Answer: $13.4\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given

The frequency of the source is $f_o=960\ Hz$

Change in frequency is $75\ Hz$

Speed of sound $c=343\ m/s$

Suppose $v$ is the velocity of the observer

Doppler frequency is given by

$f'=f_o\left(\dfrac{c\pm v_o}{c\pm v_s}\right)$

Here, the source is at rest

While approaching source, frequency is

$f_1=f_o\left(\dfrac{c+v}{c}\right)\quad \ldots(i)$

While leaving, frequency is

$f_2=f_o\left(\dfrac{c-v}{c}\right)\quad \ldots(ii)$

The difference in the frequency is

$\Rightarrow f_1-f_2=75\\\\\Rightarrow f_o\left(\dfrac{c+v}{c}\right)-f_o\left(\dfrac{c-v}{c}\right)=75\\\\\Rightarrow f_o\left(\dfrac{2v}{c}\right)=75\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{75\times 343}{2\times 960}\\\\\Rightarrow v=13.39\approx 13.4\ m/s$

Identify solar, wind, nuclear, and tidal power as nonrenewable or renewable energy

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Renewable energy: Tidal, solar and wind

Non renewable energy: nuclear power

Explanation:

Renewable energy is any energy in which its source is always replenished or renewed.

While non renewable energy sources cannot be replenished or renewed immediately because of its limited availability of resources.

Most renewable energy sources are natural sources.

Solar, tidal and wind energy are renewable energy known as clean energy. While nuclear energy is a non renewable energy in which its source of energy is fuel ( uranium e.t.c)

The volume of a cylindrical tin can with a top and a bottom is to be 16π cubic inches. If a minimum amount of tin is to be used

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

h = 4 in

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

volume of tin $= 16 \pi$

we know that

volume of cylinder is $v = \pi r^2 h$

so,

$16 \pi = \pi r^2 h$

$16 = r^2 h$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{16}{h}}$

construct formula for surface area

$S = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$

$S = \frac{2v}{h} + 2 \sqrt{v \pi h}$

minimize the function wrt h

$S' = \frac{2v}{h^2} + \sqrt{\frac{v \pi}{h} = 0$

solving for h we have

$h = [\frac{4 v}{\pi}]^{1/3}$

we kow $v = 16 \pi$ so

h = 4 in

A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours (86,400 s) is called a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronous

Olegator [25]

Answer:

42244138.951 m

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of orbit from center of earth

M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

m = Mass of Satellite

The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed

Speed = Distance / Time

The distance is the perimeter of the orbit

$v=\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}$

The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force

$m\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2}{r}=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2=6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42244138.951\ m$

The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m
