A jogger hears a car alarm and decides to investigate. While running toward the car, she hears an alarm frequency of 872.10 Hz.

Nata [24]

Answer:

v = 4.18 m/s

Explanation:

given,

frequency of the alarm = 872.10 Hz

after passing car frequency she hear = 851.10 Hz

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

speed of the jogger = ?

speed of the

$v_f = \dfrac{872.10-851.10}{2}$

$v_f =10.5\ Hz$

v_o = 872.1 - 10.5

$V_0 = 861.6\ Hz$

The speed of jogger

$v = \dfrac{v_1 \times 343}{v_0}-343$

$v = \dfrac{872.1 \times 343}{861.6}-343$

v = 4.18 m/s

What must be true about a surface in order for diffuse reflection to occur?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

carpet

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.

The structure of carpet's surface is as shown. Thus it shows large amount of diffuse reflection.

A piece of rocky debris in space has a semi major axis of 45.0 AU. What is its orbital period?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Complete Question

Planet D has a semi-major axis = 60 AU and an orbital period of 18.164 days. A piece of rocky debris in space has a semi major axis of 45.0 AU. What is its orbital period?

Answer:

The value is $T_R = 11.8 \ days$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The semi - major axis of the rocky debris $a_R = 45.0\ AU$

The semi - major axis of Planet D is $a_D = 60 \ AU$

The orbital period of planet D is $T_D = 18.164 \ days$

Generally from Kepler third law

$T \ \ \alpha \ \ a^{\frac{3}{2} }$

Here T is the orbital period while a is the semi major axis

$\frac{T_D}{T_R} = \frac{a^{\frac{3}{2} }}{a_R^{\frac{3}{2} }}$

=> $T_R = T_D * [\frac{a_R}{a_D} ]^{\frac{3}{2} }$

=> $T_R = 18.164 * [\frac{ 45}{60} ]^{\frac{3}{2} }$

=> $T_R = 11.8 \ days$

What is the gauge pressure of the water right at the point p, where the needle meets the wider chamber of the syringe? neglect t

Helen [10]

Missing details: figure of the problem is attached.

We can solve the exercise by using Poiseuille's law. It says that, for a fluid in laminar flow inside a closed pipe,

$\Delta P = \frac{8 \mu L Q}{\pi r^4}$

where:

$\Delta P$ is the pressure difference between the two ends

$\mu$ is viscosity of the fluid

L is the length of the pipe

$Q=Av$ is the volumetric flow rate, with $A=\pi r^2$ being the section of the tube and $v$ the velocity of the fluid

r is the radius of the pipe.

We can apply this law to the needle, and then calculating the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. For our problem, we have:

$\mu=0.001 Pa/s$ is the dynamic water viscosity at $20^{\circ}$

L=4.0 cm=0.04 m

$Q=Av=\pi r^2 v= \pi (1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 \cdot 10 m/s =3.14 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3/s$

and r=1 mm=0.001 m

Using these data in the formula, we get:

$\Delta P = 3200 Pa$

However, this is the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. But the end of the needle is at atmosphere pressure, and therefore the gauge pressure (which has zero-reference against atmosphere pressure) at point P is exactly 3200 Pa.
