Answer:

31.2 m/s

Explanation:

f_{app} = Frequency of approach = 480 Hz

f_{aw} = Frequency of going away = 400 Hz

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

v = Speed of truck

Frequency of approach is given as

f_{app} = \frac{Vf}{V - v}                           eq-1

Frequency of moving awayy is given as

f_{aw} = \frac{Vf}{V + v}                          eq-2

Dividing eq-1 by eq-2

\frac{f_{app}}{f_{aw}} = \frac{V + v}{V - v}

\frac{480}{400} = \frac{343 + v}{343 - v}

v = 31.2 m/s

Answer:

The velocity is 18.68m/s

Explanation:

Bernoulli's equation is applicable for stream line flow of a fluid. The flow must be steady and uniform flow. The Bernoulli's equation between inlet and outlet is written as:

P1/pg + V1/2g + Z1 = P2/pg + V2^2 + Z2

Where V1 and V2 are velocity of fluid at point 1 and 2b. The diameter of the tank too will be larger than that of the nozzle. Hence the velocity at point 1 will be 0.V1= 0

Substituting the values in to the equation

250 ×10^3/1000g + 0/g + 2.5 = 100×10^3/1000g + V2^2/2g + 0

250 + 2.5g = 100 + V2^2/2

250 + (2.5 × 9.8) = 100 V2^2/2

250 + 23.525- 100 = V2^2/2

174.525 = V2^2/2

Cross multiply

174.525 × 2 = V2^2

V2 = 349.05

V2 = Sqrt(349.05)

V2 = 18.68m/s

. The speedometer readings of a car are shown below. Find the acceleration of the car and its displacement.
Alchen [17]

It is given that u=36km/h

V= 72km/h

We have to convert it into m/s ao we will multiply it with 5/18

U=36×5/18=10

V=72×5/18=20

So acceleration =v-u/t

= 20-10/t

The time will be 9:45-9:25=20min

So we will convert it into second

= 20×60

a=20-10/20×60

=10/20×60

1/120

From  newtons 2nd law

V^2-u^2=2as

S=v^2-u^2/2a

=400-100×120/2

=18000m/s
