As you sit outside, the sound of a siren becomes lower in pitch. Is the emergency vehicle moving away from or towards you? expla

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.

Which statement is accurate about mass or weight? A. Mass can be measured in newtons. B. Weight can be measured in pounds. C. A
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Weight can be measured in pounds. Pounds is a unit of weight.

=> Mass is measured in kgs

=> A bowling ball has more mass than a golf ball.

=> Objects do not have the same weight regardless of where they are. The weight depends on where they are as it depends on the acceleration due to gravity (g)

A 2 kg ball is attached by a string to the top of a vertical pole and swings in a circle of radius 1.2 m. If the string makes an
never [62]

Answer:

v = 3.81 m/s

Explanation:

First, we will find out the radius (r)

sinΘ = r / L

or

r = LsinΘ

on substituting the values, we get

r = 1.2 × sin18°

or

r = 0.370 m

Now,

The tension (T) can be calculated as

ΣF(y) = 0

or

Tcos18° - mg  = 0

or

T = mg / cos18.8°

on substituting the values, we have

T = (2kg x 9.8m/s²) / cos18°

or

T = 20.60 N

Now, applying the equilibrium condition in horizontal direction. we have

\Sigma F_x = ma_c = Tsin\theta = 0

also, the centripetal acceleration a_c=\frac{v}{r}

on substituting the values, we get

m(v² / r) = Tsin18°

v = (rTsin18° / m)

v = [(1.2m)(20.60 × sin18°) / 2kg]

v = 3.81 m/s

Suppose, the same angular momentum is transferred to two rotating bodies of different moment of inertia , how will you compare t
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

As per the law of conservation of angular momentum, the angular velocity will be higher for the body with a lower moment of inertia and vice versa.

Explanation:

Angular momentum L of a body is given by:

L=I\times \omega

Now when the same angular momentum is transferred to two different bodies with different moment of inertia, the body with a higher moment of inertia will have lower angular velocity and vice versa.

An astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter. Her partner measures the following velocity c
KiRa [710]

Acceleration can be defined as the change of speed in an instant of time, that is

a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}

Here,

v_f = Final velocity

v_i = Initial velocity

\Delta t = Change in time

From this expression we will calculate the requested values replacing the variables in each of the given terms

PART A) The values under this condition are:

v_f = 5.3m/s

v_i = 15m/s

\Delta t = 10.4s

Replacing,

a = \frac{5.3m/s-(15m/s)}{10.4s}

a = -0.93m/s^2

PART B ) The values under this condition are:

v_f = -15m/s

v_i = -5.3m/s

\Delta t = 10.4

Replacing,

a = \frac{-(15m/s)-(-5.3m/s)}{10.4s}

a = -0.93m/s^2

Therefore the acceleration in the second time interval is -0.93m/s^2

PART C) The values under this condition are:

v_f = -15m/s

v_i = 15m/s

\Delta t = 10.4

Replacing,

a = \frac{-15m/s-(15m/s)}{10.4s}

a = -2.9m/s^2

Suppose an object is moving 2.1 m/s north on a river, but the river is flowing to the east at a velocity of 1.2 m/s. What is the
rewona [7]

Answer:

2.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of the object moving north = 2.1 m/s

Velocity of the river moving eastward = 1.2 m/s

The resultant velocity is the vector sum of the velocities of object and river.

Since the directions of velocity of object and river are perpendicular to each other, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is obtained using Pythagoras Theorem.

The velocities are the legs of the right angled triangle and the resultant velocity is the hypotenuse.

The magnitude of the resultant velocity (R) is given as:

R^2=2.1^2+1.2^2\\\\R^2=4.41+1.44\\\\R=\sqrt{5.85}\\\\R=2.4\ m/s

Therefore, the resultant velocity has a magnitude of 2.4 m/s.
