Answer:

The wavelength is 0.14 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency = 2450 Hz

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

v=  f\lambda

Where, v = speed of sound

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{343}{2450}

\lambda=0.14\ m

Hence,  The wavelength is 0.14 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of the siren, f = 2450 Hz

The speed of sound, v = 343 m/s

Here, both ambulance and the observer is stationary. The observed frequency is calculated using Doppler's effect as :

f'=\dfrac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}\times f

v_o is the velocity of observer

v_s is the velocity of source

v is the speed of sound wave

Here, v_o=v_s=0

So, f' = f

f' = 2450 Hz

Wavelength, \lambda'=\dfrac{v}{f'}

\lambda'=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2450\ Hz}

\lambda'=0.14\ m

So, the frequency and wavelength of the observed sound is 2450 Hz and 0.14 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?<br> Plz make it as simple as possible
valina [46]
In magnets the molecules are uniquely arranged so that their electrons spin in the same direction. This arrangement of atoms creates two poles in a magnet, a North-seeking pole and a South-seeking pole. The magnetic force in a magnet flows from the North pole to the South pole.so if there both south or both north the atoms can’t flow through causing them to stop flowing

seraphim [82]

Answer:

51kg

Explanation:

w=FxS

2500=Fx5

F=2500/5=500

mass = 500/9.8 = 51kg
