Answer:

0.24 m

Explanation:

Given:

Wave velocity ( v ) = 360 m / sec

Frequency ( f ) = 1500 Hz

We have to calculate wavelength ( λ ):

We know:

v = λ / t [ f = 1 / t ]

v = λ f

= > λ = v / f

Putting values here we get:

= > λ = 360 / 1500 m

= > λ = 36 / 150 m

= > λ = 0.24 m

Hence, wavelength of sound is 0.24 m.

Answer:

According to the travellers, Alpha Centauri is c) very slightly less than 4 light-years

Explanation:

For a stationary observer, Alpha Centauri is 4 light-years away but for an observer who is travelling close to the speed of light, Alpha Centauri is very slightly less than 4 light-years. The following expression explains why:

v = d / t

where

v is the speed of the spaceship
d is the distance
t is the time

Therefore,

d = v × t

d = (0.999 c)(4 light-years)

d = 3.996 light-years

This distance is very slightly less than 4 light-years.

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular track, r = 79 m

The coefficient of friction, $\mu=0.39$

To find,

The maximum speed of car.

Solution,

Let v is the maximum speed of the car at which it can safely travel. It can be calculated by balancing the centripetal force and the gravitational force acting on it as :

$v=\sqrt{\mu rg}$
