Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 530 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 424 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations.
Answer:
_s = 37.77 m / s
Explanation:
This is an exercise of the Doppler effect that the change in the frequency of the sound due to the relative speed of the source and the observer, in this case the observer is still and the source is the one that moves closer to the observer, for which relation that describes the process is
f ’= f₀ [tex]\frac{v}{v - v_s}[/tex]
where d ’= 530 Make
when the ambulance passes away from the observer the relationship is
f ’’ = f₀ [tex]\frac{v}{v + v_s}[/tex]
where d ’’ = 424 beam
let's write the two expressions
f ’ (v-v_s) = fo v
f ’’ (v + v_s) = fo v
let's solve the system, subtract the two equations
v (f ’- f’ ’) - v_s (f’ + f ’’) = 0
v_s = v [tex]\frac{ f' - f''}{ f' + f''}[/tex]
the speed of sound is v = 340 m / s
let's calculate
v_s = 340 [tex](\frac{ 530 -424}{530+424} )[/tex]
v_s = 340 [tex](\frac{106}{954}[/tex])
v_s = 37.77 m / s

The work is calculated by replacing pressure with nRT/V then pulling nRT outside the integral. We are only allowed to pull T outside the integral in that example because:
a. we are always allowed to pull T outside a volume integral
b. T is constant for an isothermal process
c. it's an expansion not a compression
d. T has a positive value in that problem
Answer: b. T is constant for an isothermal process
Explanation:
In a general case for an ideal gas, we have the relation:
dW = -pdV.
If we integrate in both sides, we get:
W = ∫-pdV
Now, as the problem says, we can replace p by n*R*T/V
This is because of the equation for ideal gases.
p = n*R*T/V
replacing that in the equation we get
W = -∫pdV = -∫(n*R*T/V)dV
Now we want to take the n*R*T part outside of the integral.
But we only could do this if T does not depend on V.
If T is cosntant, then T does not depend on V, and we know that T is constant when we are in an isothermal process.
Where an isothermal process is a process where the temperature does not change, then T = constant.
Then n*R*T = constant = k
Because this is a constant, we could take it out of the integral so we get:
W = -∫(n*R*T/V)dV ) = -(n*R*T)∫(1/V)*dV
Then the correct option is option b.
b. T is constant for an isothermal process

A book is moved once around the perimeter of a tabletop with dimensions 1.2 m x 1.8 m.
(a) If the book ends up at its initial position, what is its displacement
(b) What is the distance traveled?
Answer:
a) 0m
b) 6m
Explanation:
First, we need to remember:
Displacement: Difference between final and initial position.
Distance traveled: Total distance traveled.
a) If the final position is the same as the initial position, then:
final position = initial position
And we know that:
displacement = final position - initial position = 0
Then the displacement of the book is zero.
b)
We can assume that the book traveled along the perimeter of the table.
The table is a rectangle of width 1.2m and length 1.8m
Remember that for a rectangle of width W and length L, the perimeter is:
P = 2*L + 2*W
Then the perimeter of the table is:
P = 2*1.2m + 2*1.8m = 6m
This means that the distance traveled by the book is 6 meters.

The Great Sandini is a 60 kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). You don't find many men of his caliber, so you help him design a new gun. This new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1300 N/m that he will compress with a force of 6500 N. The inside of the gun barrel is coated with Teflon, so the average friction force will be only 50 N during the 5.0 mm he moves in the barrel.
Required:
At what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.5 mabove his initial rest position?
Answer:
22m/s

The resolution of a telescope is ultimately limited by the diameter of its objective lens or mirror. A typical amateur astronomer's telescope may have a 6.09 in diameter mirror. What is the minimum angular separation (in arc seconds) of two stars that can be resolved with a 6.09 in scope
Answer:
θ = 3.19 arc second
Explanation:
The resolution of a telescope is given by the rayleigh criterion, which establishes that two objects are separated if the principal maximum of diffraction of one of them coincides with the first minimum of diffraction of the second object, based on this the solution is given by the first diffraction minimum, the a slit is
a sin θ = m λ
with m = 1
in the case of circular apertures the equation must be found in polar coordinates, therefore a numerical constant is introduced
a sin θ = 1.22 λ
Angles are measured in radians and in these experiments they are small
sin θ = θ
θ= 1.22 λ / a
in this case a = 6.09 in, the wavelength is wrong = 550 10⁻⁹ m which is the maximum resolution of the human eye
l
et's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
d = 6.09‘ 2.54 10⁻-2 m / 1 inch = 15.4686 10-2 m
let's calculate
θ = 1.22 550 10-9 / 15.468 10-2
θ = 15.5 10⁻⁶ rad
rad = 2.06 105 s
θ = 15.5 10⁻⁶ rad 2.06 105s/ 1 rad
θ = 3.19 s

