You are standing on a sidewalk. There is a car in the distance. The horn on the car sounds. You hear it at a pitch that correspo

nds to a sound frequency lower than the frequency emitted by the horn. What can you conclude?A) Either A or C must be true.B) The car is moving on a line directly away from your present location.C) The wind has a component of its velocity in a direction away from you.D) The car has a component of its velocity in a direction away from you.E) The wind has a component of its velocity in a direction toward you.

Answer: The answer: The car is moving away from you.

Both A and C are true as Car can be moving in line away from you or has component of velocity in opposite direction.

Explanation:The decrease in the frequency of the sound is the result of Doppler's effect. A/c to Doppler's effect the frequency of received sound of source is changed if it is moving relative to the receiver, i.e. the distance between them is changing due to motion.

The general formula of Doppler's Effect is attached as the picture.

In this formula v_D is the velocity of Detector i.e the receiver relative to wind. While v_s is the velocity of source relative to wind and v is the velocity of sound.

The Doppler's effect is not effected by the velocity of wind as the wind itself could not change the distance between the two objects i.e. you and the car. Wind velocity can change the speed of sound and its wavelength but the change does not effect the frequency.

Hence if we assume the car to be moving with velocity v_c and you are stationary

f'=f_s*\frac{v}{v-v_c}

hence the frequency is reduced.

Mechanical waves are oscillation of matter, they are important because they all transfer energy from one place to another. There are 2 types of mechanical waves. A transverse wave where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of energy travel and a longitudinal wave where particle vibrations are parallel to the direction of the energy transfer.


I hope it helps, Regards.

Vinvika [58]
The Nebular Hypothesis is the most accepted explanation of the origin of our solar system. It states that the Sun was formed by a massive cloud of dust and gas light-years across, and it was bigger than the actual sun itself. Most of the mass in the center formed the sun, and the rest expanded outward.

This problem is based on the whole idea of pressure but I’m having trouble on when the area circle formula is included.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

6.23x10^6Pa

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

F (force) = 490N

r (radius) = 0.005m

A (area of the circlular heel) =?

P (pressure) =.?

First, we'll begin by calculating the area of the circlular heel. This is illustrated below:

Area of circle = πr^2

Area = 22/7 x (0.00)^2

Area = 7.86x10^-5m^2

Pressure is simply force per unit area. It represented mathematically as

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 490/7.86x10^-5

Pressure = 6.23x10^6N/m2

Recall: 1N/m2 = 1Pa

Therefore, 6.23x10^6N/m2 = 6.23x10^6Pa

Therefore, the woman exert a pressure of 6.23x10^6Pa on the floor

In a physics laboratory experiment, a coil with 200 turns enclosing an area of 11.8 cm^2 is rotated during the time interval 4.9
Zanzabum

Answer:

Explanation:

Flux through the coil = nBA , n is no of turns , B is magnetic flux and A a is area of the coli

= 200 x 5.6 x 10⁻⁵ x 11.8 x 10⁻⁴

=  13216 x 10⁻⁹ weber .

b ) When the coil becomes parallel to magnetic field  , flux through it will become zero.

c ) e m f induced = change in flux / time

= 13216 x 10⁻⁹ / 4.9 x 10⁻²

= 2697.14 x 10⁻⁷ V

= 269.7 x10⁻⁶

269.7 μV.
