Answer:

0.26086 Hz

Explanation:

solution:

The relative speed of the wave is:

v = 4.9+1.1 = 6 m/s

the frequency is:

f = v/λ

= 6/23

= 0.26086 Hz

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is used to form a real image 1.0 m away from the lens. How far from the lens is the obje

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem, we have

f = +20 cm=+0.20 m (the focal length is positive for a converging lens)

q = +1.0 m (the image distance is positive for a real image)

Solving the equation for p, we find

$\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{0.20 m}-\frac{1}{1 m}=4 m^{-1}\\p=\frac{1}{4 m^{-1}}=0.25 m$

Answer:

0.625 c

Explanation:

Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.

In the context,

The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

Speed of rocket 1 with respect to rocket 2 :

$u' = \frac{0.4 c- (-0.3 c)}{1-\frac{(0.4 c)(-0.3 c)}{c^2}}$

$u' = \frac{0.7 c}{1.12}$

$u'=0.625 c$

Therefore, the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2 is 0.625 c
