Explain why bicycles have gears in terms of the force-velocity property of muscle.

1 answer:

6 0

2 wheels force is put on the back gear to push a larger gear on front . when pedalling on flat force should be applied on middle to smaller size. However when bike reached a terminal force it rider will move to smaller gear and go faster. If bike is going down hill the force of gravity will mean rider can manage the smallest gear as in fastest speed as Force = Mass × Velocity and the impact of gravity means less force is required as the weight of the bike and rider However the opposite it through for uphill as the rider is going against gravity ..weight and gravity will mean the rider will need to go to the larger gear the slower speed.

There are other factors as in wind and slip stream and type of pedals to maximise the force.

A fire truck emits an 880Hz siren. As the truck approaches an observer on the sidewalk, he perceives the pitch to be 950Hz. Appr

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The pitch that he hears after the truck passes and is moving away is 819.6 Hz.

Explanation:

The pitch that he hears after the truck passes and is moving away can be calculated using the following equation:

$f = f_{0}*\frac{v_{s} \pm v_{o}}{v_{s} \pm v_{f}}$

Where:

$f$ : is the perceived frequency

$f_{0}$ : is the emitted frequency

$v_{s}$ : is the speed of sound = 340 m/s

$v_{o}$ : is the speed of the observer = 0 (he is not moving)

$v_{f}$ : is the speed of the fire truck

First, we need to find the speed of the fire truck. When it approaches the observer we have:

$f = f_{0}*\frac{v_{s} + v_{o}}{v_{s} - v_{f}}$

$950 Hz = 880 Hz*\frac{340 m/s}{340 m/s - v_{f}}$

$v_{f} = 340 m/s - \frac{880 Hz*340 m/s}{950 Hz}$

$v_{f} = 25.05 m/s$

Hence, the speed of the fire truck is 25.05 m/s.

Now, we can calculate the pitch that the observer hears after the truck passes:

$f = f_{0}*\frac{v_{s} - v_{o}}{v_{s} + v_{f}}$

$f = 880 Hz*\frac{340 m/s}{340 m/s + 25.05 m/s}$

$f = 819.6 Hz$

Therefore, the pitch that he hears after the truck passes and is moving away is 819.6 Hz.

I hope it helps you!

The bohr model of the atom addressed the problem of

cupoosta [38]

Rutherford's nuclear model stated that a cloud of negative electrons surround the nucleus however scientists realized that electrons in a cloud around the nucleus of an atom would be attracted to the nucleus, causing the atom to collapse. Thus Bohr's model proposed that electrons were contained in shells and they orbit the nucleus at fixed distances.
