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.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

OT

It is important to wear protective equipments during games and practices.

Explanation:

Practice is a review of what is about to happen in some time to come and with practice ,the future can be trusted.

During practice it is very important to use protective gears or equipments because without them, injuries and accidents are liable to occur.

During the major game it is also important to prevent accidents or big injuries as the equipments protect each vital part of the body.

What is folk remedies
mario62 [17]

A "folk" remedy is something you choose to eat, take, or do,
in order to correct some health issue, because your friend,
your grandmother, your religion, your shaman, your astrologer,
or your medicine man says that it's the right thing to do. 

It may or may not be effective, and it may or may not even be
safe.  What distinguishes it from mainstream medicine is that
its practices are based on hearsay, and have not been subjected
to scientific methods of investigation and evaluation.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a) 4.45 m/s

b) 0.9 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -9.81\times 1}\\\Rightarrow u=4.45\ m/s

a) The vertical speed when the player leaves the ground is 4.45 m/s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-4.45}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.45\ s

Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.45 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 1=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{1\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.45\ s

Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.45 seconds

b) Time the player stayed in the air is 0.45+0.45 = 0.9 seconds
