Answer:

* he new moon phase when the position is Sun - Moon - Earth,

* have of the Full Moon when the position is Sun - Earth - Moon,

*All the phases of the moon are governed by the movement of the Moon around the Earth.

Explanation:

In the solar system, the planets revolve around the sun, which is much more massive, in the case of the Earth it is more massive than its satellite, therefore the Moon revolves around the Earth in a period of approximately 28 days.

It is said that the moon is in the new moon phase when the position is Sun - Moon - Earth, so the moon cannot be seen

It is in the phase of the Full Moon when the position is

Sun - Earth - Moon, in this case the moon can be observed by the light reflected from it.

All the phases of the moon are governed by the movement of the Moon around the Earth.

What frequency fapproach is heard by a passenger on a train moving at a speed of 18.0 m/s relative to the ground in a direction

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The frequency is 302.05 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 18.0 m/s

Suppose a train is traveling at 30.0 m/s relative to the ground in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the train whistle is 262 Hz .

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

$f'=f(\dfrac{v+v_{p}}{v-v_{s}})$

Where, f = frequency

v = speed of sound

$v_{p}$ = speed of passenger

$v_{s}$ = speed of source

Put the value into the formula

$f'=262\times(\dfrac{344+18}{344-30})$

$f'=302.05\ Hz$

Hence, The frequency is 302.05 Hz.

How do you know that forces are balanced when static friction acts on an object?

lyudmila [28]

By looking at the acceleration of the object.
In fact, Netwon's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass m of the object and its acceleration:
$\sum F = ma$

So, when static friction is acting on the object, if the object is still not moving we know that all the forces are balanced: in fact, since the object is stationary, its acceleration is zero, and so the resultant of the forces (left term in the formula) must be zero as well (i.e. the forces are balanced).

One of the harmonic frequencies of tube A with two open ends is 576 Hz. The next-highest harmonic frequency is 648 Hz. (a) What

balu736 [363]

(a) 288 Hz

The difference between any two harmonics of an open-end tube is equal to the fundamental frequency, $f_1$ (first harmonic):

$f_{n+1}-f_n = f_1$ (1)

In this problem, we are told the frequencies of two successive harmonics:

$f_n = 576 Hz\\f_{n+1}=648 Hz$

So the fundamental frequency is:

$f_1 = 648 Hz-576 Hz=72 Hz$

Now we know that one of the the harmonics is $f_n=216 Hz$ , so its next highest harmonic will have a frequency of

$f_{n+1}=f_n+f_1 = 216 Hz+72 Hz=288 Hz$

(b) n=4

The frequency of the nth-harmonic is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency:

$f_n=n f_1$ (2)

Since we know $f_n = 288 Hz$ , we can solve (2) to find the number n of this harmonic:

$n=\frac{f_n}{f_1}=\frac{288 Hz}{72 Hz}=4$

(c) 4445 Hz

For a closed pipe (only one end is open), the situation is a bit different, because only odd harmonics are allowed. This means that the frequency of the nth-harmonic is an odd-integer multiple of the fundamental frequency:

$f_n=(2n+1) f_1$ (2)
