Answer:

The correct solution is option A "10 meters".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Wave X,

Frequency,

$F_x=200 \ H_z$

Wavelength

$\lambda_x=35 \ m$

Wave Y,

Frequency,

$F_y=700 \ Hz$

Let its wavelength = $\lambda_y$

As we know,

⇒ $v=f \lambda$

For both waves, medium is same then

⇒ $v_x=v_y$

⇒ $f_x \lambda_x=f_y \lambda_y$

then,

⇒ $\lambda_y=\frac{f_x \lambda_x}{f_y}$

On substituting the estimated values in the above equation, we get

⇒ $=\frac{200\times 35}{700}$

⇒ $=\frac{7000}{700}$

⇒ $=10 \ m$

The space shuttle travels at a speed of about 7.6times10^3 m/s. The blink of an astronaut's eye lasts about 110 ms. How many foo

sveta [45]

Answer:

It covers distance of 9.15 football fields in the said time.

Explanation:

We know that

$Distance=Speed\times Time$

Thus distance covered in blinking of eye =

$Distance=7.6\times 10^{3}m/s\times 110\times 10^{-3}s\\\\Distance=836 meters$

Thus no of football fields= $\frac{936}{91.4}=9.15Fields$

Calculate the percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean given that the density of ice is 916.3kg/m3 an

pogonyaev

Answer:

The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%

Explanation:

Let V be the total volume of the iceberg

Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged

According to Archimedes principle,

weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)

Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g

Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g

We then have

ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g

(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%

Hope this Helps!!!!

a) Calculate the magnitude of displacement of the car in 40 seconds. b) During which part of the journey was the car acceleratin

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a) 600 meters

b) between 0 and 10 seconds, and between 30 and 40 seconds.

c) the average of the magnitude of the velocity function is 15 m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to find the magnitude of the car's displacement in 40 seconds,we need to find the area under the curve (integral of the depicted velocity function) between 0 and 40 seconds. Since the area is that of a trapezoid, we can calculate it directly from geometry:

$Area \,\,Trapezoid=(\left[B+b]\,(H/2)\\displacement= \left[(40-0)+(30-10)\right] \,(20/2)=600\,\,m$

b) The car is accelerating when the velocity is changing, so we see that the velocity is changing (increasing) between 0 and 10 seconds, and we also see the velocity decreasing between 30 and 40 seconds.

Notice that between 10 and 30 seconds the velocity is constant (doesn't change) of magnitude 20 m/s, so in this section of the trip there is NO acceleration.

c) To calculate the average of a function that is changing over time, we do it through calculus, using the formula for average of a function:

$Average\,of\,f(x)=\frac{1}{b-a} \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx$

Notice that the limits of integration for our case are 0 and 40 seconds, and that we have already calculated the area under the velocity function (the integral) in step a), so the average velocity becomes:

$Avearage=\frac{600\,\,m}{40\,\,s}= 15\,\,\frac{m}s}$

Two charges, qA and qB, are separated by a distance, d, and exert a force, F, on each other. Analyze Coulomb's law and answer th

maria [59]

Answer: a. F doubled

b. F reduced by one-quarter i.e

1/4*(F)

c. 1/9*(F)

d. F increased by a factor of 4 i.e 4*F

e. F reduces 3/4*(F)

Explanation: Coulombs law states the force F of attraction/repulsion experience by two charges qA and qB is directly proportional to thier product and inversely proportional to the square of distance d between them. That is

F = k*(qA*qB)/d²

a. If qA is doubled therefore the force is doubled since they are directly proportional.

b. If qA and qB are half, that means thier new product would be qA/2)*qB/2 =qA*qB/4

Which means the product of charge is divided by 4 so the force would be divided by 4 too since they are directly proportional.

c. If d is tripped that is multiplied by 3. From the formula new d would be (3*d)²=9d² but force is inversely proportional to d² so instead of multiplying by 9 the force will be divided by 9

d. If d is cut into half that is divided by 2. The new d would be (d/2)²=d²/4. So d² is divided by 4 so the force would be multiplied by 4

e. If qA is tripled that is multiplied by 3. F would be multiplied by 3 also, if at the same time d is doubled (2*d)²= 4*d² . Force would be divided by 4 at same time. So we have,

3/4*F
