A sound source A and a reflecting surface B move directly toward each other. Relative to the air, the speed of source A is 28.7

m/s, the speed of surface B is 62.2 m/s, and the speed of sound is 334 m/s. The source emits waves at frequency 1110 Hz as measured in the source frame. In the reflector frame, what are (a) the frequency and (b) the wavelength of the arriving sound waves? In the source frame, what are (c) the frequency and (d) the wavelength of the sound waves reflected back to the source?

(a) 1440.5 Hz

The general formula for the Doppler effect is

f'=(\frac{v+v_r}{v+v_s})f

where

f is the original frequency

f is the apparent frequency

v is the velocity of the wave

v_r is the velocity of the receiver (positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative otherwise)

v_s is the velocity of the source (positive if the source is moving away from the receiver, negative otherwise)

Here we have

f = 1110 Hz

v = 334 m/s

In the reflector frame (= on surface B), we have also

v_s = v_A = -28.7 m/s (surface A is the source, which is moving towards the receiver)

v_r = +62.2 m/s (surface B is the receiver, which is moving towards the source)

So, the frequency observed in the reflector frame is

f'=(\frac{334 m/s+62.2 m/s}{334 m/s-28.7 m/s})1110 Hz=1440.5 Hz

(b) 0.232 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

In the reflector frame,

f = 1440.5 Hz

So the wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{334 m/s}{1440.5 Hz}=0.232 m

(c) 1481.2 Hz

Again, we can use the same formula

f'=(\frac{v+v_r}{v+v_s})f

In the source frame (= on surface A), we have

v_s = v_B = -62.2 m/s (surface B is now the source, since it reflects the wave, and it is moving towards the receiver)

v_r = +28.7 m/s (surface A is now the receiver, which is moving towards the source)

So, the frequency observed in the source frame is

f'=(\frac{334 m/s+28.7 m/s}{334 m/s-62.2 m/s})1110 Hz=1481.2 Hz

(d) 0.225 m

The wavelength of the wave is given by

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where in this case we have

v = 334 m/s

f = 1481.2 Hz is the apparent in the source frame

So the wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{334 m/s}{1481.2 Hz}=0.225 m

il63 [147K]

The difference in weight is due to the displacement of water (the buoyancy of water is acting on the athlete thus giving her smaller weight).<span>

The amount of weight displaced or the amount of buoyant force is: </span>

Fb = 690 N - 48 N

Fb = 642 N

From newtons law, F = m*g. Using this formula, we can calculate for the mass of water displaced:

m of water displaced = 642N / 9.8m/s^2

m of water displaced = 65.5 kg

Assuming a water density of 1 kg/L, and using the formula volume = mass/density:

V of water displaced = 65.5kg / 1kg/L = 65.5 L

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of athlete. Therefore:

V of athlete = 65.5 L

The mass of athlete can also be calculated using, F = m*g

m of athlete = 690 N/ 9.8m/s^2

m of athlete = 70.41 kg

 

Knowing the volume and mass of athlete, her average density is therefore:

average density = 70.41 kg / 65.5 L

<span>average density = 1.07 kg/L = 1.07 g/mL</span>

Identify two structural characteristics specific to muscle tissue.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Muscle cells are excitable; they respond to a stimulus.meaning they can shorten and generate a pulling force. When attached between two movable objects, such as two bones, contraction of the muscles cause the bones to move.It contains protein fibers which contract to make the cell shorter.

A runner drank a lot of water during a race. What is the expected path of the extra filtered water molecules?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Afferent arteriole, glomerulus, nephron tubule, collecting duct

Explanation:

Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery, a thick branch from the descending aorta. In the hilum, it is divided into several branches that are distributed through the lobes of the kidney and are branching forming numerous afferent arterioles that form the glomerular clew. It is precisely the walls of these capillaries that act as ultrafilters, allowing small particles to pass through.

Blood that flows through the <u>afferent arteriole</u> circulates through the capillary vessels of the kidney (the true capillaries that provide the kidney with oxygen and nutrients necessary for its function). These capillaries are grouped together to form the renal vein which, in turn, pours into the inferior vena cava.

Given the function of the kidneys to eliminate waste products through urine, it is not surprising that these organs are the ones that receive the most blood per gram of weight. One way to express renal blood flow is by considering the renal fraction or fraction of cardiac output that passes through the kidneys.

The regulation of blood flow in the glomeruli is achieved by three formations: the polar bearing, the Goormaghtigh cells and the dense macula. The polar bearing consists of a thickening of the afferent arteriole wall before it enters the <u>renal glomerulus</u>. The arteriole loses its elastic membrane, the endothelium becomes discontinuous and the middle tunic is arranged in two layers, formed by secretory cells: these secretory cells produce Angiotensin and Erythropoietin.

Goormaghtigh cells are arranged at an angle between afferent and effector arterioles and meet in small columns. They are closely related to polar bearing cells. Between both formations is the dense macula (or Zimmerman's dense macula) that is in contact with the distal tubule and afferent arteriole just before it penetrates the glomerulus. These three formations, polar bearing, Goormaghtigh cells and dense macula form the juxtaglomerular apparatus that regulates the blood flow in the glomerulus.

<u>Nephrons</u> regulate water and soluble matter (especially Electrolytes) in the body, by first filtering the blood under pressure, and then reabsorbing some necessary fluid and molecules back into the blood while secreting other unnecessary molecules.

The reabsorption and secretion are achieved with the mechanisms of Cotransporte and Contratransporte established in the nephrons and associated collection ducts. Blood filtration occurs in the glomerulus, a capping of capillaries that is inside a Bowman's capsule.

Liquid flows from the nephron in the <u>collecting duct</u> system. This segment of the nephron is crucial to the process of water conservation by the body. In the presence of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH; also called vasopressin), these ducts become water permeable and facilitate their reabsorption, thus concentrating the urine and reducing its volume. Conversely, when the body must remove excess water, for example after drinking excess fluid, ADH production is decreased and the collecting tubule becomes less permeable to water, making the urine diluted and abundant.