a. 0.0088 Hz
b. 14.0 Hz
c. 1.14 Hz
d. 0.88 Hz
Answer:
d
Explanation:
velocity=frequency × wavelength
frequency=speed/wavelength
frequency=3.5÷4
=0.875~0.88
The frequency of the waves is (d) 0.88 Hz. So, correct answer is option (d).
What is frequency of wave?The frequency of a sinusoidal wave is the number of full oscillations performed by any wave constituent in a unit of time. According to the definition of frequency, if a body is moving periodically, it has completed one cycle after going through a number of situations or postures and then returning to its initial position. Therefore, frequency is a quantity that describes the rate of oscillation and vibration.
Given parameter,
Velocity of the waves = 3.5 m/s.
distance between the crests of each wave, that is, wavelength of the waves = 4 m.
We know that, for a wave transmission,
velocity of wave =frequency of wave × wavelength of wave
⇒ frequency of wave=speed of wave/wavelength of wave
⇒ frequency of wave =3.5 m/s ÷4m
=0.875 Hz
≈ 0.88 Hz
Hence, the frequency of the waves is 0.88 Hz.

The resistivity of blood is related to its hematocrit, the volume fraction of red blood cells in the blood. A commonly used equation relating the hematocrit h to the blood resistivity rho (in Ω⋅m) is rho=1.32/(1−h)−0.79. In one experiment, blood filled a graduated cylinder with an inner diameter of 0.90 cm. The resistance of the blood between the 1.0 cm and 2.0 cm marks of the cylinder was measured to be 198 Ω.
Required:
What was the hematocrit for this blood?
Answer:
[tex]0.35598[/tex]
Explanation:
r = Radius = [tex]\dfrac{0.9}{2}=0.45\ \text{cm}[/tex]
R = Resistance = [tex]198\ \Omega[/tex]
A = Area = [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]
l = Length of blood in cylinder = 1 cm
h = Hematocrit of the blood
Resistivity is given by
[tex]\rho=\dfrac{1.32}{1-h}-0.79[/tex]
Resistance is given by
[tex]R=(\dfrac{1.32}{1-h}-0.79)\dfrac{l}{\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow h=1-\dfrac{1.32}{\dfrac{R\pi r^2}{l}+0.79}\\\Rightarrow h=1-\dfrac{1.32}{\dfrac{198\times \pi\times (0.45\times 10^{-2})^2}{0.01}+0.79}\\\Rightarrow h=0.35598[/tex]
The hematocrit of the blood is [tex]0.35598[/tex].

This question is incomplete, the missing diagram is uploaded along this Answer below.
Answer:
a) the work done on the cart by the spring is 4.875 lb-ft
b) the work done on the cart by its weight is - 3.935 lb-ft
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
(a) determine the work done on the cart by the spring
we calculate the work done on the cart by the spring as follows;
[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 1/2×k( [tex]x^{2} _{1}[/tex] - [tex]x^{2} _{2}[/tex] )
where k is spring constant ( 3 lb/in )
we substitute
[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 1/2 × 3( (-8)² - (5)² )
[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 1/2 × 3( 64 - 25 )
[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 1/2 × 3( 39 )
[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 58.5 lb-in
we convert to pound force-foot
[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 58.5 × 0.0833333 lb-ft
[tex]W_{spring}[/tex] = 4.875 lb-ft
Therefore, the work done on the cart by the spring is 4.875 lb-ft
b) the work done on the cart by its weight
work done by its weight;
[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = -mgsin∅( x₂ - x₁ )
we substitute in of values from the image below;
[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = -14 × sin(15°)( 5 - (-8) )
[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = -14 × 0.2588 × 13
[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = -47.1 lb-in
we convert to pound force-foot
[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = -47.1 × 0.0833333 lb-ft
[tex]W_{gravity}[/tex] = - 3.935 lb-ft
Therefore, the work done on the cart by its weight is - 3.935 lb-ft
a) the work done on the cart by the spring is 4.875 lb-ft.
b) the work done on the cart by its weight is - 3.935 lb-ft.
Calculation of the work done:a. The work done on the cart by the spring is
= 1/2 × 3( (-8)² - (5)² )
= 1/2 × 3( 64 - 25 )
= 1/2 × 3( 39 )
= 58.5 lb-in
Now we have to convert to pound force-foot
So,
= 58.5 × 0.0833333 lb-ft
= 4.875 lb-ft
b) Now
work done by its weight;
= -mgsin∅( x₂ - x₁ )
So,
= -14 × sin(15°)( 5 - (-8) )
= -14 × 0.2588 × 13
= -47.1 lb-in
Now we convert to pound force-foot
= -47.1 × 0.0833333 lb-ft
= - 3.935 lb-ft

