Paula has gone 1 km east as the total displacement. The total distance would be 7 km. Why? Well, the difference between displacement and distance is displacement is directional which is why it’s included in velocity and not speed. However, distance is more broad and not as specific.

Which situations might cause two observers (A and B) to measure different frequencies for the same vibrating object? Select the
Alex787 [66]

We want to explain why two different observes may measure different frequencies for the same vibrating object.

We will see that the two correct options are:

  • <em>Observer A is stationary and Observer B is moving.</em>
  • <em>Observer A and Observer B are moving at different speeds relative to each other.</em>

<em />

Let's assume that the vibrating object is a guitar string. Thus, the string makes a noise, and from that noise, we can estimate the frequency at which the string vibrates.

Now there appears a really cool effect, called the Doppler Effect. It says that the apparent change of frequency is <u>due to the motion of the observer or the source of the frequency (or both).</u>

For example, if you move towards the vibrating string, the perceived frequency will be larger, and you will hear a "higher" sound.

While if you move away from the string, the opposite happens, and you will hear a "lower" sound.

Then the only thing that impacts in how we perceive the frequency is our velocity relative to the source.

So, why do observers A and B measure different frequencies?

The two correct answers are:

  • <em>Observer A is stationary and Observer B is moving.</em>
  • <em>Observer A and Observer B are moving at different speeds relative to each other.</em>

Formula for the distance (d) is given by d = rate*time. For example if you are traveling at 60 mph for 3 hours the distance trav
babunello [35]

Explanation:

Distance covered by the particle is given by:

Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)                

Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph

Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph

It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.

Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)

Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t

The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.

60t+10-50t\ge100

10t\ge90

t\ge9\ h

So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.

Imagine that you are working as a roller coaster designer. You want to build a record breaking coaster that goes 70.0 m/s at the
Rzqust [24]

Wow !  This is not simple.  At first, it looks like there's not enough information, because we don't know the mass of the cars.  But I"m pretty sure it turns out that we don't need to know it.

At the top of the first hill, the car's potential energy is

                                  PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

At the bottom, the car's kinetic energy is

                                 KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²) .

You said that the car's speed is 70 m/s at the bottom of the hill,
and you also said that 10% of the energy will be lost on the way
down.  So now, here comes the big jump.  Put a comment under
my answer if you don't see where I got this equation:

                                   KE = 0.9  PE

        (1/2) (mass) (70 m/s)² = (0.9) (mass) (gravity) (height)     

Divide each side by (mass): 

               (0.5) (4900 m²/s²) = (0.9) (9.8 m/s²) (height)

(There goes the mass.  As long as the whole thing is 90% efficient,
the solution will be the same for any number of cars, loaded with
any number of passengers.)

Divide each side by (0.9):

               (0.5/0.9) (4900 m²/s²) = (9.8 m/s²) (height)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²):

               Height = (5/9)(4900 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

                          =  (5 x 4900 m²/s²) / (9 x 9.8 m/s²)

                          =  (24,500 / 88.2)  (m²/s²) / (m/s²)

                          =        277-7/9    meters
                                  (about 911 feet)

How do solar panels work with conduction, convection and radiation?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<em>In the case of a solar thermal panel we are trying to heat above the ambient temperature so conduction and convection will work against us by taking heat from the panel to the out- side world. ... The sun (at 6000 C surface temperature) is hotter than the solar panel so the panel will get hot due to the solar radiation.</em>

A copper wire and a tungsten wire of the same length have the same resistance. What is the ratio of the diameter of the copper w
spayn [35]

Answer:

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}

Explanation:

Resistance: Resistance is defined to the ratio of voltage to the electricity.

The resistance of a wire is

  1. directly proportional to its length i.eR\propto l
  2. inversely proportional to its cross section area i.eR\propto \frac{1}{A}

Therefore

R=\rho\frac{l}{A}

ρ is the resistivity.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

The resistivity of copper(ρ₁) is 1.68×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

The resistivity of tungsten(ρ₂) is 5.6×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

For copper:

A=\pi r_1^2 =\pi (\frac{d_1}{2} )^2

R_1=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 }

\Rightarrow (\frac{d_1}{2})^2=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }......(1)

Again for tungsten:

R_2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2 }

\Rightarrow (\frac{d_2}{2})^2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }........(2)

Given that R_1=R_2   and    l_1=l_2

Dividing the equation (1) and (2)

\Rightarrow\frac{ (\frac{d_1}{2})^2}{ (\frac{d_2}{2})^2}=\frac{\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }}{\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }}

\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )^2=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}   [since R_1=R_2   and    l_1=l_2]

\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}}

\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{3}{10}}

\Rightarrow d_1:d_2=\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}
