To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 16.2 Doppler effect. The sound source of a ship’s sonar system operates at a frequency of 2

2.0 kHz . The speed of sound in water (assumed to be at a uniform 20∘C) is 1482 m/s . What is the difference in frequency between the directly radiated waves and the waves reflected from a whale traveling straight toward the ship at 4.95 m/s ? Assume that the ship is at rest in the water. mastering physics g

Answer:

147 Hz

Explanation:

First we need to know what frequency will the waves hitting the whale have respect of it.

The change in frequency is calculated with this equation:

\Delta f = \frac{\Delta v}{c} * f0

However in this case, the wave is bouncing on the whale and coming back, so there is a double frequency shift (the difference is the same both times because the relative speeds between the two objects is the same both times)

\Delta f = 2*\frac{\Delta v}{c} * f0

Then:

\Delta f = 2*\frac{\4.95 - 0}{1482} * 22000 = 147 Hz

The frequency shift is positive, it will have increased frequency.

You push a refrigerator with a force of 100 N. If you move the refrigerator a distance of 5 m while you are pushing, how much wo
ddd [48]

The work done to push the refrigerator is 500 Nm.

Explanation:

Work done is the measure of force required to move any object from one point to another. So it is calculated as the product of force and displacement.

If the force increases the work done will increase and similarly, the increase in displacement increases the work done. So to push the refrigerator work should be done on the object and not by the object.

As the force is 100 N and the displacement is 5 m then, work done can be measured as

Work = Force × Displacement

Work = 100 × 5 = 500 Nm

So the work done to push the refrigerator is 500 Nm.

This problem is based on the whole idea of pressure but I’m having trouble on when the area circle formula is included.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

6.23x10^6Pa

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

F (force) = 490N

r (radius) = 0.005m

A (area of the circlular heel) =?

P (pressure) =.?

First, we'll begin by calculating the area of the circlular heel. This is illustrated below:

Area of circle = πr^2

Area = 22/7 x (0.00)^2

Area = 7.86x10^-5m^2

Pressure is simply force per unit area. It represented mathematically as

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 490/7.86x10^-5

Pressure = 6.23x10^6N/m2

Recall: 1N/m2 = 1Pa

Therefore, 6.23x10^6N/m2 = 6.23x10^6Pa

Therefore, the woman exert a pressure of 6.23x10^6Pa on the floor

Which of the following concepts best explains why a mass of low-density material in the mantle rises?Multiple Choice Strain Buoy
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)
