While sitting in your car by the side of a country road, you see your friend, who happens to have an identical car with an ident

ical horn, approaching you. You blow your horn, which has a frequency of 260 Hz; your friend begins to blow his horn as well, and you hear a beat frequency of 5.0 Hz. Part A How fast is your friend approaching you

Answer:

-6.49 m/s

Explanation:

This is doppler effect.

The equation is;

F_l = [(v + v_l)/(v + v_s)]F_s

Where;

F_l is frequency observed by the listener

v is speed of sound

v_l is speed of listener

v_s is speed of source of the sound

F_s is frequency of the source of the sound

In this question, the source of the sound is the moving vehicle.

Thus;

F_l = F_beat + F_s

We are given beat frequency (f_beat) as 5 Hz while source frequency (F_s) as 260 Hz.

So,

F_l = 5 + 260

F_l = 265 Hz

Since listener is sitting by car, thus; v_l = 0 m/s

Thus,from our doppler effect equation, let's make v_s the subject;

v_s = F_s[(v + v_l)/F_l] - v

Speed of sound has a value of v = 344 m/s

Thus;

v_s = 260[(344 + 0)/265] - 344

v_s = -6.49 m/s

This value is negative because the source is moving towards the listener

A ball with an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s rolls up a hill without slipping. (a) Treating the ball as a spherical shell, calcul
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Part i)

h = 5.44 m

Part ii)

h = 3.16 m

Explanation:

Part i)

Since the ball is rolling so its total kinetic energy in this case will convert into gravitational potential energy

So we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = mgh

here we know that for spherical shell and pure rolling conditions

v = R \omega

I = \frac{2}{3}mR^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}mR^2)(\frac{v^2}{R^2}) = mgh

\frac{5}{6}mv^2 = mgh

h = \frac{5v^2}{6g}

h = \frac{5(8^2)}{6(9.81)} = 5.44 m

Part b)

If ball is not rolling and just sliding over the hill then in that case

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh

h = \frac{v^2}{2g}

h = \frac{8^2}{2(9.81)} = 3.16 m

Why is an object's density expressed as a relationship between two units?
vfiekz [6]
Probably for kind of the same reason that speed is expressed as a
relationship between two units.  You know, like miles per hour .

I guess the only reason is because no single unit has been invented
to describe density.

The rate of doing work or using energy would always be expressed
as a relationship between two units ... we would say that the rate of
work is "(so many) joules per second".  But the "watt" was invented,
so we can say "(so many) watts" instead.

So I guess you're right.  Density could be simpler to describe
if we only had a unit for it.  Then we wouldn't have to say "(so many)
grams per cubic centimeter".  We would just say "(so many) (new unit)".

Let's try it out:
 
"Uhhh, pardon me Professor . . . I've been working late in the lab,
and I believe I've identified a new substance, hitherto unknown to
the scientific community, and totally unexpected.  In its pure form,
the substance appears to be pink, it smells like butterscotch, and
its density is approximately 27.4 Brianas.  I think it's time we published
these findings ... with your name as lead investigator, of course."

I like it !
