What happens to the sound waves when the source of the sound is moving toward you

Physics

Alexxandr [17]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

The perceived frequency is higher than the actual emitted sound frequency. that means that the received sound waves are of shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

When the source of a sound wave is moving toward the observer, the perceived frequency of the wave changes in relation to the observer producing a change in pitch. The effect is called Doppler effect in honor of the physicist who formulated the physical explanation.

In the case of the sound source approaching the observer, the perceived frequency is higher than that actually emitted by the sound source.

A tuning fork vibrating at 508 Hz falls from rest and accelerates at 9.80 m/s^2. How far below the point of release is the tunin

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

tuning fork vibration = 508 Hz

accelerates = 9.80 m/s²

speed of sound = 343 m/s

observed frequency = 490 Hz

$f_s = f(\dfrac{v}{v-(-v_s)})$

$f_s = f(\dfrac{v}{v+v_s})$

$v_s = v[\dfrac{f_s}{f_o}-1]$

$= 343[\dfrac{508}{490}-1]$

$v_s=12.6 m/s$

distance the tunning fork has fallen

$y_1=\dfrac{v^2}{2a_y}$

$=\dfrac{12.6^2}{2\times 9.8}$

=8.1 m

now, time required for the observed will be

$t = \dfrac{8.1}{343} = 0.023 s$

now, for the distance calculation

$y_2 = u\ t + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$= 12.6\times 0.023 +\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times 0.023^2$

=0.293 m

total distance

= 8.1 + 0.293 = 8.392 m

A box slides down a 30.0° ramp with an acceleration of 1.20 m/s^2. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box

Zielflug [23.3K]

m = mass of the box

N = normal force on the box

f = kinetic frictional force on the box

a = acceleration of the box

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

perpendicular to incline , force equation is given as

N = mg Cos30 eq-1

kinetic frictional force is given as

f = μ N

using eq-1

f = μ mg Cos30

parallel to incline , force equation is given as

mg Sin30 - f = ma

mg Sin30 - μ mg Cos30 = ma

"m" cancel out

a = g Sin30 - μ g Cos30

inserting the values

1.20 = (9.8) Sin30 - (9.8) Cos30 μ

μ = 0.44

Which scenario represents the strongest force? (Assume particles in all scenarios are the same distance apart.) a) Protons and n

Lana71 [14]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The force of attraction existent between the proton and neutron in the nucleus of an atom is extremely large. When the nucleus splits there is a large release of heat and energy larger than the force present in any of the other options listed.