You are standing on the bottom of a lake with your torso above water. Which statement is correct?
a. You feel a buoyant force only when you momentarily jump up from the bottom of the lake.
b. There is a buoyant force that is proportional to the weight of your body below the water level.
c. There is a buoyant force that is proportional to the volume of your body that is below the level of the water.
d. There is no buoyant force on you since you are supported by the lake bottom.
Answer:
c. There is a buoyant force that is proportional to the volume of your body that is below the level of the water.
Explanation:
Buoyancy can be defined as a force which is created by the water displaced by an object.
Simply stated, buoyancy is directly proportional to the amount of water that is being displaced by an object.
Hence, the greater the amount of water an object displaces; the greater is the force of buoyancy pushing the object up.
The buoyancy of an object is given by the formula;
[tex] Fb = pgV [/tex]
[tex] But, \; V = Ah [/tex]
[tex] Hence, \; Fb = pgAh [/tex]
Where;
Fb = buoyant force of a liquid acting on an object.
g = acceleration due to gravity.
p = density of the liquid.
v = volume of the liquid displaced.
h = height of liquid (water) displaced by an object.
A = surface area of the floating object.
The unit of measurement for buoyancy is Newton (N).
In this scenario, you are standing on the bottom of a lake with your torso above water. Thus, there is a buoyant force that is proportional to the volume of your body that is below the level of the water.
If an object has a mass of 210g and the net force acting upon it is 5.0N, what is the acceleration of that object?
Answer:
24ms^-2 (2 sig figs)
Explanation:
F = ma
This means that the sum of all forces (or the net force) acting upon an object is equal to its mass x accelleration.
Its important to convert all parts of this equations in to SI units such that Force (N), Mass (kg) and Accelleration (ms^-2) to make sure that your answer is in the correct units.
F = ma so 5 = 0.21a
a = 5/0.21
a = 23.810 ms^-2 (5 sig figs)

How far (in km) did the wind blow him while he was sleeping?
Answer:
d₃ = 37,729 km, θ= 5.1º North of West
Explanation:
This is a velocity addition problem, the easiest way to solve it is to decompose the velocities in a Cartesian system, the x-axis coincides with the West-East direction and the y-axis with the South-North direction
* first displacement is
d₁ₓ = 11 km
* second offset is
cos 6 = d₂ₓ / d₂
sin 6 = d_{2y} / d₂
d₂ₓ = d₂ cos 6
d_{2y} = d₂ sin 6
d₂ₓ = 6 cos 6 = 5.967 km
d_{2y} = 6 sin 6 = 0.6272 km
* third displacement is unknown
* fourth and last displacement
cos (-11) = d₄ₓ / d₄
sin (-11) = d_{4y} / d₄
d₄ₓ = d₄ cos (-11)
d_{4y} = d₄ sin (-11)
d₄ₓ = 21 cos (-11) = 20.61 km
d_{4y} = 21 sin (-11) = -4.007 km
They tell us that at the end of the tour you are back on the island, so the displacement must be zero
X axis
x = d₁ₓ + d₂ₓ + d₃ₓ + d₄ₓ
0 = 11 +5.967 + d₃ₓ + 20.61
d₃ₓ = -11 - 5.967 - 20.61
d₃ₓ = -37.577 km
Y axis
y = d_{1y} + d_{2y} + d_{3y} + d_{4y}
0 = 0 + 0.6272 + d_{3y} -4.007
d_{3y} = 4.007 - 0.6272
d_{3y} = 3.3798 km
This distance can be given in the form of module and angle
Let's use the Pythagorean theorem for the module
d₃ = [tex]\sqrt{d_{3x}^2 + d_{3y}^2}[/tex]
d₃ = [tex]\sqrt{37.577^2 + 3.3798^2}[/tex]
d₃ = 37,729 km
Let's use trigonometry for the angle
tan θ = d_{3y} / d₃ₓ
θ = tan⁻¹ [tex]\frac{d_{3y}}{d_{3x}}[/tex]
θ = tan-1 (-3.3798 / 37.577)
θ = 5.1º
Since the y coordinate is positive and the x coordinate is negative, this angle is in the second quadrant, so the direction given in the form of cardinal coordinates is
θ= 5.1º North of West
