Answer:

915 Hz

Explanation:

The observed frequency from a sound source is given as

f₀ = f [(v + v₀)/(v+vₛ)]

where

f₀ = observed frequency of the sound by the observer = ?

f = actual frequency of the sound wave = 983 Hz

v = actual velocity of the sound waves = 343 m/s

vₛ = velocity of the source of the sound waves = 55.9 m/s

v₀ = velocity of the observer = 28.4 m/s

f₀ = 983 [(343+28.4)/(343+55.9)]

f₀ = 915.2 Hz = 915 Hz

A jet airliner moving initially at 406 mph (with respect to the ground) to the east moves into a region where the wind is blowin
astraxan [27]

Answer:

966 mph

Explanation:

Using as convention:

- East --> positive x-direction

- North --> Positive y-direction

The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as

v_{1x} = 406 mph\\v_{1y} = 0

While the components of the velocity of the wind are

v_{2x} = (568)(cos 15^{\circ})=548.6 mph\\v_{2y} = (568)(sin 15^{\circ})=147.0 mph

So the components of the resultant velocity of the jet are

v_x = v_{1x}+v_{2x}=406+548.6=954.6 mph\\v_y = v_{1y}+v_{2y}=0+147.0=147.0 mph

And the new speed is the magnitude of the resultant velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(954.6)^2+(147.0)^2}=965.8 mph \sim 966 mph

How do we determine the conditions that existed in the very early universe? A We can only guess at the conditions, since we have
lakkis [162]

Answer:

D By looking all the way to the cosmological horizon, we can see the actual conditions that prevailed all the way back to the first instant of the Big Bang.

Explanation:

Astrophysicists are able to determine the conditions that existed in the early universe, by using instruments such as telescopes to observe and study cosmic horizons. More ideas about the early universe can be found from the thermal light present in cosmic backgrounds.

Scientists study these details that provide an insight into the conditions that existed so many years ago. They have been able to determine that the Big Bang involved so many collisions from these observations.
