Their average velocity is 0.98 m/s east.

Explanation:

The average velocity of an object is defined as the ratio between the displacement and the time taken:

v=\frac{displacement}{time}

The displacement is a vector connecting the initial point to the final point of motion: so, being displacement a vector, velocity is a vector as well, having the same direction of displacement.

Here, Heather and Matt walk 2.0 km eastward, so their displacement is

d = 2.0 km = 2000 m (east)

While the time they took is

t=34 min \cdot 60 = 2040 s

Therefore, their average velocity is

v=\frac{2000}{2040}=0.98 m/s

And the direction is the same as the displacement (east).

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where v is the wave's speed and \lambda is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz

So, the frequency has not changed.

Every few hundred years most of the planets line up on the same side of the Sun.(Figure 1)Calculate the total force on the Earth
mylen [45]

Answer: 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N

Question 20
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The image distance is 17.56 cm

Explanation:

We have,

Height of light bulb is 3 cm.

The light bulb is placed at a distance of 50 cm. It means object distance is, u =-50 cm

Focal length of the lens, f = +13 cm

Let v is distance between image and the lens. Using lens formula :

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{13}+\dfrac{1}{(-50)}\\\\v=17.56\ cm

So, the image distance is 17.56 cm.
