<h3>Answer:</h3>

40. 383 Hz, 0.9 m

6. 20.78 m/s

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

40. You know the pitch will be increased when the train is moving toward you. The only answer choice that is greater than 350 Hz is the one shown above.

Using the formula shown in the attachment, we compute the observed frequency to be ...

... f' = (343 m/s)/(343 m/s -32 m/s)×(350 Hz) ≈ 1.102893×350 Hz ≈ 386 Hz

The wavelength is given by ...

... λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(386 Hz) ≈ 0.8886 m ≈ 0.9 m

_____

<em>Comment on the answer choice</em>

If you erroneously use the frequency modification formula f'=(v+vo)/v·f, then you get 382.7 Hz ≈ 383 Hz. We suspect an error in the answer key. Have your teacher show you how to work this problem.

__________

6. The velocity can be computed from the acceleration and distance covered by ...

... v = √(2ad)

... v = √(2·9.8 m/s²·22 m) = (√431.2) m/s ≈ 20.77 m/s

The closest answer among those offered is 20.78 m/s. Again, you should have your teacher show you how to work this problem to arrive at the offered answer.

One

I putting this up because I have answers. This is another doppler effect problem.

Givens

  • f = 350                Frequency in Hz of the train whistle
  • v = 343 m/s        Speed of sound
  • vs = 32 m/s        Train's speed moving towards the observer
  • vo = 0                 The observer is standing still
  • f'   = ??                 What the observer thinks the frequency is

Formula

  • f' = (v + vo) * f / (v - vs)

Solution

  • f' = (342 + 0)*350/(342 - 32)
  • f' = (342)*350 / 310
  • f' = 386 Hz

v= f * wavelength

v = 343 m/s

f = 386 Hz

343 = 386 * wavelength

343 / 386 = wavelength

wavelength = 0.881 m

Answer: 386, 0.9 C

Problem Two

Givens

  • d = 22 m
  • a = 9.81
  • vi = 0
  • vf = ?

Formula

  • vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a * d

Solution

  • vf^2 = 2 * 9.81 * 22
  • vf^2 = sqrt(431.64)
  • vf = 20.78

Answer: A

Note to get 20.78 they used 9.8 but then there should only be 2 places and the answer (rounded) is 21. Otherwise the answer is 20.77

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 43.
zmey [24]

To solve this problem, we must take two important steps. First we will convert all the given units, to international system. Later we will define the torque, which is given as the product between the radius of application of the force and the Force acting on the body. Mathematically the latter is,

\tau = r F

Here,

r = Radius

F = Force

Now the units,

r = 1.95cm = 1.95*10^{-2}m

Replacing,

\tau = (1.95*10^{-2})(43.5N)

\tau = 0.8483N\cdot m

Therefore the torque that the muscle produces on the wrist is 0.85N\cdot m

A horizontal wire 1 m long carries 0.4 A and is oriented 30° N of W. The Earth's magnetic field runs due north at this location
alexira [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by the following expression

F = B i L where B is magnetic field perpendicular to wire or current , i is current and L is length of the wire.

Magnetic field of 1.5 x 10⁻⁵ T is making an angle of 60 degree with the wire so the component of field perpendicular to it

B = 1.5 X 10⁻⁵ Cos 30° = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵ T.

Force = BiL

= 1.3 X 10⁻⁵ X .4 X 1

= 5.2 X 10⁻⁶ N.

The direction of force can be found out from Fleming's left hand rule . It will be along downward direction.

1) For a positive point charge, the lines radiate ………. . While, for a negative point charge, the lines converge …………. .
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

For a positive point charge, the lines radiate <u>outwards</u>, while for a negative point charge, the lines converge<u> inwards.</u>

Explanation:

A single point charges produces an electric field which has a radial shape.The sign of a charge determines the the direction of the field. In Positive charge have the direction of field is out of the charge and for negative charge, the direction of field is towards the charge.This behavior is in relation to how a positive test charge will experience in a field.
