Why does the frequency of a siren get higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer

Physics

Fantom [35]2 years ago

Explanation:

Doppler effect: There is an apparent change in the frequency when there is relative motion between the source and the listener. This phenomenon is Doppler effect.

When the source and the listener are moving towards each other then the frequency of the wave increases.

In the given problem, the frequency of a siren gets higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer. The frequency of the siren increases due to Doppler effect. The pitch of the sound also becomes louder as the pitch depends on the frequency.

The frequency of a wave becomes higher due to the object moving at a fast pace coming towards you with shorter wavelengths  (depending on the speed) aka the Doppler Effect.

2.5 g of helium at an initial temperature of 300 K interacts thermally with 9.0 g of oxygen at an initial temperature of 620 K .
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

2.5 g of He = 2.5 / 4  mole

= .625 moles

9 g of oxygen = 9/32

= .28 mole of oxygen

C_p of He = 3/2 R

C_p of O₂ = 5/2 R

A ) Initial thermal energy of He = 3/2 n R T

= 1.5 x .625 x 8.32 x 300

= 2340 J

Initial thermal energy of O₂ = 5/2 n R T

= 2.5 x .28 x 8.32 x 620

= 3610.88 J

B ) If T be the equilibrium temperature after mixing

gain of heat by helium

= n C_p Δ T

= .625 x 3/2 R x ( T - 300 )

Loss of heat by oxygen

n C_p Δ T

= .28 x 5/2 R x ( 620 - T )

Loss of heat = gain of heat

.625 x 3/2 R x ( T - 300 ) = .28 x 5/2 R x ( 620 - T )

1.875 T- 562.5 = 868- 1.4 T

3.275 T = 1430,5

T = 436.8 K

Thermal energy of He

= 1.5 x .625 x 8.32 x 436.8

= 3407 J

thermal energy of O₂

= 2.5 x .28  x 8.32 x 436.8

= 2543.92 J

C )

Heat energy transferred

=  .28 x 5/2 R x ( 620 - T )

=  .28 x 5/2 x  8.32 x ( 620 - 436.8 )

1066.95 J

Heat will flow from O₂ to He

Final temperature is 436.8 K

2. An alternating current is represented by the equation I=20sin 100mt.
Sladkaya [172]

Explanation:

The general equation of an AC current is given by :

I=I_o sin\omega t

Where

I₀ is the peak value of current

\omega is angular frequency

As\ \omega=2\pi f

So,

f=\dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}\\\\f=\dfrac{100\pi}{2\pi}\\\\f=50\ Hz

We know that,

I_{rms}=\dfrac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\=\dfrac{20}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\I_{rms}=14.14\ A

So, the frequency is 50 Hz and the maximum rms value of current is 14.14 A.
