Answers

Answer: 26.84 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Original frequency of the horn [tex]f_o=228\ Hz[/tex]

Apparent frequency [tex]f'=246\ Hz[/tex]

Speed of sound is [tex]V=340\ m/s[/tex]

Doppler frequency is

[tex]\Rightarrow f'=f_o\left(\dfrac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}\right)[/tex]

Where,

[tex]v_o=\text{Velocity of the observer}\\v_s=\text{Velocity of the source}[/tex]

Insert values

[tex]\Rightarrow 246=228\left[\dfrac{340+v_o}{340-0}\right]\\\\\Rightarrow 366.84=340+v_o\\\Rightarrow v_o=26.8\ m/s[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]E_0=0.173N/C[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Power [tex]P=50kw=>50*10^3w[/tex]

Distance [tex]d=10km=10000m[/tex]

Generally the equation for Intensity is mathematically given by

[tex]I=\frac{P}{4\pi d^2} w/m^2[/tex]

[tex]I=\frac{50*10^3}{4 \pi 10000^2} w/m^2[/tex]

[tex]I=3.98*10^{-5}w/m^2[/tex]

Generally Intensity is also

[tex]I=\frac{1}{2}cE_0^2e[/tex]

Where

[tex]e=8.854*10^{-12}Nm^2/c^2[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]E_0=\sqrt{\frac{2I}{c *e}}[/tex]

[tex]E_0=\sqrt{\frac{2*3.98*10^{-5}}{3*10^8 *8.854*10^{-12}}}[/tex]

A generator uses a coil that has 270 turns and a 0.48-T magnetic field. The frequency of this generator is 60.0 Hz, and its emf has an rms value of 120 V. Assuming that each turn of the coil is a square (an approximation), determine the length of the wire from which the coil is made.

Answers

Answer:

The total length of wire is 0.24 m.

Explanation:

Number of turns, N = 270

magnetic field, B = 0.48 T

frequency, f = 60 Hz

rms value of emf = 120 V

maximum value of emf, Vo = 1.414 x 120 = 169.68 V

let the area of square is A and the side is L.

The maximum emf is given by

Vo = N B A w

169.68 = 270 x 0.48 x A x 2 x 3.14 x 60

A = 3.5 x 10^-3 m^2

So,

L = 0.0589 m

Total length of wire, P = 4 L = 4 x 0.0589 = 0.24 m

A 3.0 kg block is pushed by a 14 N force. If µ = 0.6, will the block move?

Answers

Answer:

The block will not move.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the frictional force. This can be obtained as follow:

Coefficient of friction (µ) = 0.6

Mass of block (m) = 3 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Normal reaction (R) = mg = 3 × 10 = 30 N

Frictional force (Fբ) =?

Fբ = µR

Fբ = 0.6 × 30

Fբ = 18 N

From the calculations made above, the frictional force of the block is 18 N. Since the frictional force (i.e 18 N) is bigger than the force applied (i.e 14 N), the block will not move.

An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. When a 2.0-kg mass hangs at rest from it the spring is extended 6.0 cm from its relaxed length. A downward external force is now applied to the mass to extend the spring an additional 10 cm. While the spring is being extended by the force, the work done by the spring is:
a. -3.6 J
b. -3.3 F
c. -3.4 times 10^-5 J
d. 3.3 J
e. 3.6 J

Answers

Answer:

b) - 3.3 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 2 kg

initial extension of the spring, x = 6 cm = 0.06 m

The weight of the mass on the spring;

W = mg

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

W = 2 x 9.81

W = 19.62 N

The spring constant is calculated as;

W = kx

k = W/x

k = 19.62 / 0.06

k = 327 N/m

The work done by the spring when it is extended to an additional 10 cm;

work done = force x distance

distance = extension, x =  10 cm = 0.1 m

The work done by the spring opposes the applied force by acting in opposite direction to the force.

W = - Fx

W = - (kx) x

W = - kx²

W = - (327) x (0.1)²

W = - 3.27 J

W ≅ - 3.3 J

Therefore, the work done by the spring by opposing the applied force is -3.3 J

What is the magnitude of the electric field at a point midway between a −8.3μC and a +7.8μC charge 9.2cm apart? Assume no other charges are nearby.

Answers

Answer:

The net electric field at the midpoint is 6.85 x 10^7 N/C.

Explanation:

q = − 8.3 μC

q' = + 7.8 μC

d =  9.2 cm

d/2 = 4.6 cm

The electric field due to the charge q at midpoint is

[tex]E = \frac{k q}{r^2}\\\\E = \frac{9\times 10^9\times 8.3\times 10^{-6}}{0.046^2}\\\\E = 3.53\times 10^7 N/C[/tex] leftwards

The electric field due to the charge q' at midpoint is

[tex]E' = \frac{k q}{r^2}\\\\E' = \frac{9\times 10^9\times 7.8\times 10^{-6}}{0.046^2}\\\\E' = 3.32\times 10^7 N/C[/tex]

The resultant electric field at mid point is

E'' = E + E' = (3.53 + 3.32) x 10^7 = 6.85 x 10^7 N/C

Answers

Answer:

the angle between the electron's velocity and the magnetic field is 19⁰

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 83 x 10⁻⁵ T

acceleration of the electron, a = 34 x 10¹³ m/s²

speed of the electron, v = 72 x 10⁵ m/s

mass of electron, m = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The magnetic force experienced by the electron is calculated as;

F = ma = qvB sinθ

where;

q is charge of electron = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

θ is the angle between the electron's velocity and the magnetic field.

[tex]sin(\theta ) = \frac{ma}{qvB} \\\\sin(\theta ) = \frac{(9.11\times 10^{-31})(34\times 10^{13})}{(1.602\times 10^{-19})\times (72\times 10^5) \times (83 \times 10^{-5})} \\\\sin(\theta ) = 0.3235\\\\\theta =sin^{-1}(0.3235)\\\\\theta =18.9^0[/tex]

[tex]\theta \approx 19^ 0[/tex]

Therefore, the angle between the electron's velocity and the magnetic field is 19⁰

The cart takes 5.00 s to go from point A to point C, and the cart takes 1.30 s to go from point B to point C. What is the cart's speed at point B

Answers

Answer:

The speed at B is 16.18 ft/s .

Explanation:

Speed at A, u = 11 ft/s

Speed at C, v' = 18 ft/s

Time from A to C = 5 s

Time from B to C = 1.3 s

Let the speed of car at B is v.

Let the acceleration is a.

From A to B

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

18 = 11 + a x 5

a = 1.4 ft/s^2

Let the time from A to B is t' .

t' = 5 - 1.3 = 3.7 s

Use first equation of motion from A to B

v = 11 + 1.4 x 3.7 = 16.18 ft/s

m/s

Answers

Answer:

v = 5.15 m/s

Explanation:

At constant velocity, the cable tension will equal the car weight of 984(9.81) = 9,653 N

As the cable tension is less than this value, the car must be accelerating downward.

7730 = 984(9.81 - a)

a = 1.95 m/s²

kinematic equations s = ut + ½at² and v = u + at

-5.00 = u(4.00) + ½(-1.95)4.00²

u = 2.65 m/s    the car's initial velocity was upward at 2.65 m/s

v = 2.65 + (-1.95)(4.00)
