A circular track has a radius of 50m.What is the displacement?

1 answer:

5 0

The displacement of a moving object is the straight-line distance between the place it starts from and the place where it stops.

The displacement of anything moving along a circular track depends on how far around it goes before it stops. The greatest displacement it can possibly have is the diameter of the track ... 100m on this particular one ... because that's as far apart as two places on a circle can ever be.

The most interesting case is when the object goes around the circle exactly once. Then it stops at the same place it started from, the distance between the starting point and ending point is zero, and after all that motion, the displacement is zero.

Choose the scenario in which the sound frequency of the waves is higher.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Explanation:

The Dopper Effect is a phenomenon that occur when there is relative motion between an observer and a source of a wave. When this situation occurs, there is an apparent shift in frequency of the wave, as observed by the observer.

The apparent frequency observed by the observer is given by

$f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f$

where

f is the original frequency of the wave

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer (positive if moving towards the source of the wave, negative otherwise)

$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (negative if moving towards from the observer, positive otherwise)

In this problem, we want to find the scenario in which the sound frequency is higher.

We see that in all 4 scenarios, the sound source is moving: this means we have to find the scenario in which the denominator of the equation is smaller.

First of all, we notice the sound source moves towards the observer, $v_s$ is negative, so the denominator is higher: this means that the correct option must be either A or B.

Also, we notice that since $v_s$ is negative, a value larger in magnitude will mean a smaller denominator: therefore, the correct answer will be

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Since this situation will make the denominator of the formula the smallest possible.

Raindrops hitting the side windows of a car in motion often leave diagonal streaks even if there is no wind. Why? Is the explana

labwork [276]

Answer:

because of the raindrop velocity relative of the car has a vertical and horizontal component

Explanation:

The car moves in a <em>horizontal direction </em>relative to the ground. The raindrops fall in the <em>vertical direction</em> relative to the ground.
Their velocity relative to the moving car has both vertical and horizontal components and this is the reason for the diagonal streaks on the side window.
The diagonal streaks on the windshield arise from a different reason.
The drops are pushed off to one side of the windshield because of air resistance.

Alona [7]

Answer:

The smallest radius will be four (4) times the initial radius

Explanation:

The car maintains a constant angular speed. According to Newton's Second Law F = m a

1. $F_{r}=m*A_{n}$

2. $A_{n}=\frac{v^2}{R_{p}}$

Replacing 2 in 1

3. $F_{r}=m*\frac{v^2}{R_{p}}$

Where:

Fr= Frictional force

Rp= Initial Radius

An= Centripetal Acceleration

M= Mass

V= Velocity

Also we have that:

4. $F_{r}=\mu *W=\mu*m*g$

μ= Coefficient of friction between the car and the surface

M= Mass

W= Weight

G= Gravity

r is cleared from equation 3

5. $R_{p}=m*\frac{v^2}{F_{r}}$

Replacing 4 in 5

6. $R_{p}=m*\frac{v^2}{\mu*m*g}$

Simplifying

7. $R_{p}=\frac{v^2}{\mu*g}$

Now we have a new velocity equal to twice the initial velocity, We replace it by 2v in equation 7

8. $R_{n}=\frac{(2v)^2}{\mu*g}$

Computing

9. $R_{n}=\frac{4v^2}{\mu*g}$

Replacing 5 in 9

$R_{n}=4*R_{p}$

Electrical resistance is measured in

devlian [24]

Resistance is the ratio of

(voltage between two points in the circuit)
divided by
(current between the same points).

It's expressed in units of Ohms, so the correct choice is "none of the above".
