A loudspeaker in a parked car is producing sound whose frequency is 20 510 Hz. A healthy young person with normal hearing is sta

nding nearby on the sidewalk but cannot hear the sound because the frequency is too high. When the car is moving, however, this person can hear the sound. (a) Is the car moving toward or away from the person

Answer:

The car must be moving away from the person.

Explanation:

From Doppler's Effect, we know that when a sound source moves towards a stationary observer, the apparent frequency of that sound increases. While the apparent frequency decreases if the source moves away from the stationary observer.

The audible range of frequencies for a human ear is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Therefore, in order for the sound of a loud speaker to be audible for the person, the frequency must decrease below 20000 Hz.

<u>Due to this reason, the car must be moving away from the person.</u>

Suppose the wavelength of the light is 550 nm . How much farther is it from the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to t
Bogdan [553]

Complete question:

Suppose the wavelength of the light is 550 nm . How much farther is it from the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to the left slit than it is from the dot to the right slit? Fringe C is the central maximum.

Check the image uploaded.

Answer:

The difference is 1100 nm

Explanation:

A bright fringe creates constructive interference, the wavelength is always in a multiple form.

At center fringe, the difference is (550 nm)(0) = 0

For the first maximum, the difference is (550 nm)(1) = 550 nm

For the second maximum, the difference = (550 nm)(2) = 1100 nm

Thus, for nth maxima, the difference is (550 nm)(n)

From the image uploaded, C is located on the second maximum, therefore the difference is given as  (550 nm)(2) = 1100 nm

Therefore, the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to the left slit is 1100 nm

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the reason for the acceleration month that the coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of satic frictionExplanation:

This exercise uses Newton's second law with the condition that the acceleration is zero, by the time the body begins to slide. At this point the balance of forces is

    fr- w || = 0

The expression for friction force is that it is proportional to the coefficient of friction by normal.

    fr = μ N

When the system is immobile, the coefficient of friction is called static coefficient and has a value, this is due to the union between  the surface, when the movement begins some joints are broken giving rise to coefficient of kinetic friction less than static.  

In consequence a lower friction force, which is why the system comes out of balance and begins to accelerate.

      μ kinetic <μ static

  In all this movement the normal with changed that the angle of the table remains fixed.

Consequently, the reason for the acceleration month that the coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of satic friction

What is the purpose of the magnetic field in a cathode ray tube?
andre [41]

Answer:

In order to determine if the cathode ray consisted of charged particles, Thomson used magnets and charged plates to deflect the cathode ray. He observed that cathode rays were deflected by a magnetic field in the same manner as a wire carrying an electric current, which was known to be negatively charged.
