v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

A Explain why the sound produced by the horn of an approaching car
aleksklad [387]
When a car approaches you, the sound waves that reach you have a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency. You hear a sound with a higher pitch. When the car moves away from you, the sound waves that reach you have a longer wavelength and lower frequency.

?? ⬇️

An approaching source moves closer during period of the sound wave so the effective wavelength is shortened, giving a higher pitch since the velocity of the wave is unchanged. Similarly the pitch of a receding sound source will be lowered.

The Doppler effect is an effect observed in light and sound waves as they move toward or away from an observer. One simple example of the Doppler effect is the sound of an automobile horn. Picture a person standing on a street corner. A car approaches, blowing its horn.

Comparing two waves of the same wavelength, a higher frequency is associated with faster movement. Comparing two waves of different wavelengths, a higher frequency doesn't always indicate faster movement, although it can. Waves of different wavelengths can have the same frequency.

The pitch of a sound is our ear's response to the frequency of sound. Whereas loudness depends on the energy of the wave. ... The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency while loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of sound waves.

A proton orbits a long charged wire, making 1.80 ×106 revolutions per second. The radius of the orbit is 1.20 cm What is the wir
Fantom [35]

Answer:

linear charge density = -9.495 × 10^{-34} C/m

Explanation:

given data

revolutions per second = 1.80 × 10^{6}

radius = 1.20 cm

solution

we know that when proton to revolve around charge wire then centripetal force is require to be in orbit of radius around provide by electric force

so

- q × E = m × w² × r     ..................1

- 9 × 10^{9}  × \frac{2*linear\ charge\ density}r} q =  m × w² × r   ............2

and w = \frac{2*\pi}{T}  

w = \frac{d\theta }{dt}

w = 1.80 × 10^{6} × \frac{2*\pi}{1}

w = 11304000 rad/s

so here from equation 2

- 9 × 10^{9}  × \frac{2*linear\ charge\ density}{0.012} 1.80 × 10^{6} =  1.672 × 10^{-27} × 11304000² × 0.0120  

linear charge density = -9.495 × 10^{-34} C/m

10. What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 500 N net force?
Simora [160]

Answer:

0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

We can use the formula [ F = ma ] but solve for "a" since that is what we are looking for.

F = ma

F/m = a

We know the net force and mass so substitute those values and simplify.

500/1000 = 0.5m/s^2

Best of Luck!

Engineers are trying to improve a race car. Their goal is to increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine. Which c
Andru [333]

To increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine, the   mass of the car must be decreased.

<h3>What is Newton's first law of motion</h3>

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest or uniform motion in a straight line will continue in that path unless acted upon by an external force.

The first law is also called the law of inertia because it depends on the mass of the object. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia and more reluctant the object will be to move.

Thus, to increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine, the   mass of the car must be decreased.

a = F/m
