Answer:

Option C, increases and decreases

Explanation:

When an object making noise approaches you, the wave frequency increases leading to a higher pitch. Conversely, when it moves away from you or retreats, the wave frequency decreases leading to a lower pitch. This can be observed in ambulance sirens.

A spider begins to spin a web by first hanging from a ceiling by his fine, silk fiber. He has a mass of 0.025 kg and a charge of

Rasek [7]

Answer:

a) (5.59 × 10³) N/C

b) 0.226 N directed away from the spider.

Explanation:

a) Electric field, E, felt as a result of point charge, Q, at a distance, d away is given by

E = kQ/d²

So, magnitude of the electric field due to the charge on the second spider at the position of the first spider

Q = 4.2 µC = 4.2 × 10⁻⁶ C

k = Coulomb's constant = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C

d = 2.6 m

E = (8.99 × 10⁹ × 4.2 × 10⁻⁶)/2.6²

E = 5.59 × 10³ N/C

b) Tension in the silk fiber above the spider is the net force due to the weight of spider one and the force of repulsion due the two charges.

Force due to the two charges = Eq

where q now represents the charge of the first spider at the first point, feeling the electric field calculated in (a)

F = 5.59 × 10³ × 3.4 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.01901 N directed upwards. (That is, F = + 0.019 N)

Weight of the spider = mg = 0.025 × 9.8 = 0.245 N directed downwards. (That is, W = -0.245 N)

Net force, T = mg - F = 0.245 - 0.019 = 0.226 N (that is, 0.226 N, directed upwards, away from the spider).

A force of 44 N will stretch a rubber band 88 cm (0.080.08 m). Assuming that Hooke's law applies, how far will aa 11-N forc

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The rubber band will be stretched 0.02 m.

The work done in stretching is 0.11 J.

Explanation:

Force 1 = 44 N

extension of rubber band = 0.080 m

Force 2 = 11 N

extension = ?

According to Hooke's Law, force applied is proportional to the extension provided elastic limit is not extended.

F = ke

where k = constant of elasticity

e = extension of the material

F = force applied.

For the first case,

44 = 0.080K

K = 44/0.080 = 550 N/m

For the second situation involving the same rubber band

Force = 11 N

e = 550 N/m

11 = 550e

extension e = 11/550 = 0.02 m

The work done to stretch the rubber band this far is equal to the potential energy stored within the rubber due to the stretch. This is in line with energy conservation.

potential energy stored = $\frac{1}{2}ke^{2}$

==> $\frac{1}{2}* 550* 0.02^{2}$ = 0.11 J
