Answer: 0.4 m

Explanation:

Given

Speed of ambulance, vs = 61.9 m/s

Speed of car = 28.5 m/s

Frequency of ambulance siren, f = 694 Hz

Velocity of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

With speed of ambulance being (61.9 m/s) -> We solve using

fd = f(v + vr) / (v - vs), where vr = 0

fd = 694 * (343 + 0) / (343 - 61.9)

fd = 694 * (343 / 281.1)

fd = 694 * 1.22

fd = 847 Hz

Recall,

λ = v/f

λ = 343/847

λ = 0.4 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the sound of the ambulance’s siren if you are standing at the position of the car is 0.4 m

What is an element that needs to lose or gain<br> 4 valence electrons in order to become<br> stable?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Elements in Group 14 could lose four, or gain four electrons to achieve a noble gas structure. In fact, if they are going to form ions, Group 14 elements form positive ions. Carbon and silicon form covalent bonds. Carbon's millions of organic compounds are all based on shared electrons in covalent bonds.

A positively charged wire with uniform charge density +λ lies along the x-axis and a negatively charged wire with uniform charge
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0}[\frac{1}{y}(\^y) - \frac{1}{x}(\^x)]

Explanation:

The electric field created by an infinitely long wire can be found by Gauss' Law.

\int \vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi r h = \frac{\lambda h}{\epsilon_0}\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 r} \^r

For the electric field at point (x,y), the superposition of electric fields created by both lines should be calculated. The distance 'r' for the first wire is equal to 'y', and equal to 'x' for the second wire.

\vec{E} = \vec{E}_1 + \vec{E}_2 = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 y}(\^y) + \frac{-\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 x}(\^x)\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 y}(\^y) - \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 x}(\^x)\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0}[\frac{1}{y}(\^y) - \frac{1}{x}(\^x)]
