Answer:
the frequency heard by the observer is equal to 2677 Hz
Explanation:
given,
velocity of the observer = 17 m/s
speed of the sound = 343 m/s
velocity of the source = 0 m/s
frequency emitted from the source = 2550 Hz

velocity of observer is negative as it is approaching the source. f = 2676.38 Hz ≈ 2677 Hz
hence, the frequency heard by the observer is equal to 2677 Hz
This is the Doppler effect.
1. As the sound leaves the horn the sound waves are at first close to each other and as they move outwards they become further apart. The closer the sound waves are the louder the noise.
As the car gets the closer the sound waves get closer, so the horn becomes louder.
2. As the horn moves away, the sound waves become less frequent, causing the pitch to get lower.
Explanation:
The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years.
Light year is the unit of distance covered by the heavenly bodies. 1 light year is equal to :
So,
We need to convert 4.218 light-years barley corns.
Since, 1 barleycorn = 1/3 inch


So, the nearest star to the Earth is at a distance of
. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
a) ΔV = 25.59 V, b) ΔV = 25.59 V, c) v = 7 10⁴ m / s, v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴ ,
v/c% = 2.33 10⁻²
Explanation:
a) The speed they ask for electrons is much lower than the speed of light, so we don't need relativistic corrections, let's use the concepts of energy
starting point. Where the electrons come out
Em₀ = U = e DV
final point. Where they hit the target
Em_f = K = ½ m v2
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
e ΔV = ½ m v²
ΔV =
mv²/e (1)
If the speed of light is c and this is 100% then 1% is
v = 1% c = c / 100
v = 3 10⁸/100 = 3 10⁶6 m/ s
let's calculate
ΔV =
ΔV = 25.59 V
b) Ask for the potential difference for protons with the same kinetic energy as electrons
K_p = ½ m v_e²
K_p =
9.1 10⁻³¹ (3 10⁶)²
K_p = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ J
we substitute in equation 1
ΔV = Kp / M
ΔV = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹
ΔV = 25.59 V
notice that these protons go much slower than electrons because their mass is greater
c) The speed of the protons is
e ΔV = ½ M v²
v² = 2 e ΔV / M
v² =
v² = 49,035 10⁸
v = 7 10⁴ m / s
Relation
v/c = 
v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴
