Answer:

The correct choice is

A) the sound waves were pushed closer together.

Explanation:

As the ambulance gets closer, the distance between the ambulance and marge decreases and so does the wavelength of the siren observed by marge. As the wavelength decrease and speed remains the same for the siren, the frequency of the siren increases because wavelength, frequency and speed are related as

Frequency = Speed/wavelength

Clearly, the frequency is inversely related to wavelength.

For the wave of light you generated in the Part B, calculate the amount of energy in 1.0 mol of photons with that same frequency

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

2.7 J

Explanation:

The energy of one photon is given by

$E=hf$

where

h is the Planck constant

f is the frequency

For the photons in this problem,

$f=6.8\cdot 10^9 Hz$

So the energy of one photon is

$E_1=(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(6.8\cdot 10^9 )=4.5\cdot 10^{-24} J$

The number of photons contained in 1.0 mol is

$N_A = 6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1}$ (Avogadro number)

So the total energy of $N_A$ photons contained in 1.0 mol is

$E=N_A E_1 =(6.022\cdot 10^{23})(4.5\cdot 10^{-24})=2.7 J$

Two point charges each carrying a charge of + 4.5 E - 6 C are located 4.5 meters away from each other. How strong is the electro

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

0.009 N, repulsive

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we have

$q_1 =q_2 = +4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$ are the two charges

r = 4.5 m is their separation

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(+4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)(4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)}{(4.5 m)^2}=0.009 N$

Moreover, the force is repulsive. In fact, the following rules apply:

- When two charges have same sign, they repel each other

- When two charges have opposite signs, they attract each other

If an oscillating mass has a frequency of 1.25 Hz, it makes 100 oscillations in

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Time, t = 80 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of the oscillating mass, f = 1.25 Hz

Number of oscillations, n = 100

We need to find the time in which it makes 100 oscillations. We know that the frequency of an object is number of oscillations per unit time. It is given by :

$f=\dfrac{n}{t}$
