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

5 0

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

Can an object be accelerated while traveling at constant velocity? Why or why not?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

An object's acceleration is the rate its velocity (speed and direction) changes. Therefore, an object can accelerate even if its speed is constant - if its direction changes. If an object's velocity is constant, however, its acceleration will be zero.

An extension cord is used with an electric weed trimmer that has a resistance of 17.9 Ω. The extension cord is made of copper (r
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

(a) R_{c}=0.87ohms

(b) V_{T}=114.44V

Explanation:

Part (a)

The total length of copper cord L=86.3 m

The cross sectional area A=1.71×10⁻⁶m²

The resistivity of copper p=1.72×10⁻⁸Ω

Thus the resistance of extension cord is

R_{c}=p\frac{L}{A}\\R_{c}=(1.72*10^{-8} )\frac{86.3}{1.71*10^{-6}}\\R_{c}=0.87ohms

Part (b)

The resistance of trimmer Rt=17.9 ohms

When voltage of 120V is applied then the current I is passing through series circuit is

I=\frac{120V}{R_{c} +R_{T} }\\I=\frac{120V}{0.87 +17.9 } \\I=6.4A

Thus the voltage across the trimmer is:

V_{T}=IR_{T}\\V_{T}=(6.4)*(17.9)\\V_{T}=114.44V

Calculate the change in length of concrete sidewalk (coefficient of linear expansion for concrete is 12*10^-6/celcius) that is 1
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 5.4 cm

Explanation:

This problem refers to calculate the change in length in one dimension due to a change in temperature.

Data

α = 12 x 10⁻⁶

Lo = 150 meters

ΔT = 30 °C

Formula

                    ΔL/Lo = αΔT

solve for ΔL

                    ΔL = αLoΔT

Substitution

                    ΔL = (12 x 10⁻⁶)(150)(30)

Simplification

                    ΔL = 0054 m = 5.4 cm
