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

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

A group of students prepare for a robotic competition and build a robot that can launch large spheres of mass M in the horizonta

jeyben [28]

Answer:

$V_0$

Explanation:

Given that, the range covered by the sphere, $M$ , when released by the robot from the height, $H$ , with the horizontal speed $V_0$ is $D$ as shown in the figure.

The initial velocity in the vertical direction is $0$ .

Let $g$ be the acceleration due to gravity, which always acts vertically downwards, so, it will not change the horizontal direction of the speed, i.e. $V_0$ will remain constant throughout the projectile motion.

So, if the time of flight is $t$ , then

$D=V_0t\; \cdots (i)$

Now, from the equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac 1 2 at^2\;\cdots (ii)$

Where $s$ is the displacement is the direction of force, $u$ is the initial velocity, $a$ is the constant acceleration and $t$ is time.

Here, $s= -H, u=0,$ and $a=-g$ (negative sign is for taking the sigh convention positive in $+y$ direction as shown in the figure.)

So, from equation (ii),

$-H=0\times t +\frac 1 2 (-g)t^2$

$\Rightarrow H=\frac 1 2 gt^2$

$\Rightarrow t=\sqrt {\frac {2H}{g}}\;\cdots (iii)$

Similarly, for the launched height $2H$ , the new time of flight, $t'$ , is

$t'=\sqrt {\frac {4H}{g}}$

From equation (iii), we have

$\Rightarrow t'=\sqrt 2 t\;\cdots (iv)$

Now, the spheres may be launched at speed $V_0$ or $2V_0$ .

Let, the distance covered in the $x-$ direction be $D_1$ for $V_0$ and $D_2$ for $2V_0$ , we have

$D_1=V_0t'$

$D_1=V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=1.41 D$ (approximately)

This is in the $3$ points range as given in the figure.

Similarly, $D_2=2V_0t'$

$D_2=2V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2.82 D$ (approximately)

This is out of range, so there is no point for $2V_0$ .

Hence, students must choose the speed $V_0$ to launch the sphere to get the maximum number of points.

Describe the astronomical achievement of Mesopotamia

Annette [7]

Beginning around 5,500 years ago, the Sumerians built cities along the rivers in Lower Mesopotamia, specialized, cooperated, and made many advances in technology. The wheel, plow, and writing (a system which we call cuneiform) are examples of their achievements.

In which of the following examples does the object have both kinetic and potential energy? Select all that apply.

I believe the answer is H for when you bounce it, it has stress when it hits the floor and then goes up giving it kinetic

If Juan upgrades from a sports car to a large truck, what will happen to the

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The force will have to increase

Explanation:

Since Juan has upgraded from a sports car to a large truck, based on Newton's second law of motion, the force needed to keep the truck going at the same speed will have to increase.

According to Newton's second law "the force on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration".

Force = mass x acceleration

A truck has a larger mass compared to a sports car.

By virtue of this, to make sure both automobiles attain the same speed, the force powering them to accelerate must be the same.

Therefore, the force from the engine must increase.
