Answer:

96 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial velocity ( u ) = 4 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 8 s

Let Acceleration be " a ".

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 4 ) / 8

= 16 / 8

a = 2 m/s²

Let displacement be " s ".

Formula : -

s = ut + at² / 2

s = ( 4 ) ( 8 ) + ( 2 ) ( 8² ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 64 ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 32 )

= 32 + 64

s = 96 m

Therefore, it travels 96 m in time 8 s.

Which of these is an example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy?

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Ceiling fan

Explanation:

Ceiling fan is a perfect and typical example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy.

In most systems, energy is usually transformed from one form to another. Energy is not created neither is it destroyed. We know this by virtue of law of conservation of energy.

The ceiling fan is powered by electrical energy from an outlet.
The energy from the outlet is used to drive the blades of the fan and set them into motion.
This is mechanical energy.

"Midnight" means looking away from the Sun. But in 6 months from April to October the earth goes halfway around the Sun. So midnight in April and midnight in October are exactly opposite directions.

Answer:

A) 1568.60 Hz

B) 1437.15 Hz

Explanation:

This change is frequency happens due to doppler effect

The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source

$f_(observed)=\frac{(c+-V_r)}{(C+-V_s)} *f_(emmited)\\$

where

C = the propagation speed of waves in the medium;

Vr= is the speed of the receiver relative to the medium,(added to C, if the receiver is moving towards the source, subtracted if the receiver is moving away from the source;

Vs= the speed of the source relative to the medium, added to C, if the source is moving away from the receiver, subtracted if the source is moving towards the receiver.

A) Here the Source is moving towards the receiver(C-Vs)

and the receiver is standing still (Vr=0) therefore the observed frequency should get higher

$f_(observed)=\frac{C}{C-V_s} *f_(emmited)\\=\frac{343}{343-15}*1500\\ =1568.60 Hz$

B)Here the Source is moving away the receiver(C+Vs)

and the receiver is still not moving (Vr=0) therefore the observed frequency should be lesser

$f_(observed)=\frac{C}{C+V_s} *f_(emmited)\\=\frac{343}{343+15}*1500\\ =1437.15 Hz$
