Answer: The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Doppler effect is the phenomenon in which there is an apparent change in the frequency or increase or decrease when there is a relative motion between the listener and the observer.

When the listener and the observer are approaching each other then the frequency of the wave will get increased.

When the listener and the observer are moving away from each other then the frequency of the wave will get decreased.

Therefore, under the Doppler effect, an observer behind a moving wave source observes decreased wave frequency.

One string of a certain musical instrument is 70.0 cm long and has a mass of 8.79 g . It is being played in a room where the spe

Svetach [21]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of linear mass density, and the expression of the wavelength with which we can find the frequency of the string. With these values it will be possible to find the voltage value. Later we will apply concepts related to harmonic waves in order to find the fundamental frequency.

The linear mass density is given as,

$\mu = \frac{m}{l}$

$\mu = \frac{8.79*10^{-3}}{70*10^{-2}}$

$\mu = 0.01255kg/m$

The expression for the wavelength of the standing wave for the second overtone is

$\lambda = \frac{2}{3} l$

Replacing we have

$\lambda = \frac{2}{3} (70*10^{-2})$

$\lambda = 0.466m$

The frequency of the sound wave is

$f_s = \frac{v}{\lambda_s}$

$f_s = \frac{344}{0.768}$

$f_s = 448Hz$

Now the velocity of the wave would be

$v = f_s \lambda$

$v = (448)(0.466)$

$v = 208.768m/s$

The expression that relates the velocity of the wave, tension on the string and linear mass density is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

$v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu}$

$T= \mu v^2$

$T = (0.01255kg/m)(208.768m/s)^2$

$T = 547N$

The tension in the string is 547N

PART B) The relation between the fundamental frequency and the $n^{th}$ harmonic frequency is

$f_n = nf_1$

Overtone is the resonant frequency above the fundamental frequency. The second overtone is the second resonant frequency after the fundamental frequency. Therefore

$n=3$

Then,

$f_3 = 3f_1$

Rearranging to find the fundamental frequency

$f_1 = \frac{f_3}{3}$

$f_1 = \frac{448Hz}{3}$

$f_1 = 149.9Hz$

Which statement is correct about the potential energy of a car moving down a ramp?

Paha777 [63]

Potential energy is highest when the car is released at the top of the ramp. The correct answer is option C

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body when the body is at rest. Potential energy is at time called gravitational potential energy which as a product of mass of the body, acceleration due to gravity and the height attained by the body. That is,

P.E = mgh

When a car is moving down a ramp, the potential energy of the car can never remain the same except the car stop at a certain point.

Whenever a car is moving down a ramp, the potential energy of the car will be highest when the car is release at the top of the ramp. And lowest when the car reaches the bottom of the ramp.

The statement that is correct about the potential energy of a car moving down a ramp is:

Potential energy is highest when the car is released at the top of the ramp.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C
