So, option 3 or the ambulance sound waves have more waves and shorter wavelength is the correct reason for ambulance siren having higher pitch compared to fire truck siren

Explanation:

Pitch of any sound wave is determined as the clarity in frequency of notes or the number of times a cycle is repeated for a single second. So pitch is similar to frequency. And frequency is the measure of number of complete cycles in a second. So if the ambulance siren has higher pitch compared to siren of fire truck. Then this means the frequency of ambulance siren is greater than the fire truck siren. As the frequency is more, then from the given options, choice 3 is correct. The ambulance siren have more waves and shorter wavelength. As more the frequency or number of waves, lesser or shorter is the wavelength of sound wave from ambulance.

A worker on the roof of a house drops his 0.58 kg hammer, which slides down the roof at constant speed of 6.69 m/s. The roof mak

shusha [124]

Answer:

17.3 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a hammer is 0.58 kg

Velocity with which the hammer slides is 6.69 m/s at constant speed.

The roof makes an angle of 18 ◦ with the horizontal, and its lowest point is 18.2 m from the ground. We need to find the horizontal distance traveled by the hammer between the time is leaves the roof of the house and the time it hits the ground. Firstly, we will find the time taken by the hammer when it reaches ground in vertical direction.

$y=y_0+v_ot +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Putting all the values,

$0=18.2+6.69t-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\\\\-4.9t^2+6.69t+18.2=0\\\\t=\dfrac{-6.69+\sqrt{6.69^{2}-4\cdot-4.9\cdot18.2}}{2\cdot-4.9}, \dfrac{-6.69-\sqrt{6.69^{2}-4\cdot-4.9\cdot18.2}}{2\cdot-4.9}\\\\t=-1.36\ s\ \text{and}\ t=2.72\ s$

Neglecting negative value,

To find horizontal distance, multiply 2.72 s with the horizontal component of velocity.

$d=2.72\times 6.69\times \cos(18)\\\\d=17.3\ m$

Two charged objects separated by some distance attract each other. If the charges on both objects are doubled with no change in

beks73 [17]

Answer:

a. the force between them quadruples

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, the charges on both objects are doubled, so

$q_1' = 2q_1\\q_2' = 2q_2$

While the distance does not change, so the new force will be

$F'= k \frac{(2q_1)(2q_2)}{r^2}=4 (k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=4 F$

so, the force will quadruple.

Riders on a ferris wheel move in a circle with a speed of 4.0 m/s. As they go around, they

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: D = 16m

Explanation: given values: a = 2 m/s2, v = 4 m/s
In this case we have to determine the diameter of the Ferris wheel.
Diameter of circle is given as: D = 2.r.
First we have to find radius of wheel. The best way to find that is using the centripetal acceleration equation: a = v2/r
Plug in values in above equation to find radius: 2 m/s2 = (4 m/s)2/r 2 m/s2 = (16 m2/s2)/r r = (16 m2/s2)/2 m/s2
r = 8.0m
Diameter of Ferris wheel is:
D = 2.r.
D = 2.8m
D = 16m

Elements in a period have _____________.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Elements in a period have wide range of chemical properties.

Explanation:

Period is the row of chemical elements's arrangement in the periodic table. It is numbered from 1 to 7.
In period as we move towards right the atomic number of element constantly increases along with the change in chemical properties.
As we move from left towards right in period, the valence electron number regularly increases in every element.
This valence electron differs the reactivity of the elements.

A strong man and a weak man are trying to carry a ladder . How should they carry it in such a way that the weak person feels les

dsp73

Answer:

The strong person should carry the ladder at the front end and the weak person should carry it at the back end.

Explanation:

this is because in such a case the strong person has to pull the ladder whereas the weak person at the back end have to push the ladder. In such case it is easier to push because the weak person can use the force of gravity of his own body for pushing the ladde.

However in case of pulling the ladder one has to overcome his own gravity to pull the heavy object
