Answer:

To first order  f' = f (1 - u/c) where observer and source are separating

f' = (1 + .4) = 70 MHz   so (d) would be correct

The next term would be 1/2 (u/c)^2 = 1/2 * ,4^2 = .08 and the correction would be .08 * 50 = 4 Mhz

Most approximations would use (d).

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 280-Hz sound wave. What is the smallest separation distance b
Annette [7]

Answer:

1.21m

Explanation:

If two speakers are generating a frequency of 280Hz, the smallest separation distance between the speakers that will produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them is also known as the wavelength of the sound wave generated.

Using the expression;

Velocity v = frequency f × wavelength ¶

Given frequency = 280Hz, speed of sound v = 338m/s

Substituting this data's in the expression given to get the wavelength will give;

¶ = v/f

¶ = 338/280

¶ = 1.21m

The smallest separation between the speakers that will produce the interference is 1.21m

When a 25-kg crate is pushed across a frictionless horizontal floor with a force of 200 N, directed 20 below the horizontal, th
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Option E is correct 310N

Explanation:

Given that the force used to push the crate is F = 200N

The force directed 20° below the horizontal

Mass of crate is m = 25kg

Weight of the crate can be determine using

W = mg

g is gravitational constant =9.8m/s²

W = 25×9.8

W = 245 N

Check attachment. For free body diagram and better understanding

Using newton second law along the vertical axis since we want to find the normal force

ΣFy = m•ay

ay = 0, since the body is not moving in the vertical or y direction

N—W—F•Sin20 = 0

N = W+F•Sin20

N = 245+ 200Sin20

N = 245 + 68.4

N = 313.4 N

The normal force is approximately 310 N to the nearest ten

Which interaction of nature depends on the distance through which it acts and is involved in beta decay? a. strong c. electromag
USPshnik [31]

The answer is weak.  The interaction of nature that will depend on the distance through the way it acts and involved in beta decay is the weak interaction or the weak force. This interaction is the responsible for radioactive decay which also plays a significant role in nuclear fission.

You see lightning and 30 seconds later you hear thunder. how far away is the thunderstorm? take the speed of sound to be 339 m/s
Jobisdone [24]
Let the observer be 'd' distance away from the thunderstorm and let light take 't' time to reach the observer
Since the speed of sound and light remains constant in a particular medium, we can use
      Speed = Distance/Time

For light,
   3 x 10^8 = d/t
                t = d/(3 x 10^8)   -1 

For sound,
           339 = d/(t + 30)       -2

Putting value from 1 in 2.
               d = 10^4 m(approx)
