Answer: Wood is an insulator.

Explanation: Conductors are those substances which allow heat and electricity to pass through them.Example: Metals

Insulators are those substances which do not allow heat and electricity to pass through them. Example: wood

Pots and pans should be made of conducting material as the heat needs to be transferred from the burner to the pot and then to the food for cooking.

But the handles should be made from insulators so that they do not become hot and thus we can hold the utensil using the handles without getting burnt.

A radio signal has a frequency of 1.023 x 108 HZ. If the speed of the signal in air is 2.997 x 108m/s, what is the wavelength of

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

2.93 m (which agrees with answer "C" on the list)

Explanation:

Recall that the speed of the wave equals the product of the wave's length times its frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is going to be the quotient of the speed of the signal divided its frequency:

Wavelength = 2.997 10^8 / 1.023 10^8 = 2.93 m

Answer:

The Apollo program or Project Apollo was a series of human spaceflight missions undertaken by the u.S. Devoted to the goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him to earth safely.

Explanation:

Project Apollo or Apollo program was the spaceflight program carried out by the United States of America during the years 1961-1972 using the Apollo spacecraft. This project's main goal was to land a man on the Moon and to safely return him to Earth. This goal was accomplished with the Apollo 11 moon-landing mission on July 20, 1969, when an Apollo Lunar Module (LM) landed on the Moon's surface and the astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the lunar surface while Michael Collins stayed in the command and service module (CSM) in the lunar orbit. On July 24, all three astronauts landed safely on Earth.

This project included three unmanned test flights (Apollo 4 through Apollo 6) and eleven manned flights (Apollo 7 through Apollo 17). All these spaceflight missions were carried out by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and all were launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

Complete Question

A commuter train passes a passenger platform at a constant speed of 39.6 m/s. The train horn is sounded at its characteristic frequency of 350 Hz.

(a)

What overall change in frequency is detected by a person on the platform as the train moves from approaching to receding

(b) What wavelength is detected by a person on the platform as the train approaches?

Answer:

$\Delta f = 81.93 \ Hz$

$\lambda_1 = 0.867 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the train is $v_t = 39.6 m/s$

The frequency of the train horn is $f_t = 350 \ Hz$

Generally the speed of sound has a constant values of $v_s = 343 m/s$

Now according to dopplers equation when the train(source) approaches a person on the platform(observe) then the frequency on the sound observed by the observer can be mathematically represented as

$f_1 = f * \frac{v_s}{v_s - v_t}$

substituting values

$f_1 = 350 * \frac{343 }{343-39.6}$

$f_1 = 395.7 \ Hz$

Now according to dopplers equation when the train(source) moves away from the person on the platform(observe) then the frequency on the sound observed by the observer can be mathematically represented as

$f_2 = f * \frac{v_s}{v_s +v_t}$

substituting values

$f_2 = 350 * \frac{343}{343 + 39.6}$

$f_2 = 313.77 \ Hz$

The overall change in frequency is detected by a person on the platform as the train moves from approaching to receding is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta f = f_1 - f_2$
