Beats: A policeman in a stationary car measures the speed of approaching cars by means of an ultrasonic device that emits a soun

d with a frequency of 39.6 kHz. A car is approaching him at a speed of 35.0 m/s. The wave is reflected by the car and interferes with the emitted sound producing beats. What is the frequency of the beats when the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s?

Answer:

The frequency of the beats is 43.6408 kHz

Explanation:

Given:

f = frequency = 39.6 kHz

vc = speed of the car = 35 m/s

vs = speed of the sound = 343 m/s

Question: What is the frequency of the beats, f' = ?

As the car moves towards the source, the frequency of the beats

f'=f*(1+\frac{v_{c} }{v_{s} } )=39.6*(1+\frac{35}{343} )=43.6408kHz

AEROSPACE On the Moon, a falling object falls just 2.65 feet in the first second after being dropped. Each second it falls 5.3 f
aniked [119]

Answer:

d = 265 ft

Therefore, an object fall 265 ft in the first ten seconds after being dropped

Explanation:

This scenario can be represented by an arithmetic progression AP.

nth term = a + nd

Where a is the first term given as 2.63 ft.

d is the common difference and is given as 5.3ft.

n is the particular second/time.

To calculate how far the object would fall in the first 10 seconds, we can derive it using the sum of an AP.

d = nth sum = (n/2)(2a+(n-1)d)

Where n = 10 seconds

a = 2.65 ft

d = 5.3 ft

Substituting the values we have;

d = (10/2)(2×2.65 + (10-1)5.3)

d = 265 ft

Therefore, an object fall 265 ft in the first ten seconds after being dropped
