Answer:

The frequency heard by the motorist is 4313.2 Hz.

Explanation:

let f1 be the frequency emited by the police car and f2 be the frequency heard by the motorist, let v1 be the speed of the police car and v2 be the speed of the motorist and v = 343 m/s be the speed of sound.

because the police car is moving towards the motorist at a higher speed, then the motorist will hear a increasing frequency and according to Dopper effect, that frequency is given by:

f1 =  [(v + v2/(v - v1))]×(f2)

   = [( 343 + 30)/(343 - 36)]×(3550)

   = 4313.2 Hz

Therefore, the frequency heard by the motorist is 4313.2 Hz.

An unknown substance has a mass of 11.9 g . When the substance absorbs 1.071×102 J of heat, the temperature of the substance is
Mashcka [7]

Answer: The most likely identity of the substance is iron.

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed=1.071\times 10^2 Joules

m= mass of substance = 11.9 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water = T_i = 25.0°C

Final temperature of the water = T_f  = 45.0°CChange in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(45-25)^0C=20^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

1.071\times 10^2=11.9\times c\times 20^0C

c=0.45J/g^0C

The specific heat of 0.45 is for iron and thus the substance is iron.

A 50-g chunk of 80 degrees C iron is dropped into a cavity in a very large block of ice at 0 degrees C. Show that 5.5 g of ice w
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

Explanation:

The concept to solve this problem is given by Energy Transferred, the equation is given by,

Q = mc\Delta T

Where,

Q= Energy transferred

m = mass of water

c = specific heat capacity

\Delta T = Temperature change (K or °C)

Replacing the values where mass is 50g and temperature is 80°C to 0°C we have,

Q = mc\Delta T

Q = 50*0.11*(80-0)

Q = 440cal

Then we can calculate the heat absorbed by m grams of ice at 0°C, then

Q_2 = mL = 80*m

How Q_1=Q_2, so

80m=440

m=\frac{440}{80}

m = 5.5g

Then 5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

A 12.0 μF capacitor is charged to a potential of 50.0 V and then discharged through a 265 Ω resistor. A)How long does the capaci
larisa [96]

(a) The time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms.

(b) The time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.

<h3>Time taken to loose half of its charge</h3>

q(t) = q₀e-^(t/RC)

q(t)/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)

0.5q₀/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)

0.5 = e-^(t/RC)

1/2 =  e-^(t/RC)

t/RC = ln(2)

t = RC x ln(2)

t = (12 x 10⁻⁶ x 265) x ln(2)

t = 2.2 x 10⁻³ s

t = 2.2 ms

<h3>Time taken to loose half of its stored energy</h3>

U(t) = Ue-^(t/RC)

U = ¹/₂Q²/C

(Ue-^(t/RC))²/2C = Q₀²/2Ce

e^(2t/RC) = e

2t/RC = 1

t = RC/2

t = (265 x 12 x 10⁻⁶)/2

t = 1.59 x 10⁻³ s

t = 1.59 ms

Thus, the time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms and the time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.
