A truck moving at 36 m/s passes a police car moving at 45 m/s in the opposite direction. If the frequency of the siren is 500 Hz

relative to the police car, what is the change in frequency (in Hz) heard by an observer in the truck as the two vehicles pass each other? (The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.)

Answer:

change in frequency is 636 Hz

Explanation:

given data

speed v1 = 36 m/s

speed v2 = 45 m/s

frequency f = 500 Hz

speed of sound s = 343 m/s

to find out

what is the change in frequency

solution

we know here change of frequency formula that is

frequency = \frac{s+v1}{s+v2} (f)   ...................1

put here value in equation 1

and we take v2 = -45 because opposite direction

frequency = \frac{s+v1}{s-v2} (f)

frequency = \frac{343+36}{343-45} (500)

frequency = 636

so change in frequency is 636 Hz

If a current of 1 ampere enters a parallel circuit at Point A. This 1 ampere of current will divide between Resistors R1 and R2 and then recombine at Point B

<h3>Parallel circuit</h3>

A  parallel circuit is a circuit with separate branches with a common endpoint. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same but the currents vary. The total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.

If a current of 1 ampere enters a parallel circuit at Point A. This 1 ampere of current will divide between Resistors R1 and R2 and then recombine at Point B.

The Zero Gravity Research Facility at the NASA Glenn Research Center includes a
denis23 [38]

Answer: (a) t = 5.44 sec

(b) vf = 53.31 m/s

(c) s = 5.0m

Explanation: from the question, given data

the Height of the tower, h = 145m

from question

(a)

the initial velocity, v₁ = 0 m/s

s = v₁t + 1/2 gt²

-145 m = 0(t) + 1/2 (-9.8t²)

  t² = 145/4.9

   t² = 29.59

    t = 5.44 sec

(b)

the speed of the sphere at the bottom of the tower is

vf² = vi² +2as

vf² = 0 + 2(-9.8 × -145)

vf² = 2842

vf = 53.31 m/s

(c)

when caught, the sphere experiences a deceleration of;

   a = -29.0g

the time it would take to decelerate becomes;

vf = vi + at

0 = (53.31) + (-29 ×9.8)t

where t = 53.31 / 284.2

t = 0.1876 sec

∴ the distance travelled during the deceleration becomes;

vf² = vi² + 2as

s = (vf² - vi²) / 2a

s = (0 - 53.31²) / 2×-29×9.8

s = -2841.9561 / -568.4

s = 4.99 ≈ 5.0m

i hope this helps, cheers

What would you say to a friend who made this statement, “The visible-light spectrum of the Sun shows weak hydrogen lines and str
Oliga [24]

Explanation:

spectral lines or signatures of elements depend on temperature, the temperature of the sun is about 5800 K.

at this temperature most calcium atoms are excited to higher energy states than hydrogen atoms and this means that calcium atoms are gonna have more signatures than the atoms of hydrogen.

the statement that the sun shows weak hyrogen lines and strong calcium line is wrong because at the sun's temperature most of the hydrogen atoms are in lower energy states while calcium atoms are in higher energy states hence calcium has more or ''strong'' lines than hydrogen.

g When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2 10-15 m before
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Time, t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2\times 10^{-15}\ m before interacting.

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. It will move with the speed of light. So,

t=\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\t=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-15}}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s

So, the time interval is 1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s
