$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨$

Amplitude and frequency are two properties of sound waves that decreases as distance from source decrease.

Therefore, as the ambulance moves away,

frequency - decreases
amplitude - decreases

So, correct choice is D

How does volcanic ash in earth's atmosphere affect solar radiation?

Irina-Kira [14]

The answer is it increases the amount of solar radiation that is redirected into space. Most of the particles emitted from volcanoes cool the earth by covering entering solar radiation. The cooling result can last for months to years contingent on the features of the eruption.

Emmett is lifting a box vertically. Which forces are necessary for calculating the total force?

GrogVix [38]

When Emmett is lifting a box vertically, the forces that must be added to calculate the total force are: the gravitational force, tension force(the force exerted by Emmett to the box and the force exerted by the box to Emmett), and air resistance force.

A 4.87-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 3.21 m with a speed of 5.21 m/s onto a spring with k = 1570 N/m. The

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $0.560\; {\rm m}$ , assuming that:

the height of $3.21\; {\rm m}$ refers to the distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.
air resistance on the clay sphere is negligible,
the gravitational field strength is $g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ , and
the clay sphere did not deform.

Explanation:

Notations:

Let $k$ denote the spring constant of the spring.
Let $m$ denote the mass of the clay sphere.
Let $v$ denote the initial speed of the spring.
Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength.
Let $h$ denote the initial vertical distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.

Let $x$ denote the maximum compression of the spring- the only unknown quantity in this question.

After being compressed by a displacement of $x$ , the elastic potential energy $\text{PE}_{\text{spring}}$ in this spring would be:

$\displaystyle \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} = \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}$ .

The initial kinetic energy $\text{KE}$ of the clay sphere was:

$\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}$ .

When the spring is at the maximum compression:

The clay sphere would be right on top of the spring.
The top of the spring would be below the original position (when the spring was uncompressed) by $x$ .
The initial position of the clay sphere, however, is above the original position of the top of the spring by $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ .

Thus, the initial position of the clay sphere ( $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ above the top of the uncompressed spring) would be above the max-compression position of the clay sphere by $(h + x)$ .

The gravitational potential energy involved would be:

$\text{GPE} = m\, g\, (h + x)$ .

No mechanical energy would be lost under the assumptions listed above. Thus:

$\text{PE}_\text{spring} = \text{KE} + \text{GPE}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2} + m\, g\, (h + x)$ .

Rearrange this equation to obtain a quadratic equation about the only unknown, $x$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} - m\, g\, x - \left[\left(\frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2}\right)+ (m\, g\, h)\right] = 0$ .

Substitute in $k = 1570\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}$ , $m = 4.87\; {\rm kg}$ , $v = 5.21\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ , $g = 9.81\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}$ , and $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ . Let the unit of $x$ be meters.

$785\, x^{2} - 47.775\, x - 219.453 \approx 0$ (Rounded. The unit of both sides of this equation is joules.)

Solve using the quadratic formula given that $x \ge 0$ :

$\begin{aligned}x &\approx \frac{-(-47.775) + \sqrt{(-47.775)^{2} - 4 \times 785 \times (-219.453)}}{2 \times 785} \\ &\approx 0.560\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}$ .

(The other root is negative and is thus invalid.)

Hence, the maximum compression of this spring would be approximately $0.560\; {\rm m}$ .
