A stationary source S generates circular outgoing waves on a lake. The wave speed is 5.0 m/s and the crest-to-crest distance is

2.0 m. A person in a motorboat heads directly toward S at 3.0 m/s. To this person, the frequency of these waves is:

Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:4 Hz

Explanation:

Speed of wave v=5 m/s

crest to crest distance \lambda =2 m

velocity of observer v_0=3 m/s

actual frequency f=\frac{velocity}{\lambda }

f=\frac{5}{2}=2.5 Hz

Apparent frequency f'=f(\frac{v+v_0}{v})

f'=2.5\times \frac{5+3}{5}

f'=4 Hz

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

I hope it is no too late

Explanation:

hmmm,

In a gas, for example, the molecules are traveling in random directions at a variety of speeds - some are fast and some are slow. ... If more energy is put into the system, the average speed of the molecules will increase and more thermal energy or heat will be produced.

6 A test of a driver's perception/reaction time is being conducted on a special testing track with level, wet pavement and a dri
mylen [45]

Answer:

a. 10.5 s b. 6.6 s

Explanation:

a. The driver's perception/reaction time before drinking.

To find the driver's perception time before drinking, we first find his deceleration from

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 0 m/s (since he stops), a = deceleration of driver and s = distance moved by driver = 385 ft = 385 × 0.3048 m = 117.35 m

So, a = v² - u²/2s

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = v² - u²/2s

a = (0 m/s)² - (22.35 m/s)²/2(117.35 m)

a =  - 499.52 m²/s²/234.7 m

a = -2.13 m/s²

Using a = (v - u)/t where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 0 m/s (since he stops), a = deceleration of driver = -2.13 m/s² and t = reaction time

So, t = (v - u)/a

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

t = (0 m/s - 22.35 m/s)/-2.13 m/s²

t = - 22.35 m/s/-2.13 m/s²

t = 10.5 s

b. The driver's perception/reaction time after drinking.

To find the driver's perception time after drinking, we first find his deceleration from

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 30 mi/h = 30 × 1609 m/3600 s = 13.41 m/s, a = deceleration of driver and s = distance moved by driver = 385 ft = 385 × 0.3048 m = 117.35 m

So, a = v² - u²/2s

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = v² - u²/2s

a = (13.41 m/s)² - (22.35 m/s)²/2(117.35 m)

a = 179.83 m²/s² - 499.52 m²/s²/234.7 m

a = -319.69 m²/s² ÷ 234.7 m

a = -1.36 m/s²

Using a = (v - u)/t where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 30 mi/h = 30 × 1609 m/3600 s = 13.41 m/s, a = deceleration of driver = -1.36 m/s² and t = reaction time

So, t = (v - u)/a

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

t = (13.41 m/s - 22.35 m/s)/-1.36 m/s²

t = - 8.94 m/s/-1.36 m/s²

t = 6.6 s

sladkih [1.3K]

formula for gravitational P.E =mgh

Solution:-mass=3kg height=5metre and gravity=9.8 or 10m/sec² so P.E=mgh , 3×9.8×5=147kgm²/sec²
