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

g Two radiation modes (one at the center frequency lIo and the other at lIO+?lI) are excited with 1000 photons each. Determine t
Schach [20]

Answer:

a) P=0.25x10^-7

b) R=B*N2*E

c) N=1.33x10^9 photons

Explanation:

a) the spontaneous emission rate is equal to:

1/tsp=1/3 ms

the stimulated emission rate is equal to:

pst=(N*C*o(v))/V

where

o(v)=((λ^2*A)/(8*π*u^2))g(v)

g(v)=2/(π*deltav)

o(v)=(λ^2)/(4*π*tp*deltav)

Replacing values:

o(v)=0.7^2/(4*π*3*50)=8.3x10^-19 cm^2

the probability is equal to:

P=(1000*3x10^10*8.3x10^-19)/(100)=0.25x10^-7

b) the rate of decay is equal to:

R=B*N2*E, where B is the Einstein´s coefficient and E is the energy system

c) the number of photons is equal to:

N=(1/tsp)*(V/C*o)

Replacing:

N=100/(3*3x10^10*8.3x10^-19)

N=1.33x10^9 photons

A potential energy function is given by u(x)=(3.00n)xâ(1.00n/m2)x3. at what position or positions is the force equal to zero?
qwelly [4]

I believe the correct form of the energy function is:

u (x) = (3.00 N) x + (1.00 N / m^2) x^3

or in simpler terms without the units:

u (x) = 3 x + x^3

Since the highest degree is power of 3, therefore there are two roots or solutions of the equation.

 

Since we are to find for the positions x in which the force equal to zero, u (x) = 0, therefore:

3 x + x^3 = u (x)

3 x + x^3 = 0

Taking out x:

x (3 + x^2) = 0

So one of the factors is x = 0.

 

Finding for the other two factors, we divide the two sides by x and giving us:

x^2 + 3 = 0

x^2 = - 3

x = sqrt (- 3)

x = - 1.732 i, 1.732 i

 

The other two roots are imaginary therefore the force is only equal to zero when the position is also zero.

 

Answer:

x = 0

A thin block of soft wood with a mass of 0.072 kg rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. A bullet with a mass of 4.67 g is
kozerog [31]

Answer:

v’= 279.66 m / s

Explanation:

We work this exercise using the conservation of the moment. For this we define the system formed by the two blocks, therefore the forces during the collision are internal of the action and reaction type.

Initial instant. Before the crash

        p₀ = m v₀ + 0

Final moment. After the crash

        p_f = m v + M v ’

how the tidal wave is preserved

       p₀ = p_f

       m v₀ = m v + M v ’

       v = \frac{m v_o - Mv'}{m}

let's calculate

       v ’= \frac{0.00467 \ 619 - 0.072 \ 22}{0.004676}

       v ’= \frac{2.89- 1.584}{ 0.00467}

       v ’= 279.66 m / s

If x =(20-4t^2) find average velocity between t=0and t=2sec​
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The average velocity is 8 unit per sec

Explanation:

Given as :

The Distance x = 20 - 4t²  unit

Change in time Δt = ( 2 - 0 ) s = 2 s

Let the velocity = V unit/s

∴   V = \frac{\partial (20 - 4t^{2})}{\partial x}

Or, V =  - 8t          unit/s

Now velocity at t = 0

V1 = - 8 × 0 =  0  unit/s

And   velocity  at t = 2 sec

V2 =  - 8 × 2 = - 16

So, Average velocity = \frac{v2 - v1}{2} = \frac{- 16 - 0}{2} = -8

Or, \begin{vmatrix}V\end{vmatrix} = 8   unit/sec

Hence The average velocity is 8 unit per sec       Answer
