Allen and Jason are chucking a speaker around. On one particular throw, Allen throws the speaker, which is playing a pure tone o

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Doppler's effect of sound .

speaker is the source , Jason is the observer . Source is moving at 10 m /s , observer is moving at 6 m/s .

apparent frequency = $f_o\times\frac{V+v_o}{ V-v_s}$

V is velocity of sound , v₀ is velocity of observer and v_s is velocity of source and f_o is real frequency of source .

Here V = 340 m/s , v₀ is 6 m/s , v_s is 10 m/s . f_o = f

apparent frequency = $f\times \frac{340+6}{340-10}$

= $f\times \frac{346}{330}$

So m = 346 , n = 330 .

A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a) $t=2s$

b) $h_{max}=1024ft$

c) $v_{y}=-256ft/s$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

$v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2$

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

$v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})$

$0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)$

$y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft$

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

$h=-16t^2+64t+960$

$1024=-16t^2+64t+960$

$0=-16t^2+64t-64$

Solving the quadratic equation

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64$

$t=2s$

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

$v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})$

$v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s$

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

$v=-256ft/s$

A closed system consisting of 2 lb of a gas undergoes a process during which the relation between pressure and volume is pVn = c

vazorg [7]

Answer:

V1=2.5ft3

V2=1ft3

n=1.51

Explanation:

PART A:

the volume of each state is obtained by multiplying the mass by the specific volume in each state

V=volume

v=especific volume

m=mass

V=mv

state 1

V1=m.v1

V1=2lb*1.25ft3/lb=2.5ft3

state 2

V2=m.v2

V2=2lb*0.5ft3/lb= 1ft3

PART B:

since the PV ^ n is constant we can equal the equations of state 1 and state 2

P1V1^n=P2V2^n

P1/P2=(V2/V1)^n

ln(P1/P2)=n . ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(P1/P2)/ ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(15/60)/ ln (1/2.5)

n=1.51

How can we use thermal energy to our advantage?

devlian [24]

Answer:

One of the primary advantages of thermal power is that the generation costs are extremely low. No fuel is needed to generate the power, and the minimal energy needed to pump water to the Earth's surface can be taken from the total energy yield.
