A speaker at the front of a room and an identical speaker at the rear of the room are being driven at 456 Hz by the same sound s

ource. A student walks at a uniform rate of 1.12 m/s away from one speaker and toward the other. How many beats does the student hear per second? (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.) Hint: The Doppler effect causes both frequencies to be shifted. The difference between those two frequencies is what causes the beats.

Answer:

2.97795 Hz

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

v_r = Relative speed between the speakers and the student = 1.12 m/s

f' = Actual frequency of sound = 456 Hz

Frequency of sound heard as the student moves away from one speaker

f_1=f'\dfrac{v-v_r}{v}\\\Rightarrow f_1=456\dfrac{343-1.12}{343}\\\Rightarrow f_1=454.51102\ Hz

Frequency of sound heard as the student moves closer to the other speaker

f_2=f'\dfrac{v+v_r}{v}\\\Rightarrow f_2=456\dfrac{343+1.12}{343}\\\Rightarrow f_2=457.48897\ Hz

The difference in the frequencies is

f_2-f_1=457.48897-454.51102=2.97795\ Hz

The student hears 2.97795 Hz

It is determined that a certain wave of infrared light has a wavelength of 8.45 mm. Given that c=2.99 ×108 m/s, what is the freq
irina [24]

Answer:

The frequency of infrared wave is 35.385 GHz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of infrared light = 8.45 mm = 8.45 x 10^{-3} m

Velocity of infrared light = 2.99 x 10^{8} m/s

To find: frequency of the infrared wave = ?

We know that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional and the formula to derive frequency with velocity and wavelength is:

c = μλ, where

c is velocity of light

μ is frequency of light

λ is wavelength of light

Hence the frequency of light  μ = c/λ

                                                     = \frac{2.99 x 10^{8} m/s }{8.45 x 10^{-3}m }

                                                     = \frac{299}{8.45} x 10^{9} s^{-1}

                                                     =  35.385  x  10^{9} Hz   (since 1 s^{-1} = 1 Hz)

                                                     = 35.385 GHz

How’s does my friend cell phone communicate with them? How does it speak with my voice to them?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

A microchip in the phone modulates (or varies) a radio wave using the electrical signal. The radio wave travels through the air to a nearby cell tower; the tower sends your voice to the person you are calling and the process is reversed so that the person on the other end can hear your voice.

If you swing a bucket of water fast enough in a vertical circle, at the highest point the water does not spill out. This happens
amm1812

Answer:

True

Explanation:

If we swing a bucket of water fast enough in a vertical circle the water does not spill out even at the top-most position of the bucket. This happens because the centrifugal force acting away from the center in a circular motion neutralizes or overcomes the gravitational force on the water particles.

<u>Centrifugal force is mathematically related as:</u>

F=m.r.\omega^2

where:

m = mass of the revolving body

r = radius of revolution

\omega= angular velocity in radians per second

This force F acts in radially outward direction.

What would most likely happen if the power lines in a petroleum power plant were broken
Vaselesa [24]
<span>Customers would not get electricity. If the transmission lines [heavy power] leaving the plant broke [zap], it's just fix the transmission lines. But if the generators or main switch gear were lost, so the plant itself has no power, it can get ugly. </span>

2. An archer shoots an arrow at 83.0 m/s at a 62.0 degree angle. If the ground is flat, how much time is the arrow in the air?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

<em>t=14.96 sec</em>

Explanation:

<u>Diagonal Launch </u>

It's a physical event that happens where an object is thrown in free air (no friction) forming an angle with the horizontal reference. The object then describes a path called a parabola.

The object will reach its maximum height and then return to the height from which it was launched. The equation for the height is :

\displaystyle y=y_o+v_osin\theta \ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where vo is the initial speed, \theta is the angle, t is the time and g is the acceleration of gravity .

In this problem we'll assume the arrow was launched from the ground level (won't consider the archer's height). Thus y_o=0, and:

\displaystyle y=v_osin\theta \ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

The value of y is zero twice: when t=0 (at launching time) and in t=t_f when it goes back to the ground. We need to find that time t_f by making y=0

\displaystyle 0=v_osin\theta\ t_f-\frac{gt_f^2}{2}

Dividing by t_f

\displaystyle v_osin\theta=\frac{gt_f}{2}

Then we find the total flight time as

\displaystyle t_f=\frac{2v_osin\theta}{g}

\displaystyle t_f=\frac{2(83)sin\ 62^o}{9.8}

\displaystyle t_f=14.96\ sec
