A truck moving at 45 m/s passes a police car moving at 36 m/s in the opposite direction. if the frequency of the siren is 500 Hz

relative to the police car, what is the frequency heard by an observer in the truck after the police car passes the truck

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

A horizontal 745 N merry-go-round of radius

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the merry-goround after 3.62 s is 544J

Explanation:

Given :

Weight w = 745 N

Radius r = 1.45 m

Force = 56.3 N

To Find:

The kinetic energy of the merry-go round after 3.62 = ?

Solution:

Step 1: Finding the Mass of merry-go-round

$m = \frac{ weight}{g}$

$m = \frac{745}{9.81 }$

m = 76.02 kg

Step 2: Finding the Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder

Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I = $0.5 \times m \times r^2$

Substituting the values

Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I

=> $0.5 \times 76.02 \times (1.45)^2$

=> $0.5 \times 76.02\times 2.1025$

=> $79.91 kg.m^2$

Step 3: Finding the Torque applied T

Torque applied T = $F \times r$

Substituting the values

T = $56.3 \times 1.45$

T = 81.635 N.m

Step 4: Finding the Angular acceleration

Angular acceleration , $\alpha = \frac{Torque}{Inertia}$

Substituting the values,

$\alpha = \frac{81.635}{79.91}$

$\alpha = 1.021 rad/s^2$

Step 4: Finding the Final angular velocity

Final angular velocity , $\omega = \alpha \times t$

Substituting the values,

$\omega = 1.021 \times 3.62$

$\omega = 3.69 rad/s$

Now KE (100% rotational) after 3.62s is:

KE = $0.5 \times I \times \omega^2$

KE = $0.5 \times 79.91 \times 3.69^2$

KE = 544J

A centrifuge is used to test space pilots. The centrifuge spins with a centripetal acceleration of 3.04g. If the length of the a

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$approx.= 25\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration (a) is defined as the square of an object's velocity (V^2) divided by the distance of the object from it's point/axis of revolution (r). So:

$a=\frac{V^{2} }{r}$

which allows us to solve for the velocity:

$V=\sqrt{ar}\\ Since: a=3.04g=(3.04)(9.81),r=21;\\V=\sqrt{(3.04)(9.81)(21)} =25.02...$

A circuit is supplied with 30 volts and the total circuit resistance is 3 kΩ. What's the current flowing through the circuit?

Daniel [21]

Answer: The current flowing through the circuit is 0.01A (or 10 mA)

Explanation:

Use Ohm's Law:

$I=\frac{U}{R}$

Given the values of U=30V and R=3000Ohm:

$I=\frac{30 V}{3000 \Omega}=0.01A=10mA$

Sobre un gas contenido en un cilindro provisto de un pistón se realiza un trabajo de 7000 Joules, mediante un proceso isotérmico

natita [175]

Answer:

En un proceso isotérmico, es decir, la temperatura no cambia, el trabajo puede escribirse como:

W = n*R*T*Ln(P1/P2)

Donde P1 es la presión inicial y P2 la presión final.

Donde las cantidades:

n = número de moles

R = constante de los gases ideales

T = temperatura no cambian.

Y sabemos que la ecuación de la energía interna es:

U = C*n*R*T

Donde C es otra constante que depende del gas.

De aca, podemos concluir que ninguna de estas variables cambia en nuestro proceso, por lo que la variación de la energía interna es cero.

U2 - U1 = 0

b) Para el calor cedido o absorbido, la formula básica es:

ΔQ = C*(T2 - T1)

Donde ΔQ es el calor absorbido o cedido por el gas, C es una constante que depende del gas, T2 es la temperatura final del gas y T1 es la temperatura inicial del gas.

Como la temperatura no cambia en el proceso, entonces:

T2 = T1

ΔQ = C*(T2 - T1) = C*0 = 0

No hay calor absorbido ni cedido.

c) Podemos concluir que en un proceso isotérmico la energía interna no cambia, y no hay un intercambio de calor.
