The sound you hear as the siren gets closer will increase in pitch and that will decrease as it moves away from you.

Explanation:
Sound is a longitudinal pressure wave. As the ambulance moves closer to you, the air molecules get compressed together. The wavelength of the sound (these pressure waves) decreases, and the frequency increases. That results in a higher sound pitch.

Help on finding kinetic energy??
Jobisdone [24]
Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.

What are two situational examples of unbalanced forces?
polet [3.4K]

An example of a balanced force is two cards leaning against each other and not falling over, or two football players blocking each other but neither overpowering the other. An example of an unbalanced force is two cards leaning on each other then falling over, or two football players blocking each other, then one tackles the other.

9. A 5.0 kg block on an inclined plane is acted upon by a horizontal force of 100 N shown in the figure below. The coefficient o
Helga [31]

Answer:

A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.

B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane

Explanation:

Let us work with variables and set

m=5kg\\\\F_H=100N\\\\\mu=0.3\\\\\theta=37^o.

As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.

Part A:

From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:

F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+F_s-F_Hcos(\theta).

Now the force of friction is F_s=\mu*N, where N is the normal force and from the diagram it is F_y=mg*cos(\theta).

Thus F_s=\mu*N=\mu*mg*cos(\theta).

Therefore,

F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+\mu*mg*cos(\theta)-F_Hcos(\theta)\\\\=mg(sin(\theta)+\mu*cos(\theta))-F_Hcos(\theta).

Substituting the value for F_H,m,\mu, and \:\theta we get:

F_{tot}= -38.63N.

Now acceleration is simply

a=\frac{F_H}{m} =\frac{-38.63N}{5kg} =-7.7m/s.

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.

Part B:

d=\frac{1}{2} at^2

Which can be rearranged to solve for t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a} }

Substitute the value of d=0.50m and a=7.7m/s and we get:

t=0.36s.

which is our answer.

Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of a, because for this formula absolute value is needed.

____ [38]

The charge on each of the equally charged drops of hairspray willl be 7 × 10 ⁻¹³ C

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Similar charges repel each other, whereas charges that are opposed attract each other.

Given data;

Electric force,F = 9 × 10 ⁻⁹ N

Distance between charges,d = 7 × 10⁻⁴ m

Chrge,q₁ = q₂ =q C

From Columb's law;

\rm F = K \frac{q_1q_2}{d^2} \\\\ 9 \times 10^{-9}  = 9 \times 10^9 \frac{q^2}{(7 \times 10^{-4})^2} \\\\ q^2 = 4.9 \times 10^{-25} \\\\  q = 7 \times 10^{-13} \ C

Hence the charge on each of the equally charged drops of hairspray willl be 7 × 10 ⁻¹³ C

How long can you keep string cheese in the fridge?
allsm [11]
Cheese attributes its sour taste because of its lactic acid content. However, this should not be an indication to whether the cheese is spoiling already. We can tell its expiry date through the manufacturing details of the product. The product should be good to consume before the manufacturing expiry date. Every package must include expiry date in order to inform the consumer about the range of its consumability attributes. In the case where molds are present on the cheese already, cheese on some parts may not be edible already. Molds are due to the oxidation of glucose through the action of specific bacteria.
