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

larisa [96]

You are sitting at the center of a large turntable at an amusement park as it is set spinning freely. You decide to crawl towards the edge of the turntable. Rotational speed will decrease

There is no external torque

hence , the angular momentum of the table is conserved

L (initial) = L ( final)

since , L = m*v*r

where

m = mass

v = velocity

r = radius

If  the person is crawled towards the outer rim, then the rotational inertia of the turntable will increase. In order to conserve the angular momentum , its rotational speed will decrease as mass and radius cannot be altered .

Two tiny beads are 25 cm apart with no other charged objects or fields present. Bead A has a net charge of magnitude 10 nC and b
Alona [7]

Answer:

E. The force on A is exactly equal to the force on B.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

where

q_1 = Charge on particle 1

q_2 = Charge on particle 2

r = Distance between the charges

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 10\times 10^{-9}\times 1\times 10^{-9}}{(25\times 10^{-2})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.0000014384\ N

This force will be exerted on both the charges equally.

So, The force on A is exactly equal to the force on B

TiliK225 [7]
You may jump higher because the more the mass of the planet, the more gravitational force. There is less mass(and gravity) on Callisto so you wouldn’t be weighed down as much and can jump higher. Whereas on Jupiter there is more weight holding you down.
