Answer: C Plane

Explanation: According to Newton's law, gravitational force is proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Gravitational force depends on mass. The bigger the mass, the more the magnitude of the gravitational force. Since plane is assume to have the highest mass in the options, we can therefore conclude that plane will experience the highest gravitational force.

Which situations might cause two observers (A and B) to measure different frequencies for the same vibrating object? Select the

Alex787 [66]

We want to explain why two different observes may measure different frequencies for the same vibrating object.

We will see that the two correct options are:

Observer A is stationary and Observer B is moving.
Observer A and Observer B are moving at different speeds relative to each other.

Let's assume that the vibrating object is a guitar string. Thus, the string makes a noise, and from that noise, we can estimate the frequency at which the string vibrates.

Now there appears a really cool effect, called the Doppler Effect. It says that the apparent change of frequency is due to the motion of the observer or the source of the frequency (or both).

For example, if you move towards the vibrating string, the perceived frequency will be larger, and you will hear a "higher" sound.

While if you move away from the string, the opposite happens, and you will hear a "lower" sound.

Then the only thing that impacts in how we perceive the frequency is our velocity relative to the source.

So, why do observers A and B measure different frequencies?

The two correct answers are:

Observer A is stationary and Observer B is moving.
Observer A and Observer B are moving at different speeds relative to each other.

Two ropes are attached to either side of a 100.0 kg wagon as shown below. The rope on the right is pulled at an angle 40.0° rela

NikAS [45]

The acceleration of the wagon is found by applying Newton's Second Law of motion.

1. The responses for question 1 are;

x-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately 91.93 N

y-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately 71.135 N

x-component of the tension in the rope on the left is -80.0 N

y-component of the tension in the rope on the left is 0

2. The net force in the x-direction is approximately 11.93 N

3. The net acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction is approximately 0.1193 m/s².

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Mass of the wagon, m = 100.0 kg

Angle of inclination to the horizontal of the rope to the right, θ = 40.0°

Tension in the rope on the right = 120.0 N

Direction in which the rope on the left is pulled = To the west

Tension in the rope on the left = 80.0 N

1. The x and y component of the tension in the rope on the right are;

x-component = 120.0 N × cos(40.0°) ≈ 91.93 N

y-component = 120.0 N × sin(40.0°) ≈ 77.135 N

The x and y component of the tension in the rope on the left are;

x-component = 80.0 N × cos(180°) = -80.0 N

y-component = 80.0 N × sin(180°) = 0.0 N

2. The net force in the horizontal direction, Fₓ, is found as follows;

Fₓ = The x-component of the rope on the left + The x-component of the rope on the right

Which gives;

Fₓ = 91.93 N - 80.0 N = 11.93 N

3. The net acceleration of the block is given as follows;

According to Newton's Second Law of motion, we have;

Force in the horizontal direction, Fₓ = Mass of wagon, m × Acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction, aₓ

Fₓ = m × aₓ

Therefore;

$\displaystyle a_x = \frac{F_x}{m} \approx \frac{11.93 \, N}{100.0 \, kg} = \mathbf{0.1193 \ m/s^2}$

The acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction, aₓ ≈ 0.1193 m/s².
