A car speeding down the highway honks its horn, which has a frequency 392 Hz, but a resting bystander hears the frequency 440 Hz

. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, how fast is the car moving

Answer:

37.42 m/s

Explanation:

We know that apparent frequency, \bar f is given by

\bar f=f\frac {V}{V-V_s} where f is the given frequency in this case 392, V is the speed of sound in air which is given as 343 and V_s is the speed of car which is unknown, \bar f is given as 440 Hz

440=392\times \frac {343}{343-V_s}\\343-V_s=392\times \frac {343}{440}=305.5818182\\V_s=343-305.5818182=37.41818182\approx 37.42 m/s

Describe a situation in your everyday life where you could use the scientific method. List all the steps of the scientific metho
emmainna [20.7K]

Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.

For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.

Observation (the state of defining a problem):

The car is not started

Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):

The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.  

Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):

You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.

Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis

You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.

Draw conclusion:

The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.

<em>Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.</em>

Hope it helps!

How does critical mass play a role in nuclear reactions?
malfutka [58]

Answer;

C.It is the minimum amount of material needed to sustain a fission reaction.

Explanation;

-A critical mass is the smallest or the minimum amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction. A critical mass must be achieved in order for the chain reaction to continue and release the atomic energy. A critical mass is needed for both a nuclear reactor and an atomic or hydrogen bomb.

-The critical mass of a fissionable material depends upon its nuclear properties (specifically, the nuclear fission cross section), its density, its shape, its enrichment, its purity, its temperature, and its surroundings.

Two small spheres with mass 10 gm and charge q, are suspended from a point by threads of length L=0.22m. What is the charge on e
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

q=1.95*10^{-7}C

Explanation:

According to the free-body diagram of the system, we have:

\sum F_y: Tcos(15^\circ)-mg=0(1)\\\sum F_x: Tsin(15^\circ)-F_e=0(2)

So, we can solve for T from (1):

T=\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)}(3)

Replacing (3) in (2):

(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=F_e

The electric force (F_e) is given by the Coulomb's law. Recall that the charge q is the same in both spheres:

(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}(4)

According to pythagoras theorem, the distance of separation (r) of the spheres are given by:

sin(15^\circ)=\frac{\frac{r}{2}}{L}\\r=2Lsin(15^\circ)(5)

Finally, we replace (5) in (4) and solving for q:

mgtan(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{mgtan(15^\circ)(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}{k}}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{10*10^{-3}kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})tan(15^\circ)(2(0.22m)sin(15^\circ))^2}{8.98*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}}\\q=1.95*10^{-7}C

One liter (1000cm3) of oil is spilled onto a smooth lake. If the oil spreads out uniformly until it makes an oil slick just one
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

he diameter of the oil slick is 2523 m

Explanation:

given information?

V = 1 L = 1000 cm³ = 0.001 m³

h = 2 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

first we have to find the radius using the following equation

V = πr²h

r = √V/(πh)

  = √(0.001)/(π x 2 x 10⁻¹⁰ )

  = 1261.56 m

now, we can calculate the diameter of the oil slick

d = 2r

  = 2 (1261.56)

  = 2523 m
