Two cars honking at the same frequency of 800 Hz are moving toward a pedestrian standing at the curb. One car is moving with spe

ed 25 m/s, and the second car is moving at 21 m/s. What is the frequency of the beats heard by the pedestrian? Take the speed of sound as 343 m/s.

Answer:

The frequency of the beats heard by the pedestrian is 9.33 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency of the two cars, F = 800 Hz

speed of sound in air, V = 343 m/s

The sound wave length, λ = ?

λ = V / F

λ = 343 / 800

λ = 0.42875 m

The frequency of the car moving at 25 m/s heard by the pedestrian

f₁ = v₁ / λ

f₁ = 25 / 0.42875

f₁ = 58.31 Hz

The frequency of the car moving at 21 m/s heard by the pedestrian

f₂ = v₂ / λ

f₂ = 21 / 0.42875

f₂ = 48.98 Hz

The beat frequency  = f₁ - f₂

                                  = 58.31 - 48.98

                                  = 9.33 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the beats heard by the pedestrian is 9.33 Hz

The magnetic field direction and direction of induced current in a wire are related by the right hand grip rule. Since the magnetic field was upwards, the thumb points upwards and the fingers curl around it. When viewed from above, it is seen as a current flowing in the counter clockwise direction.

An green hoop with mass mh = 2.8 kg and radius rh = 0.17 m hangs from a string that goes over a blue solid disk pulley with mass
vladimir2022 [97]
The mass of the hoop is the only force which is computed by:F net = 2.8kg*9.81m/s^2 = 27.468 N 
the slow masses that must be quicker are the pulley, ring, and the rolling sphere. 
The mass correspondent of M the pulley is computed by torque τ = F*R = I*α = I*a/R F = M*a = I*a/R^2 --> M = I/R^2 = 21/2*m*R^2/R^2 = 1/2*m 
The mass equal of the rolling sphere is computed by: the sphere revolves around the contact point with the table. So using the proposition of parallel axes, the moment of inertia of the sphere is I = 2/5*mR^2 for spin about the midpoint of mass + mR^2 for the distance of the axis of rotation from the center of mass of the sphere. I = 7/5*mR^2 M = 7/5*m 
the acceleration is then a = F/m = 27.468/(2.8 + 1/2*2 + 7/5*4) = 27.468/9.4 = 2.922 m/s^2

In a cyclic process, a gas performs 123 J of work on its surroundings per cycle. What amount of heat, if any, transfers into or
Margaret [11]

Answer:

123 J transfer into the gas

Explanation:

Here we know that 123 J work is done by the gas on its surrounding

So here gas is doing work against external forces

Now for cyclic process we know that

\Delta U = 0

so from 1st law of thermodynamics we have

dQ = W + \Delta U

dQ = W

so work done is same as the heat supplied to the system

So correct answer is

123 J transfer into the gas
