Answer:f_{0} = 692.82Hz

Explanation: This question of ours is based on Doppler effect.The Doppler effect states that<em> if a source is producing sound at a specific frequency to an observer and there is a relative motion between the observer and the source, the frequency of sound perceived by the observer  will be different from that of the original from the source. </em>

This represented mathematically below as

f_{0} =\frac{v +v_{0} }{v -v_{s} }  * f

where

f_{0} = observed frequency = ?

f = original frequency of sound source = 650Hz

v = speed of sound in air = 343m/s

v_{0} = velocity of observer relative to the source = 0m/s ( the observer is standing, thus meaning he is not moving)

v_{s} = velocity of sound source relative to the observer = 21.2m/s

by putting all of these in the formulae, we have that

f_{0} = \frac{343 + 0}{343 -21.2} *650\\\\\\f_{0} = \frac{343}{321.8} * 650\\\\\\f_{0} = 692.98Hz

There are two blocks: one large one initially at rest, and a smaller one, initially moving to the right withsome speed. The smal
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity of small block be v .

by applying conservation of momentum we can find velocity of common mass

25 v = 75 V , V is velocity of common mass after collision.

V = v / 3

For reaching the height we shall apply conservation of mechanical energy

1/2 m v² = mgh

1/2  x 75 x V² = 75 x g x 10

V² = 2g x 10

v² / 9 = 2 x 9.8 x 10

v² = 9 x 2 x 9.8 x 10

v = 42 m /s

small block must have velocity of 42 m /s .

Impulse by small block on large block

= change in momentum of large block

= 75 x V

= 75  x 42 / 3

= 1050 Ns.

Shari uses the data in the table to predict how her weight on Venus would compare with her weight on Earth.
spin [16.1K]

Answer :  <em>Her weight is lower on Venus because the acceleration due to gravity is lower.</em>

Explanation :

Venus is also called as Earth's twin. This is because both the mass and the size of Earth and Venus are almost same. The acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8\ m/s^2 while on Venus is 8.87\ m/s^2.

So, when Shari measure her weight on Venus she found her weight is lower on Venus. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is lower on the surface of Venus as compared to the Earth.

Since,    w=mg

i.e. weight depends on g.

<em>So, correct prediction is (b)</em>

An electric motor does 900j of work for 8 hours. Calculate the power used​
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

0.031 W

Explanation:

The power used is equal to the rate of work done:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

P is the power

W is the work done

t is the time taken to do the work W

In this problem, we have:

W = 900 J is the work done by the motor

t = 8 h is the time taken

We have to convert the time into SI units; keeping in mind that

1 hour = 3600 s

We have

t=8\cdot 3600 =28,800 s

And therefore, the power used is

W=\frac{900}{28800}=0.031 W

you throw an object straight up at 15m/s. how fast is it going when it gets back to the height from which you threw it?
laiz [17]
At the same speed because it will slow down as it approaches the peak then speed up as it goes down again


it will be going 15m/s when it gets to the same height if we neglect air resistance and the object doesn't hit something
