Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Velocity = displacement / time

So ,

Speed = 50 km / 0.5 hr = 100 km/h

Velocity = 40 km / 0.5hr = 80 km/h

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Student c's belief is fulfilled only for the movement of the earth with respect to the sun. But it has no validity or does not exist when it is necessary to explain other physical phenomena with respect to other satellites. For example, how would you explain the phases of the moon, if the Earth is located in the center of the Galaxy?, another serious question regarding the observations made by scientists millions of years ago, where they observed that the distances of the Earth from other planets were changing, with respect to time. If the Earth was in the center, all the planets and the sun would revolve around it preserving a constant distance (radius), at all times.

Other phenomena to explain would be the seasons on Earth, these are due to the axis of inclination of the Earth and the rotation of it around the sun.

When the electron is moving in the plane of the page in the direction indicated by the arrow, the force on the electron is direc

Serga [27]

Answer: F

Out of the page.

Explanation:

For an electron with a charge of -e, the magnitude of the force on it is F = BeV

Where

F = force on the electron

e = charge ( electrons )

V = velocity

B = magnetic field

F is the force acting on all the electrons in a wire which gives rise to the F = BIL

Where

I = current

L = length of the wire

The force F is always at the right angle to the particle's velocity and its direction can be found using the left hand rule.

When the electron is moving in the plane of the page in the direction indicated by the arrow, the force on the electron is directed out of the page.

A boy on a bicycle approaches a brick wall as he sounds his horn at a frequency 400 hz. the sound he hears reflected back from t

Mashutka [201]

As the question is about changing in frequency of a wave for an observer who is moving relative to the wave source, the concept that should come to our minds is "Doppler's effect."

Now the general formula of the Doppler's effect is:
$f = (\frac{g + v_{r}}{g + v_{s}})f_{o}$ -- (A)

Note: We do not need to worry about the signs, as everything is moving towards each other. If something/somebody were moving away, we would have the negative sign. However, in this problem it is not the issue.

Where,
g = Speed of sound = 340m/s.
$v_{r}$ = Velocity of the receiver/observer relative to the medium = ?.
$v_{s}$ = Velocity of the source with respect to medium = 0 m/s.
$f_{o}$ = Frequency emitted from source = 400 Hz.
$f$ = Observed frequency = 408Hz.

Plug-in the above values in the equation (A), you would get:

$408 = ( \frac{340 + v_{r}}{340 + 0})*400$

$\frac{408}{400} = \frac{340 + v_{r}}{340}$

Solving above would give you,
$v_{r}$ = 6.8 m/s

The correct answer = 6.8m/s
