A 50.0 Watt stereo emits sound waves isotropically at a wavelength of 0.700 meters. This stereo is stationary, but a person in a

car is moving away from this stereo at a speed of 40.0 m/s. The frequency of sound waves that the car receives is ________. In addition, when the car is 70.0 meters away from the speaker, the car will hear sound waves with a sound intensity level of _________ .

Answer:

a) f' = 432 Hz

b) I = 8.12*10^-4 W/m^2

Explanation:

a) To calculate the frequency of sound waves that car receives, you take into account the Doppler effect. In this case (observer moves away of the source) you have the following formula:

f'=f(\frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s})    (1)

where

f: frequency of the source = ?

v: speed of sound = 343 m/s

vo: speed of the observer = 40.0 m/s

vs: speed of the source = 0 m/s (stationary)

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

To calculate f' you first calculate the frequency of the sound wave, by using the following formula:

v=\lambda f\\\\

v: speed of sound

λ: wavelength = 0.700 m

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{343m/s}{0.700m}=480Hz

Next, you replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

f'=(490Hz)(\frac{343m/s-40.0m/s}{343m/s})=432Hz

hence, the frequency perceived by the car is 432 Hz

b) To calculate the power of the sound wave, when the car is 70.0 maway from the speaker, you use the following formula:

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

P: power of the source = 50.0 W

r: distance to the source = 70.0 m

I=\frac{50.0 W}{4\pi(70.0m)^2}=8.12*10^{-4}\frac{W}{m^2}

hence, the intensity is 8.12*10^⁻4 W/m^2

Explain how streams can erode soil and transport materials?
vladimir1956 [14]
The eroded rock and soil materials that are transported downstream by a river are called its load. A river transports, or carries, its load in three different ways: in solution, in suspension, and in its bed load. Mineral matter that has been dissolved from bedrock is carried in solution. Common minerals carried in solution by rivers include dissolved calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate. Most of a river’s solution load comes from groundwater seeping into the river. Before it reaches the stream,thegroundwaterhastraveledthroughfracturesinthebedrock, chemically eroding rock along the way. When river water looks muddy, it is carrying rock material in suspension. Suspended material includes clay, silt, and fine sand. Although these suspended materials are heavier than water, the turbulence of the stream flow stirs them up and keeps them from sinking. Turbulence includes swirls and eddies that form in water as a result of friction between the stream and its channel. The faster a stream flows, the more turbulent and muddy it becomes. A rough or irregular channel also increases turbulence. A river may also transport rock materials in its bed load. The bed load consists of sand, pebbles, and boulders that are too heavy to be carried in suspension. These heavier materials are moved along the streambed, especially during floods. Boulders and pebbles roll or slide along the river bed. Large sand grains are pushed along the bottom in a series of jumps and bounces. The relative amounts of a river’s load that are carried in solution, in suspension, and in the bed load depend on the nature of the river, the climate, the type of bedrock, and the season of the year. As a general rule, most of the load carried by the world’s streams and rivers is carried in suspension. The size of a river’s suspended load increases with human land use. Road and building construction and removal of vegetation make it easier for rain to wash sediment into streams and rivers.

A person climbs out of swimming pool and stands in the open air.Explain why evaporation of water from the surface of the persons
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The person feels cool at first because the swimming pool water is usually cool and he/she has that water on his body. But when it evaporates, the cool air directly touches his body and that's why he/she feels cold.
