Answer: observed frequency (f') = 511.97Hz

Explanation: when there is a relative motion between an observer and a sound source, the frequency of sound wave perceived by the observer is different from the frequency of originally sent out by the sound source.

This is called Doppler effect and given mathematically below as

f' = (v + v') /(v- vs) * f

f' = observed frequency

v = speed of sound in air = 340m/s

v' = velocity of observer= 45m/s

vs = velocity of source relative to observer = - 36m/s ( the negative sign came as a result of the fact that the velocity of the source is in opposite direction to the velocity of the observer)

f = original frequency of sound source = 500Hz

f' = (340 + 45)/{340 -(-36)} * 500

f' = 385/ (340 + 36) * 500

f' = 385/ 376 * 500

f' = 1.0239 * 500

f' = 511.97Hz

The intensity of sunlight falling on the earth is about 1.4 kw/m2 (before any gets absorbed by our atmosphere). at what rate doe
xxTIMURxx [149]
The area of the Earth (Ae) that is irradiated by is given by:

Ae = 4πRe^2, where Re = Distance from Sun to Earth
Substituting;
Ae = 4π*(1.5*10^8*1000)^2 = 2.827*10^23 m^2

On the Earth, insolation (We) = Psun/Ae

Therefore,
Psun (Rate at which sun emits energy) = We*Ae = 1.4*2.827*10^23 = 3.958*10^23 kW = 3.958*10^26 W

For this case we have that by definition, the kinetic energy is given by the following formula:

k= \frac {1} {2} * m * v ^ 2

Where:

m: It is the mass

v: It is the velocity

According to the data we have to:

m = 100 \ kg\\v = 9 \frac {m} {s}

Substituting the values we have:

k = \frac {1} {2} * (100) * (9) ^ 2\\k = \frac {1} {2} * (100) * 81\\k = 50 * 81\\k = 4050

finally, the kinetic energy is 4050 \ J

A dipole of moment 0.5 e·nm is placed in a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 8 times 104 N/C. What is the magnitude of
Over [174]

Answer:

The net torque is zero

Explanation:

Let's assume that the dipole is compose of two equal but oposite charges e, and it cam be represented by a rod with one end having a charge e and the other end with a charge of -e. Notice that the dipole is parallel to the electric field thus the force felt by both of the charges will be parallel to the electric field. This means that there will be no components of the forces that are perpendicular to the rod which is a requirement for it to have a torque.
