Answer:

Tangential

Explanation: This is a kind of force which act on a moving body in such a way that it is curved in the direction of the path of the body. This implies that when the velocity of the object is positive, the acceleration will be negative.

A trumpet creates a sound wave that has a wave speed of 350m/s and a wavelength of 0.8 m . What is the frequency of the sound wa

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The frequency of sound wave created by trumpet is 437.5Hz

Explanation:

Given

the speed of sound wave = 350 m $s^{-1}$

the wavelength of sound wave = 0.8 m

the frequency of sound wave = ?

All the waves have same relationship among wavelength, frequency and speed, which is given by the equation:

v = fλ, where

v is speed of the wave

f is frequency of the wave

λ is wavelength of the wave

therefore frequency of sound wave is given by

f = v/λ

= 350m $s^{-1}$ /0.8m

= 437.5 $s^{-1}$

= 437.5Hz (since 1 $s^{-1}$ = 1 Hz (Hertz)

Hence the frequency of sound wave created by trumpet is 437.5Hz

Examine the cross-sectional slice of a stem of a mint plant. Which statement most specifically describes mint?

Maslowich

The available options are:

Mint is a dicot.

Mint is a monocot.

Mint is an angiosperm.

Mint is a bulb plant.

Answer:

Mint is a dicot.

Explanation:

Given the fact that Mint is considered to be a member of Lamiaceae, an angiosperm plant which is characterized by typically having leaves that consist of reticulate vacation and appears like veins in structure. It also has a seed that contains two cotyledons.

Hence, it is considered a DICOT PLANT due to these characteristics. The botanical name of Mint is referred to as Mentha arvensis.

The students observe that the pitches of the sounds from the fire truck and the

Blababa [14]

So, option 3 or the ambulance sound waves have more waves and shorter wavelength is the correct reason for ambulance siren having higher pitch compared to fire truck siren

Explanation:

Pitch of any sound wave is determined as the clarity in frequency of notes or the number of times a cycle is repeated for a single second. So pitch is similar to frequency. And frequency is the measure of number of complete cycles in a second. So if the ambulance siren has higher pitch compared to siren of fire truck. Then this means the frequency of ambulance siren is greater than the fire truck siren. As the frequency is more, then from the given options, choice 3 is correct. The ambulance siren have more waves and shorter wavelength. As more the frequency or number of waves, lesser or shorter is the wavelength of sound wave from ambulance.

The hot glowing surfaces of stars emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It is a good approximation to assume e =

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Rigel, 2.7x10^32W, T = 11,000K

But L = 4pR²sT⁴

L = 2.7x10^32W, T = 11,000K, s= 5.67 x 10^-8, R= radius in meters

Rigel parallax, p = 0.00378 arc sec

Substituting the various values and making R the subject of the formula

R² = L/(4psT⁴)

R² = 2.7x10^32/(4 x 0.003878 x 5.67x10^-8 x (11,000)⁴)

R² = 2.7x10^32/1.2877x10^7

R² = 2.096761668 x 10^25

R = 4.579041021 x 10^12meters

(b)

Procyon B, 2.1x10^23W, T = 10,000K

But L = 4pR²sT⁴

L = 2.1x10^23W, T = 10,000K, s= 5.67 x 10^-8, R= radius in meters

Procyon B parallax, p = 0.00284 arc sec

R² = 2.1x10^23/(4 x 0.00284 x 5.67x10^-8 x (10,000)⁴)

R² = 2.1x10^23/(6.441 x 10^6)

R² = 3.26036 x 10^16

R = 1.80565 x 10^8 meters

(c) The radius of Rigel is given as 4.579041021 x 10^12meters and the radius of Procyon B is given by 1.80565 x 10^8 meters shows the remarkable difference between a super-giant star(Rigel) and a white dwarf star (Procyon B)

The radius of the sun a red star is 6.96 x 10^8meters which shows a certain level of resemblance with the size of a dwarf white star Procyon B.

The sun is larger than Procyon B as estimated above.
