Answer:

The correct answer is V√5

Explanation:

Let V be the velocity of the satellite orbiting at radius r.

Let V(5r) be the velocity of the satellite orbiting at radius 5r.

Recall:

Escape velocity is given by:

V = √(2gr)

Where V is the escape velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

r is the radius of the earth.

With the above equation, we can obtain the answer to the question as follow:

V = √(2gr)

V(5r) = √(2g5r)

Next, we'll obtained the ratio of V(5r) to V as shown below

V(5r) : V => V(5r)/V

V(5r)/V = √(2g5r) / √(2gr)

V(5r)/V = √5

Cross multiply

V(5r) = V√5

From the above illustration, we can see that when the satellite is moved to 3r, then the expression for the velocity will be V√5

A weight suspended from a spring is seen to bob up and down over a total distance of 20 centimeters twice each second.
Tom [10]

"Twice each second" means "2 per second".  <em>Frequency = 2 Hz.</em>

<em>Period </em>= time for one bounce = <em>1 second</em>

Amplitude = distance between "not stretched" and "greatest stretch".

<em>Amplitude =  10 centimeters</em>

2. While standing near a bus stop, a student hears a distant horn beeping. The frequency emitted by the horn is 440 Hz. The bus
jarptica [38.1K]

Given Information:

Frequency of horn = f₀ = 440 Hz

Speed of sound = v = 330 m/s

Speed of bus = v₀ = 20 m/s

Answer:

Case 1. When the bus is crossing the student = 440 Hz

Case 2. When the bus is approaching the student = 414.9 Hz

Case 3. When the bus is moving away from the student = 468.4 Hz

Explanation:

There are 3 cases in this scenario:

Case 1. When the bus is crossing the student

Case 2. When the bus is approaching the student

Case 3. When the bus is moving away from the student

Let us explore each case:

Case 1. When the bus is crossing the student:

Student will hear the same frequency emitted by the horn that is 440 Hz.

f = 440 Hz

Case 2. When the bus is approaching the student

f = f₀ ( v / v+v₀ )

f = 440 ( 330/ 330+20 )

f = 440 ( 330/ 350 )

f = 440 ( 0.943 )

f = 414.9 Hz

Case 3. When the bus is moving away from the student

f = f₀ ( v / v+v₀ )

f = 440 ( 330/ 330-20 )

f = 440 ( 330/ 310 )

f = 440 ( 1.0645 )

f = 468.4 Hz

Does the horizontal distance d travelled by the ball depend on the height of release? If it does depend on the height, what is t
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , the horizontal distance travelled by the ball will depend upon the height of release .

When a ball is thrown at some angle from a height , it has two components , the vertical component and horizontal component . The ball goes in horizontal direction due to its horizontal component . Its vertical component has no role to play .  But the horizontal range covered by the body thrown

depends upon the duration of time in which it remains in air . The longer it remains in air , the greater distance it can cover horizontally .

Horizontal distance covered = t x horizontal velocity

If V be the velocity of throw and Vx be its horizontal component

Horizontal distance covered = t x Vx

Now t depends upon the height . If height rises , time of fall will increase so horizontal distance covered will increase .

If h be the height from which the body is thrown , Vy be the vertical upward component of initial velocity

from the relation

s = ut + 1/2 at²

h = - Vy t  + 1/2 at²

As h increases , t will increase and therefore horizontal distance covered will increase. If the ball has only  horizontal velocity initially , Vy = 0

h = 1/2 gt²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

Horizontal distance covered  = t x Vx

= \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \times  V_x

From this expression also

Horizontal distance covered is proportional to \sqrt{h} .
