Answer: 187.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Time period T=27.5\ s

The time period of a pendulum is given by

\Rightarrow T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

where L=height of tower

Put values

\Rightarrow 27.5=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{9.8}}\\\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{27.5^2\times 9.8}{(2\pi )^2}=187.68\ m

Which of the following is true about light?
ale4655 [162]
Light travels in waves AND in bundles called "photons".

It's hard to imagine something that's a wave and also a bundle.
But it turns out that light behaves like both waves and bundles.

If you design an experiment to detect waves, then it responds to light.

And if you design an experiment to detect 'bundles' or particles, then
that one also responds to light.

A milliammeter has an internal resistance of 5ohms and
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Rs = 0.02008 Ω = 20.08 mΩ

Explanation:

The range of an ammeter can be increased by connecting a small shunt resistance to it in a series combination. This shunt resistance can be calculated by the following formula:

Rs = \frac{I_gR_g}{I - I_g}

where,

R_s = value of shunt resistance = ?

I_g = current range of ammeter = 20 mA = 0.02 A

I = Required range of ammeter = 5 A

R_g = Resistance of ammeter = 5 ohms

Therefore,

R_s = \frac{(0.02\ A)(5\ ohms)}{5\ A-0.02\ A}

<u>Rs = 0.02008 Ω = 20.08 mΩ</u>

What frequency (in Hz) is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 116 km/h and emitting a steady 950 Hz so
Arte-miy333 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler Effect, defined as the change in apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. Mathematically it can be written as

f_{obs} = f(\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})

Here,

f_s= Frequency of the source

v_w = Speed of the sound

v_s= Speed of source

Now the velocity we have that

v_s = 116km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

v_s = 32.22m/s

Then replacing our values,

f_{obs} = (950Hz) (\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-32.22m/s})

f_{obs} = 1047.86Hz

Therefore the frequency of the observer is 1047.86Hz
