If a 1000Hz sound source moves at a speed of 50.

0 m/s toward a listener who moves at


a speed of 30.0 m/s in a direction away from the source, what is the apparent frequency
heard by the listener? (The velocity of sound is 340 m/s.)
Ans:1068.
Two metallic strips that constitute some thermostats must differ in
Ans:Coefficient of linear expansion

If two vectors, 2ī+3j-k and 4i+6j+xk are parallel to each other, what is the value of
x?

Tiger Joe Sallmen and Larry Rothstein have already given the easiest way of determining
the value of x.x.
There are two other ways (which are not as simple), as given below:

Using the cross product.

Since the vectors are parallel, their cross product is zero.

⇒(2i^+3j^−k^)×(4i^+6j^+xk^)=0.⇒(2i^+3j^−k^)×(4i^+6j^+xk^)=0.
⇒i^(3x+6)−j^(2x+4)+k^(12−12)=0.⇒i^(3x+6)−j^(2x+4)+k^(12−12)=0.
⇒3x+6=0⇒3x+6=0 and 2x+4=0.2x+4=0.
⇒x=−2.⇒x=−2.
Using the dot product.

Since the vectors are parallel, the cosine of the angle between them is 11.
⇒⇒ The dot product is equal to the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors.
⇒(2i^+3j^−k^)⋅(4i^+6j^+xk^)=|2i^+3j^−k^||
4i^+6j^+xk^|.⇒(2i^+3j^−k^)⋅(4i^+6j^+xk^)=|2i^+3j^−k^||4i^+6j^+xk^|.
⇒8+18−x=4+9+1−−−−−−−−√16+36+x2−−−−−−−−−
−√.⇒8+18−x=4+9+116+36+x2.
⇒26−x=14−−√52+x2−−−−−−√.⇒26−x=1452+x2.
⇒(26−x)2=14(52+x2).⇒(26−x)2=14(52+x2).
⇒676−52x+x2=728+14x2.⇒676−52x+x2=728+14x2.
⇒13x2+52x+52=0⇒13x2+52x+52=0
⇒13(x+2)2=0⇒13(x+2)2=0
⇒x=−2.
