Why are you able to observe the Doppler Effect with sound waves on Earth but not light waves?

1 answer:

4 0

The doppler effect is when waves’ wavelengths get squished when the source is moving toward you or stretched when the source is moving away from you. it can be observed with sound waves but not light waves because the speed of light is just too fast, meaning that we can’t move toward or away fast enough. (also some stuff with relativity).

point) A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 12 m. The circular side of the pool is 3 m high, and the depth of the water is

Sergio [31]

Answer:

(a) 86.65 J

(b) 149.65 J

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the pool, d = 12 m

⇒ Radius of the pool, r = 6 m

Height of the pool, H = 3 m

Depth of the pool, D = 2.5 m

Density of water, $\rho_{w} = 1000\ kg//m^{3}$

Acceleration due to gravity, g = $9.8\ m/s^{2}$

Now,

(a) Work done in pumping all the water:

Average height of the pool, h = $\frac{H + D}{2}$

h = $\frac{3 + 2.5}{2} = 2.75\ m$

Volume of water in the pool, V = $\pi r^{2}h = \pi \times 6^{2}\times 2.75 = 311.02\ m^{3}$

Mass of water, $m_{w} = \frac{\rho_{w}}{V}$

$m_{w} = \frac{1000}{311.02} = 3.215\ kg$

Work done is given by the potential energy of the water as:

$W = m_{w}gh = 3.215\times 9.8\times 2.75 = 86.65\ J$

(b) Work done to pump all the water through an outlet of 2 m:

Now,

Height, h = 2.75 + 2 = 4.75

Work done, $W = m_{w}gh = 3.215\times 9.8\times 4.75 = 149.65\ J$

Which of the following correctly describe electric field lines?

Xelga [282]

-- Electric field lines DO never cross. (A)

-- Electric field lines that are close together DO indicate a stronger electric field. (B)

-- Electric field lines DO not affect the charge that created them. (C)

-- Electric field lines DON'T begin on north poles and end on south poles. North and South "poles" are the way we talk about magnets, not electric charges.

Jack and Jill are on two different floors of their high rise office building and looking out of their respective windows. Jack s

Maru [420]

Answer:

a) speed when Jack sees the pot : 12.92 meters per second

b) height difference 163.115 meters

Explanation:

First to calculate te initial speed we use the acceleration formula:

a= v1-v0/t

Acceleration being gravity's acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)

v1 being the speed when Jill sees the pot

v0 when Jack sees it

and t the time between

Solving for v0 it would be

v1 - a*t = v0

replacing

$58 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 *4.6 s = v0 = 12.92 m/s$

For the second question we use the position formula setting y0 and t0 as the position and time when jack sees the pot. (and setting the positive axis downward I.E. one meter below jack would be 1m not -1m)

The formula is

$y0 + v0*t + 1/2 g *t^2 = yt$
