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

Gwar [14]
So we want to know what do electric field lines show except strength of the electric field. Electric field lines are lines that show us the field strength and the DIRECTION of the electric field. If the lines point away from the charge that is producing the lines, the charge is positive, and if the lines point towards the charge that is producing them that charge is negative.

Atoms that are bonded together to form a new material with new<br> properties and characteristics. .
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. ... An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.
