Answer:

It passes through a step-down transformer.

Explanation:

Electric current in power lines must be stepped down before they enter our homes because they carry a very high voltage.

The voltage can destroy appliances that have very low voltage.

In this regard, a step down transformer is used to achieve this effect.
The transformer brings the voltage to a level fit to consumers to use.
When voltage is stepped down, appliances can work perfectly.

A river flows due east at 1.60 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

part (a) $v\ =\ 10.42\ at\ 81.17^o$ towards north east direction.

part (b) s = 46.60 m

Explanation:

Given,

velocity of the river due to east = $v_r\ =\ 1.60\ m/s.$
velocity of the boat due to the north = $v_b\ =\ 10.3\ m/s.$

part (a)

River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,

Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are $90^o$

Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

$\therefore v\ =\ \sqrt{v_r^2\ +\ v_b^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{1.60^2\ +\ 10.3^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 10.42\ m/s.$

Let $\theta$ be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.

Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore. $\therefore Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{v_b}{v_r}\\\Rightarrow Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ Tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\ \right )\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ 81.17^o$

part (b)

Width of the shore = w = 300m

total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken

Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river. $\therefore w\ =\ v_bt\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{w}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{300}{10.3}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ 29.12 s$

Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river $\therefore s\ =\ u_rt\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 1.60\times 29.12\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 46.60\ m$

A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 600 Hz sound generator to a 1.0-m-long rope and whirling it aroun

nalin [4]

Answer:

Therefore the the highest frequency is 620Hz and lowest frequency is 580Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Source Frequency fs=600Hz

Length r=1.0m

RPM=100 rpm

The speed of the generator is calculated as:

$v_{s}=rw\\v_{s}=r(2\pi f)$

Substitute the given values

$v_{s}=(1.0m)2\pi (\frac{100}{60}rev/s )\\v_{s}=10.47m/s$

For approaching generator the frequency is calculated as:

$f_{+}=\frac{f_{s}}{1-\frac{v_{s}}{v} }\\f_{+}=\frac{600Hz}{1-\frac{10.47m/s}{343m/s} } \\f_{+}=620Hz$

On the other hand,for the receding generator,Doppler's effect is expressed as:

$f_{-}=\frac{f_{s}}{1+\frac{v_{s}}{v} }\\f_{-}=\frac{600Hz}{1+\frac{10.47m/s}{343m/s} } \\f_{-}=580Hz$

Therefore the the highest frequency is 620Hz and lowest frequency is 580Hz

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of a 0.56 kg ball moving with a constant velocity of 26 m/s (about 60 mi/h)

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The de Broglie wavelength of a 0.56 kg ball moving with a constant velocity of 26 m/s is 4.55×10⁻³⁵ m.

<h3>De Broglie wavelength:</h3>

The wavelength that is incorporated with the moving object and it has the relation with the momentum of that object and mass of that object. It is inversely proportional to the momentum of that moving object.

λ=h/p

Where, λ is the de Broglie wavelength, h is the Plank constant, p is the momentum of the moving object.

Whereas, p=mv, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the moving object.

Therefore, λ=h/(mv)

λ=(6.63×10⁻³⁴)/(0.56×26)

λ=4.55×10⁻³⁵ m.

The de Broglie wavelength associated with the object weight 0.56 kg moving with the velocity of 26 m/s is λ=4.55×10⁻³⁵ m.
