Answer:

Explanation:

The Law of Momentum Conservation, just like the Law of Thermodynamics about energy, says that momentum is neither created nor destroyed but is conserved, meaning it has to go somewhere. If the girl pushes the boy and they are both on friction free skates, then the girl will also react to the push. Momentum Conservation says

(m_gv_g+m_bv_b)_b=(m_gv_g+m_bv_b)_a In words this says that the mass times the velocity of the girl plus the mass times the velocity of the boy before the push has to equal the mass times velocity of the girl plus the mass times velocity of the boy after the push. Mathematically,

(40.0*0+50.0*0)_b=(40.0v+50.0*-3)_a

The left side of this is equal to 0. On the right, I made the velocity of the boy negative. We could have made it positive and it wouldn't have mattered. The sign will only be important to the result because if the sign of the girl's velocity is the same as the boy's, she is moving in the same direction as he is; if it's different, she is moving in the opposite direction.

0 = 40.0v - 150.0 and

-40.0v = -150.0 so

v = 3.75 This means that when she pushes the boy one way, mometum is conserved and she moves in the opposite direction and at a greater velocity (because her mass is less). Physics is a wonderful thing, isn't it!?

Why did boy (the observer) hear the pitch of the sound change? What does this tell us about the frequency of the sound? Support
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

<u>because of the doppler effect</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember</em>, the doppler effect refers to the changes in sound (frequency of sound) observed by a person who is in a position relative to the wave source.

In this example, we notice as the train comes closer to the boy, the sound becomes louder also increasing the pitch slightly, the doppler effect sets in when the train passes the boy because the boy notices a decrease in the pitch of the moving train.

We learn from the change in the observed sound of the train that the frequency of the sound is determined by the distance of the observer from the wave source.

In other words, the closer the source of the sound to the observer; the faster it travels to the observer, however, the farther it is; the lesser it is; the greater the sound heard.

Two loudspeakers are placed side by side and driven by the same source at 500 Hz. A listener is positioned in front of the two s
Oliga [24]

Answer:

0.68 m

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in air is a product of frequency and wavelength. Taking speed of sound in air as 340 m/s

V=frequency*wavelength

Then wavelength is given by 350/500=0.68 m

Therefore, to repeat constructive interference at the listener's ear, a distance of 0.68 m is needed

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The summary of the given statement is explained below throughout the explanation segment.

Explanation:

  • Drain certain surfaces throughout warm water of such soap during the very first sink. This same sanitizing of bacteria would not destroy whether grime would be in the direction.
  • Exfoliate the plates throughout plain water during the secondary drain. As with grime, the residual soap could avoid the kill off bacteria and viruses by the sanitizer.
