Explanation :

As the ambulance got closer, Marge noticed that the pitch of the siren got higher. This is due to the Doppler's effect.

The siren of the ambulance has a higher pitch when it approaches Marge. When the waves move away from him, it will have a lower pitch.

As the waves come closer to us, the waves become compressed and hence the frequency of the wave increases.

M=3000km v=25m/s what’s the momentum

valina [46]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Momentum of the given body will be : 75000 Kg m/s

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to Newton's first law of motion, all bodies continue to be in the state of rest or motion unless an external force is applied on the body. We can use this in the case of momentum also

The formula of momentum is given by :

$:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = mv$

Here, we are given the mass of the body ( m ) as 3000kg and the velocity of the body ( v ) as 25 m/s. On putting the values in the formula:

$\begin{aligned}&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = mv \\& :\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = 3000 \times 25 \\ & :\implies \sf\quad \sf \: \boxed{ \sf \: P = 75000kgm {s}^{ - 1} } \end{aligned}$

Momentum is associated with the mass of the moving body and can be defined as the quantity of motion measured as a product of mass and velocity.

There are competitions in which pilots fly small planes low over the ground and drop weights, trying to hit a target. A pilot fl

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Also 3s.

Explanation:

Each component is independent in two dimensional motion. This means that <em>how much time does something take to reach the ground when dropped is independent from any horizontal velocity</em>. If at one run a drop lasts 3s, at another run with twice the (horizontal) velocity and same height will also last 3s, no matter what.

What is the speed of a wave in (m/s) with a 5 meter wavelength and a period of 20 seconds?

arlik [135]

Answer: 0.25 m/s

Explanation: Speed = wavelengt · frequency

v = λf and frequency is 1/period f = 1/T

Then v = λ/T = 5 m / 20 s = 0.25 m/s

A wave has a wavelength of 9 mm and a frequency of 14 hertz. What is its speed?

lesantik [10]

Wavespeed = frequency x wavelength
= 14 x 9
= 126 mm/s
= 0.126 m/s

A ship 1200m off shore fires a gun. how long after the gun is fired will it be heard on the shore?

ryzh [129]

Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired
