Answer:

Only option A is correct

Explanation:

From the concept of Doppler effect, only speed matters. Thus, the faster a vehicle is moving, the closer together the sound waves get compressed and the higher the frequency. For example, for a very fast vehicle traveling at the speed of sound; the compressions are all right on top of each other. Thus, faster speed means closer compressions and higher frequencies. Hence, option only option A must be true because X is a higher frequency and so it must be going faster. The distance to the person will affect the volume but will not the pitch so Option B is not correct. Option C too is not correct because It doesn’t matter whether you are speeding up or slowing down, it only matters who is going faster. For example, from option c concept, if truck X was going 10 m/h and speeding up while truck Y was going 50 mph and slowing down, it would not meet the requirement that X has a higher frequency because only actual speed matters, not what is happening to that speed. Thus only option A is the correct answer

A beam of light strikes one face of a window pane with an angle of incidence of 30.0°. The index of refraction of the glass is 1
natka813 [3]

Answer:

(a). The angle of refraction is 19.26°.

(b). That is proved that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle of incidence = 30.0°

Index of reflection of glass = 1.52

(a). We need to calculate the angle of refraction for the ray inside the glass

Using snell's law

\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\mu

\sin r=\dfrac{\sin i}{\mu}

Put the value into the formula

\sin r=\dfrac{\sin 30}{1.52}

r=\sin^{-1}(0.329)

r=19.26^{\circ}

(b). We know that,

The incident ray and emerging ray  is equal then the ray will be parallel.

We need to prove that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

Using formula for emerging ray

\dfrac{\sin e}{\sin r}=\mu

\sin e=\sin r\times \mu

Put the value into the formula

\sin e=0.3289\times 1.52

e=\sin^{-1}(0.499)

e=29.9\approx 30^{\circ}

So, \sin i=\sin e

This is proved.

Hence, (a). The angle of refraction is 19.26°.

(b). That is proved that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

If a 3.5 gram ping pong ball were traveling to the right horizontally at 12 m/s, and a larger 12 g super ball were thrown direct
algol [13]

Answer:

v = 14.32 m/s

Explanation:

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, both the momentum and kinetic energy of the system are conserved. Since the two balls are in the same direction of motion before collision, then;

m_{1} u_{1} + m_{2} u_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2}) v

0.035 × 12 + 0.120 × 15 = (0.035 + 0.120) v

0.420 + 1.800 = (0.155) v

2.22 = 0.155 v

⇒ v = \frac{2.22}{0.155}

      = 14.323

The velocity of the balls after collision is 14.32 m/s.
