To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as

f_d= f_s \frac{(v+v_d)}{(v-v_s)}

Here,

f_d=frequency received by detector

f_s=frequency of wave emitted by source

v_d=velocity of detector

v_s=velocity of source

v=velocity of sound wave

Replacing we have that,

f_d = 400(\frac{(343+18)}{(343-35)})

f_d=422 Hz

Therefore the frequencty that will hear the passengers is 422Hz

1. In a<br> wave, the particles of the<br> medium move in the same direction as the<br> wave motion.
iragen [17]
In sound waves, the particles move in the same direction as the wave is moving, so you wouldn't be able to see them like ripples in the air, instead they make areas in the air where the particles are more squished together, and areas where the particles are further apart.

What is a conservation law? What is the basic approach taken when using a conservation law?
Burka [1]
A conservation law is law on a certain measurable property that is said to not change as the system undergo changes over a certain time. These laws include, conservation of mass, energy and momentum. The basic approach for these laws is to make balances and make sure the flow in is equal to what is going out the system.<span />

A force of 900 N pushes a wedge 0.10 m into a log. If the work done on the log is 50 J, what is the efficiency of the wedge?
Anna [14]

Answer:

55.56%

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the work done in pushing the wedge. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 900 N

Distance (s) = 0.1 m

Workdone (Wd) =..?

Wd = F × s

Wd = 900 × 0.1

Wd = 90 J

Finally, we shall determine the efficiency. This can be obtained as follow:

Work output = 50 J

Work input = 90 J

Efficiency =?

Efficiency = work output / work input

Efficiency = 50 / 90 × 100

Efficiency = 55.56%

Thus, the efficiency is 55.56%
