Birds can sit on power lines and not get electric shocks because the electricity is always looking for a way to get to the ground. The birds are not touching the ground or anything in contact with the ground, so the electricity will stay in the power line.

For each situation, identify when sound would travel faster and why?
Rudiy27
A. Outside on a summer day, there are less particles that the sound bounces off of (snow and wind absorb the sound)

B. Water, sound travels faster through denser objects. Water has a higher density than air.

C. High air pressure, sound moves faster through matter that is closer together. This can be said because sound can't travel through space. (There is no atmosphere and consistent particles in space for sound to go through)

D. A piece of steel, It's denser than wood and water.

E. 90% nitrogen and 10% helium, nitrogen is denser than helium so it will move faster

Priscilla is driving her car on a busy street and Harvey passes her on his motorcycle. What will happen to the sound from his mo
LiRa [457]

Answer:

the correct answer is A

Explanation:

This is a doppler effect exercise which is the change in frequency due to the relative movement of the sound source and the observer.

          f' = f_o \ \frac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}

where v₀ is the speed of the observer and v_s the speed of the source, the signs correspond when the two are closing in

with this expression let's analyze the different answers

A) True. The observed change is in the frequency, in this case the two are moving away, so the expression that describes the phenomenon is

        f'= f_o \ \frac {v-v_o}{ v+v_s}

In this case, the speed of the source is greater than the speed of the observer, so when the denominator increases faster than the numerator, consequently the frequency must decrease

B) False. The amplitude does not depend on the relative velocity

C) False. The intensity depends on the distance, by or which when increasing the distance the intensity should decrease

D) False. The speed of sound is a constant, if the frequency decreases the wavelength must increase to maintain equality

E) False. The speed of sound depends on the properties of the propagating medium, not on the relative speed of the source and the observer.

Consequently the correct answer is A

A yet-to-be-built spacecraft starts from Earth moving at constant speed to the yet-tobe-discovered planet Retah, which is 20 lig
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The  time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's  frame

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between earth and Retah is  d = 20 \ light \ hours =  20 * 3600 *  c =  72000c \ m

Here c is the peed of light with value c =  3.0*10^8 m/s

The time taken to reach Retah from earth is  t =  25 \ hours  =  25 * 3600 =90000 \ sec

The velocity of the spacecraft is mathematically evaluated  as

     v_s =  \frac{d }{t}

substituting values

   v_s =  \frac{72000 * 3.0*10^{8} }{90000}

    v_s =  2.40*10^{8} \ m/s

The time elapsed in the spacecraft’s frame is mathematically evaluated as

      T  =  t *  \sqrt{ 1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

substituting value

       T  =  90000 *  \sqrt{ 1 -  \frac{[2.4*10^{8}]^2}{[3.0*10^{8}]^2} }

        T = 54000 \ s

=>    T  = 15 \ hours

So  The  time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's  frame
