Two motorcycles are traveling in opposite directions at the same speed when one of the cyclists blasts her horn, which has frequ

ency of 544 Hz. The other cyclist hears the frequency as 563 Hz. If the speed of sound in air is 344 m/s, what is the speed of the motorcycles

Answer:

6ms^-1

Explanation:

Given that the frequency difference is

( 563- 544) = 19

So alsoThe wavelength of each wave is = v/f = 344 /544

and there are 19 of this waves

So it is assumed that each motorcycle has moved 0.5 of this distance

in one second thus the speed of the motorcycles will be

=> 19/2 x 344/544 = 6.0 m/s

A 0.245 kg ball is thrown straight up from 2.07 m above the ground. Its initial vertical speed is 8.00 m/s. A short time later,

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is $4.975 \: Joules$

Explanation:

The data given in the question is :

Mass is $0.245 kg$

Height from ground is $2.07 m$

As we know , the work done is state function , it depends on initial and final position not on the path followed.

So, work done by gravity = change in potential energy

Work done = Initial potential energy - final potential energy

Insert values from question

Work done = $mass \times gravity \times (change \: in \: height)$

Work done = $0.245 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2.07 m$

So, work done = $4.975 Joules$

Hence the work done by gravity is $4.975 \: Joules$

Initial velocity vector vA has a magnitude of 3.00 meters per second and points 20.0o north of east, while final velocity vector

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$5.2\ \text{m/s}$

$70^{\circ}$ south of east

Explanation:

$v_a$ = 3 m/s

$\theta_a$ = $20^{\circ}$ north of east

$v_b$ = 6 m/s

$\theta_b$ = $40^{\circ}$ south of east = $360-40=320^{\circ}$ north of east

x and y component of $v_a$

$v_{ax}=v_a\cos \theta\\\Rightarrow v_{ax}=3\times \cos 20^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{ax}=2.82\ \text{m/s}$

$v_{ay}=v_a\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow v_{ay}=3\times \sin20^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{ay}=1.03\ \text{m/s}$

x and y component of $v_b$

$v_{bx}=v_b\cos \theta\\\Rightarrow v_{bx}=6\times \cos 320^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{bx}=4.6\ \text{m/s}$

$v_{by}=v_b\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow v_{by}=6\times \sin320^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{by}=-3.86\ \text{m/s}$

$\Delta v=v_b-v_a\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=(4.6-2.82)\hat{i}+(-3.86-1.03)\hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=1.78\hat[i}-4.89\hat{j}$

Magnitude

$|\Delta v|=\sqrt{(-4.89)^2+1.78^2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=5.2\ \text{m/s}$

Direction

$\theta=\tan{-1}|\dfrac{-4.89}{1.78}|\\\Rightarrow \theta=70^{\circ}$

The magnitude of the change in velocity vector is $5.2\ \text{m/s}$ and the direction is $70^{\circ}$ south of east.
