600

mph

Velocity is the distance traveled in a given time, or

where

is velocity,

is distance and

is time.

Here,

3000

and

5.0

, so

3000

600

Don't forget units. Since the question's data is in miles and hours, the units will be miles per hour, or mph, so

3000

miles

hours

600

miles

hour

600

mph

In one of the original Doppler experiments, a tuba was played at a frequency of 64.0 Hz on a moving flat train car, and a second

wolverine [178]

Answer:

$f_{beat} = 1.64\ Hz$

Explanation:

given,

frequency of tuba.f = 64 Hz

Speed of train approaching, v = 8.50 m/s

beat frequency = ?

using Doppler's effect formula

$f' = f(\dfrac{v}{v-v_s})$

v_s is the velocity of the source

v is the speed of sound, v = 340 m/s

now,

$f' = 64\times (\dfrac{340}{340 - 8.50})$

f' = 65.64 Hz

now, beat frequency is equal to

$f_{beat} = f' - f$

$f_{beat} = 65.64 - 64$

$f_{beat} = 1.64\ Hz$

hence, beat frequency is equal to 1.64 Hz

Mr. Fuller assigned his science class a lab comparing the masses of objects to the nearest gram using a balance. The mass of a p

Tomtit [17]

The scale would need 10 aluminum cubes on one side. Figure out how many paper clips would be needed on the other side to balance this. You have to use more than one aluminum cube because you need to have enough cubes so that you get a whole number mass. 10 cubes gives you a total mass of 27 g for the aluminum.

Suppose a large truck on a hydraulic lift exerts 7,000 N of force on a piston with an area of 0.4 m2. The piston can only suppor

uysha [10]

Pressure is the amount of force per unit area. In formula it is,

P = F ÷ A

P = 7000 N ÷ 0.4 m2

P = 17,500 N/m2

The amount of pressure the truck exerts on the piston is 17,500 N/m2

A description of both speed and direction

julia-pushkina [17]

Speed most often describes acceleration or a high rate of motion. ... As a verb, it means to “move along quickly,” like how you speed around on your bike. Direction is defined as the path that something takes, the path that must be taken to reach a specific place, the way in which something is starting to develop or the way you are facing
