of
vekshin1

Answer:

Astronomers like to call all material made up of protons, neutrons and electrons "baryonic matter". Until about thirty years ago, astronomers thought that the universe was composed almost entirely of this "baryonic matter", ordinary atoms.
