Answer:

993.52 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of sound emitted by the stationery train is 1057 Hz.

The car travels away from the train at 20.6 m/s.

The frequency the observer hears is given by the formula:

f_o = \frac{v - v_o}{v}f

where v = velocity of sound = 343 m/s

vo = velocity of observer

f = frequency from source

This phenomenon is known as Doppler's effect.

Therefore:

f_o = \frac{343 - 20.6}{343} * 1057\\ \\f_o = 322.4 / 343 * 1057\\\\f_o = 993.52 Hz

The frequency heard by the observer is 993.52 Hz.

alukav5142 [94]
As this happens over twelve seconds, you would take the total difference in velocities and divide it by twelve to find the change per second

44.0 m/s - 2.0 m/s = 42.0 m/s 

42.0 m/s / 12 s = 3.5 m/s2

the acceleration of the rock would be 3.5 m/s2

NeTakaya

Answer:

6 month interval

Explanation:

The distance to a nearby star in theory is more simple than

one might think! First we must learn about the parallax effect. This is the mechanism our eyes use to perceive things at a distance! When we look at the star from the earth we see it at different angles throughout the earth's movement around the sun similar to how we see when we cover on eye at a time. Modern telescopes and technology can help calculate the angle of the star to the earth with just two measurements (attached photo!) Since we know the distance of the earth from the sun we can use a simple trigonometric function to calculate the distance to the star. The two measurements needed to calculate the angle of the star to the earth caused by parallax (in short angle θ) are shown in the second attached photo.

So using a simple trigonometric function Sin\theta=\frac{r}{d} we can solve for d which is the distance of the earth to the star:

d=\frac{r}{Sin\theta}

In the first attached photo a picture where r is the distance to the star and the base of the triangle is the diameter of the earth.
