A boat travels at 30 mph for a huge, solid cliff that is about 3,000 meters away. When the horn on the boat makes a toot, you ca

n hear the initial sound directly from the horn and also an echo from the cliff wall some time later. How does the frequency of the echo compare with the frequency of the horn before the ship moved?
Group of answer choices

The frequency of the echo is slightly increased.

The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased.

The frequency is unchanged.

Not enough information to determine.

Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased

Explanation:

Given

speed of boat =30\ mph

cliff is 3000\ m away

when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat

But as soon as boat starts moving  the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases

and we know time \propto \frac{1}{frequency}

therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.

a level physics moments question please explain how the answer to (a) is 7.5N and the answer to (b) is 5.7N​
Mkey [24]

Explanation:

a) Sum of moments about the pivot:

∑τ = Iα

(10 kg × 10 m/s²) (0.3 m) + F (-0.4 m) = 0

F = 75 N

b) Sum of moments about the pivot:

∑τ = Iα

(20 N) (0.3 m) + (20 N) (-0.2 m) + F (-0.7 m) = 0

6 Nm − 4 Nm + F (-0.7 m) = 0

F = 2.9 N

A student swings a container of water in a vertical circle of radius 1.0 m. Calculate the minimum speed of the container so that
12345 [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration requirement must equal gravity at the top of the circle

mg = mv²/R

  v = √Rg

  v = √(1.0(9.8))

  v = 3.1304951...

  v = 3.1 m/s

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t
Art [367]

The total gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder would simply be the sum of the pressure exerted by water and pressure exerted by the oil.

The formula for calculating pressure in a column is:

P = ρ g h

Where,

P = gauge pressure

ρ = density of the liquid

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height of liquid

Adding the two pressures will give the total:

P total = (ρ g h)_water + (ρ g h)_oil

P total = (1000 kg / m^3) (9.8 m / s^2) (0.30 m) + (900 kg / m^3) (9.8 m / s^2) (0.4 - 0.30 m)

P total = 2940 Pa + 882 Pa

P total = 3,822 Pa

 

Answer:

 The total gauge pressure at the bottom is 3,822 Pa.

A student drops an object from a fourth floor window the velocity of the objects is measured at 39.28m/s 3 seconds later what is
quester [9]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

When an object drops down towards earth from certain height than it comes down with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 which is constant throughout the dropping until the falling objects hits the ground and coming to rest.

Which is the best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope?
azamat
The best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope is the neutron-to-proton ratio of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of elements having the same number of protons however they don't have the same number of neutrons. Each isotope of an element will have different values of mass number.
