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

Physics

Fantom [35]3 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. 
Hope this helps

Suppose you have a car with a battery that applies 12.5 V to the starter.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

R = 0.1 ohms

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of the battery, V = 12.5 V

Current flowing in the car's starter, I = 125 A

We need to find the effective resistance of a car's starter. It can be calculated using Ohm's law. Let R is the resistance.

V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{12.5}{125}\\\\R=0.1\ \Omega

So, the resistance of the car's starter is 0.1 ohms.

What is the maximum centripetal acceleration experienced by a person standing still on the surface of the Earth? Where must they
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The person must be located in the Equator Line. The maximum centripetal acceleration experienced by a person is 0.0337 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Physically speaking, the centripetal acceleration (a_{r}), measured in meters per square second, experienced by a person is defined by the following expression:

a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r (1)

Where:

\omega - Angular speed of the Earth, measured in radians per second.

r - Distance perpendicular to the rotation axis, measured in meters.

Since rotation axis passes through poles and distance described above is directly proportional to centripetal acceleration. The person must be located in the Equator Line, which is equivalent to the radius of the planet.

In addition, the angular speed of the Earth can be calculated in terms of its period (T), measured in seconds:

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} (2)

If we know that r = 6.371\times 10^{6}\,m and T = 86400\,s, then the maximum centripetal acceleration experienced by a person is:

a_{r} = \left(\frac{2\pi}{86400\,s} \right)^{2}\cdot (6.371\times 10^{6}\,m)

a_{r} = 0.0337\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The maximum centripetal acceleration experienced by a person is 0.0337 meters per square second.
