A speaker fixed to a moving platform moves toward a wall, emitting a steady sound with a frequency of 235 Hz. A person on the pl

atform right next to the speaker detects the sound waves reflected off the wall and those emitted by the speaker. How fast should the platform move, vp, for the person to detect a beat frequency of 4.00 Hz? Take the speed of sound to be 344 m/s.

Answer: 2.9 m/s

Explanation:

The frequency of the beat is 4 Hz

The relative Doppler frequency is 235 + 4 = 239 Hz

We would be solving this question, using the formula for Doppler's effect

f(d) = f(v+vr)/(v-vs), where

F = 235 Hz

F(d) = 239 Hz

v = 344 m/s and vr = vs

239 = 235 (344 + vr) / (344 - vr)

239 ( 344 - vr) = 235 (344 + vr)

82216 - 239 vr = 80849 + 235 vr

82216 - 80849 = 235 vr + 239 vr

1376 = 474 vr

vr = 1376/474

vr = 2.9 m/s

Thus the speed the platform should move is 2.9 m/s

1. What coefficients would balance the following equation?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

D. 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

Explanation:

Chemical reactions involves the chemical combination of two or more substances called REACTANTS to yield other substances called PRODUCTS. However, in accordance with the LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS, the amount of reactants must be equal to that of the products.

To accomplish this, the reaction must be BALANCED. A balanced equation is an equation in which the number of atoms of each element in the reactant side equals the number of atoms in the product side. In this reaction involving Aluminum and Oxygen to give Aluminum oxide as follows:

Al + 02 → Al2O3

A coefficient is used to balance the number of atoms on both sides of the equation as follows:

4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

in what distance can a 1500kg automobile be stopped if the brake is applied when the speed is 20m/s and the coefficient of slidi
natali 33 [55]

1) The braking force is provided by the frictional force, which is given by:

F_f=\mu m g

where

\mu=0.7 is the coefficient of friction

m=1500 kg is the mass of the car

g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration


Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

F_f= (0.7)(1500 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=10301 N


2) The work done by the frictional force to stop the car is equal to the product between the force and the distance d:

W=-F_fd (1)

where we put a negative sign because the force is in the opposite direction of the motion of the car.


3) For the work-energy theorem, the work done by the frictional force is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the car:

\Delta K=K_f -K_i =W (2)

The final kinetic energy is zero, so the variation of kinetic energy is just equal to the initial kinetic energy of the car:

\Delta K=-K_i=-\frac{1}{2}mv^2=-\frac{1}{2}(1500 kg)(20 m/s)^2=-300000 J


4) By equalizing eq. (1) and (2), we find the distance, d:

-K_i = -Fd

d=\frac{K_i}{F}=\frac{300000 J}{10301 N}=29.1 m

A 50-kg man is driving his snowmobile at a constant speed. The engine applies a force of 360 N and the coefficient of kinetic fr
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

134 kg

Explanation:

The snowmobile is moving at constant speed, so the acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F − 360 = 0

F = 360

Friction force equals the normal force times the coefficient of friction:

Nμ = 360

On level ground, the normal force equals the combined weight:

(m + 50)g μ = 360

m + 50 = 360 / (gμ)

m = -50 + 360 / (gμ)

m = -50 + 360 / (9.8 × 0.2)

m ≈ 134 kg

Round as needed.
