Answer:

η = 58.8%

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.

$W =F*d$

where:

W = work [J] (units of joules)

F = force = 294 [N]

d = distance = 5 [m]

$W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\$

Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.

$efficiency = W_{done}/W_{required}\\efficiency = 1470/2500\\efficiency = 0.588 = 58.8%$

Answer:

Here the source is moving away from the observer so frequency will be smaller than the actual frequency and since the speed is increasing so the frequency is decreasing with time so correct answer is

D) lower than the original pitch and decreasing as he falls.

Explanation:

As we know by the Doppler's effect of sound we have

so we will have

$f = f_o(\frac{v}{v + v_s})$

so here when source moves away from the observer with a some speed then the frequency of the sound observed by the observer is smaller than the actual frequency

Here we know that the speed of the source is increasing with time as the source is falling under gravity

So we can say that the pitch of the sound will decrease with time

Answer the questions.

a) The wind is generated because there are different values of pressure in the amtophera. That is, it is generated due to a pressure difference between two atmospheric points. Generally the movement is performed when the air travels from the highest pressure point, to the lowest pressure point. This is also a direct cause of different types of wind speeds.

b) If the cloud moves from one direction to another, it will indicate that from the starting point the pressure is higher, and the point towards which it is directed, the pressure is lower. If we place this on a Cartesian plane with reference to the cardinal points, we can know the approximate place or area where the pressures are different.

maria [59]

Answer:

995.12 N/C

Explanation:

R = 9 cm = 0.09 m

σ = 9 nC/m^2 = 9 x 10^-9 C/m^2

r = 9.1 cm = 0.091 m

q = σ x 4π R² = 9 x 10^-9 x 4 x 3.14 x 0.09 x 0.09 = 9.156 x 10^-10 C

E = kq / r^2

E = ( 9 x 10^9 x 9.156 x 10^-10) / (0.091 x 0.091)

E = 995.12 N/C
