From a vantage point very close to the track at a stock car race, you hear the sound emitted by a moving car. You detect a frequ

ency that is 0.86 times as small as the frequency emitted by the car when it is stationary. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the speed of the car?

Answer:

55.8 m/s

Explanation:

$f$ = Actual frequency of sound emitted by car

$f'$ = frequency observed when the car moves = $(0.86)f$

$V$ = Speed of sound = 343 m/s

$v$ = Speed of car

Frequency observed is given as

$f' = \frac{Vf}{V+v}$

$(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\294.98 + (0.86) v = 343 \\v = 55.8 ms^{-1}$

A convex security mirror has a radius of curvature of 12.0 cm. What is the magnification of a pare 3.0 m from the mirror?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

magnification will be -0.025

Explanation:

We have given the radius of curvature = 12 cm

And object distance = 3 m

So focal length $f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm$

Now for mirror we know that $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}$

So $\frac{1}{0.06}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{v}$

$16.66-0.333=\frac{1}{v}$

v = 0.750 m

Now magnification of the mirror is $m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{-0.750}{3}=-0.025$

A parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates of radius R is being charged by a battery, which provides a constant current. At

NikAS [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the magnetic field.

According to the information, the magnetic field INSIDE the plates is,

$B=\frac{1}{2} \mu \epsilon_0 r$

Where,

$\mu =$ Permeability constant

$\epsilon_0 =$ Electromotive force

r = Radius

From this deduction we can verify that the distance is proportional to the field

$B \propto r$

Then the distance relationship would be given by

$\frac{r}{R} = \frac{B}{B_{max}}$

$r =\frac{B}{B_{max}} R$

$r = \frac{0.5B_{max}}{B_{max}}R$

$r = 0.5R$

On the outside, however, it is defined by

$B = \frac{\mu_0 i_d}{2\pi r}$

Here the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance, that is

$B \not\propto r$

Then,

$\frac{r}{R} = \frac{B_{max}{B}}$

$r = \frac{B_{max}{B}}R$

$r = \frac{B_{max}{0.5B_{max}}}R$

$r = 2R$

A rod of length Lo moves iwth a speed v along the horizontal direction. The rod makes an angle of (θ)0 with respect to the x' ax

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

From the question we are told that

The length of the rod is $L_o$

The speed is v

The angle made by the rod is $\theta$

Generally the x-component of the rod's length is

$L_x = L_o cos (\theta )$

Generally the length of the rod along the x-axis as seen by the observer, is mathematically defined by the theory of relativity as

$L_xo = L_x \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

=> $L_xo = [L_o cos (\theta )] \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

Generally the y-component of the rods length is mathematically represented as

$L_y = L_o sin (\theta)$

Generally the length of the rod along the y-axis as seen by the observer, is also equivalent to the actual length of the rod along the y-axis i.e $L_y$

Generally the resultant length of the rod as seen by the observer is mathematically represented as

$L_r = \sqrt{ L_{xo} ^2 + L_y^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{[ (L_o cos(\theta) [\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }\ \ ]^2+ L_o sin(\theta )^2)}$

=> $L_r= \sqrt{ (L_o cos(\theta)^2 * [ \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } ]^2 + (L_o sin(\theta))^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{(L_o cos(\theta) ^2 [1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} ] +(L_o sin(\theta))^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{L_o^2 * cos^2(\theta) [1 - \frac{v^2 }{c^2} ]+ L_o^2 * sin(\theta)^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{ [cos^2\theta +sin^2\theta ]- \frac{v^2 }{c^2}cos^2 \theta }$

=> $L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }$

Hence the length of the rod as measured by a stationary observer is

$L_r = L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }$

Generally the angle made is mathematically represented

$tan(\theta) = \frac{L_y}{L_x}$

=> $tan {\theta } = \frac{L_o sin(\theta )}{ (L_o cos(\theta ))\sqrt{ 1 -\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$

=> $tan(\theta ) = \frac{tan\theta}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$
