Physics
1 answer:
baherus [9]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The speed of the baseball is approximately 19.855 m/s

Explanation:

From the question, we have;

The frequency of the microwave beam emitted by the speed gun, f = 2.41 × 10¹⁰ Hz

The change in the frequency of the returning wave, Δf = +3190 Hz higher

The Doppler shift for the microwave frequency emitted by the speed gun which is then reflected back to the gun by the moving baseball is given by 2 shifts as follows;

 \dfrac{\Delta f}{f} = \dfrac{2 \cdot v_{baseball}}{c}

\therefore{\Delta f}{} = \dfrac{2 \cdot v_{baseball}}{c} \times f

Where;

Δf = The change in frequency observed, known as the beat frequency = 3190 Hz

v_{baseball} = The speed of the baseball

c = The speed of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

f = The frequency of the microwave beam = 2.41 × 10¹⁰ Hz

By plugging in the values, we have;

\therefore{\Delta f} = 3190 \ Hz =  \dfrac{2 \cdot v_{baseball}}{3.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s} \times 2.41 \times 10^{10} \ Hz

v_{baseball} = \dfrac{3190 \ Hz \times 3.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s }{2.41 \times 10^{10} \ Hz \times 2} \approx 19.855 \ m/s

The speed of the baseball, v_{baseball} ≈ 19.855 m/s

Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are ____.
Alchen [17]

Answer: The correct answer is balanced force.

Explanation:

Balanced forces are balanced when the forces are acting equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. The balanced forces will not cause change in the speed of the object.

Unbalanced forces are unbalanced when the forces acting on the object are not equal in magnitude. The combined force is the difference between the forces. It will cause the change in the speed of the body.

Therefore, forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are balanced.

What is Acceleration?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. Thus when the velocity ( direction or magnitude) of an object changes, we say that the particle is accelerating. Mathematically it is written as

a= \frac{dv}{dt}

The units of acceleration are m/s²

Acceleration can be positive or negative. If the velocity of an object increases, we call that as positive acceleration and if the velocity of an object decreases, we call that as the negative acceleration.

A 27.4 kg dog is running northward at 2.19 m/s , while a 7.19 kg cat is running eastward at 2.78 m/s . Their 75.7 kg owner has t
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

\| \vec v\| = 0.836\,\frac{m}{s}, \alpha = 71.577^{\textdegree} (Northeast)

Explanation:

Let consider that owner has the resultant direction of the momentums from the dog and the cat. First, the momentum of the owner is:

\|\vec p \| = \sqrt{\left[(27.4\,kg)\cdot \left(2.19\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\right]^{2}+\left[(7.19\,kg)\cdot \left(2.78\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\right]^{2}}

\|\vec p \| = 63.248\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}

The speed of the owner is:

\|\vec v \| = \frac{63.248\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}}{75.7\,kg}

\| \vec v\| = 0.836\,\frac{m}{s}

Lastly, the direction of the owner is:

\alpha = \tan^{-1}\left[\frac{(27.4\,kg)\cdot \left(2.19\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{(7.19\,kg)\cdot \left(2.78\,\frac{m}{s} \right)} \right]

\alpha = 71.577^{\textdegree} (Northeast)

The step by step experiment to determine the cubic expansivity of a liquid
Anit [1.1K]
In accordance with the definition of density as r = m/V, in order to determine the density of matter, the mass and the volume of the sample must be known. The determination of mass can be performed directly using a weighing instrument. The determination of volume generally cannot be performed directly. Exceptions to this rule include · cases where the accuracy is not required to be very high, and · measurements performed on geometric bodies, such as cubes, cuboids or cylinders, the volume of which can easily be determined from dimensions such as length, height and diameter. · The volume of a liquid can be measured in a graduated cylinder or in a pipette; the volume of solids can be determined by immersing the sample in a cylinder filled with water and then measuring the rise in the water level. Because of the difficulty of determining volume with precision, especially when the sample has a highly irregular shape, a "detour" is often taken when determining the density, by making use of the Archimedean Principle, which describes the relation between forces (or masses), volumes and densities of solid samples immersed in liquid: From everyday experience, everyone is familiar with the effect that an object or body appears to be lighter than in air – just like your own body in a swimming pool.

An incident ray strikes a boundary at a 72.5-degree angle, resulting in an angle of refraction of 39.6 degrees. The index of ref
Finger [1]
Refractive index is the ration of sin i to sin r where i is the incident angle and r is the refraction angle. 
Therefore, refractive index = sin 79.5 / sin 39.6
                                           = 1.542
The refractive index may be given by the ratio of refractive index of medium 2 to refractive index of medium 1. 
Therefore, 1.542 = n/1.0003
                            n = 1.5425
                               ≈ 1.54
Medium 2 is sodium chloride, refractive index of 1.54
