Two police cars have identical sirens that produce sound of frequency of 570 Hz. A stationary listener is standing between two c

ars. One car is parked and the other is approaching the listener and both have their sirens on. The listener measures 9.0 beats per second. Find the speed of the approaching police car. The speed of sound is 340 m/s.

Answer:

The speed of approaching police car is 5.35 m/s.

Explanation:

Given :

Police car actual frequency = 570 Hz

No of beats heard by stationary observer = 9

The speed of sound = 340 m/s

Beats is nothing but the difference of the frequency that heard by the observer.

According to the doppler equation,

⇒  f = f' (v-vo)/(v-vs)

Where f= observed frequency, f' = actual frequency, v = speed of sound,

vo = speed of observer, vs = speed of source.

One car approach stationary listener (vo\\ = 0 )

∴ f1 = 570×(340)/(340-vs)

One car parked, so ( vs = 0) and vo=0

∴ f2 = 570

From beats,

∴ f1 -f2=\\ no. of beats.

Where f1 = frequency of approaching car, f2 = frequency of stationary car.

∴ 570×340/(340-vs) - 570 = 9

While solving above equation,

∴ vs = 5.35 m/s.

Therefore, the speed of approaching police car is 5.35m/s.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

4v/3

Explanation:

Assume elastic collision by the law of momentum conservation:

m_1v = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

where v is the original speed of car 1, v1 is the final speed of car 1 and v2 is final speed of car 2. m1 and m2 are masses of car 1 and car 2, respectively

Substitute m_2 = m_1/2 \& v_1 = v/3

m_1v = \frac{m_1v}{3} + \frac{m_1v_2}{2}

Divide both side by m_1, then multiply by 6 we have

6v = 2v + 3v_2

3v_2 = 4v

v_2 = \frac{4v}{3}

So the final speed of the second car is 4/3 of the first car original speed

Please help me with this question
valkas [14]

Answer: m∠P ≈ 46,42°

because using the law of sines in ΔPQR

=> sin 75°/ 4 = sin P/3

so ur friend is wrong due to confusion between edges

+) we have: sin 75°/4 = sin P/3

=> sin P = sin 75°/4 . 3 = (3√6 + 3√2)/16

=> m∠P ≈ 46,42°

The density of nuclear matter is about 1018 kg/m3. Given that 1 mL is equal in volume to 1 cm3, what is the density of nuclear m
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

density is 10^{6} Mg/µL

Explanation:

given data

density of nuclear = 10^{18} kg/m³

1 ml = 1 cm³

to find out

density of nuclear matter in Mg/µL

solution

we know here

1 Mg = 1000 kg

so

1 m³ is equal to 10^{6} cm³

and here 1 cm³ is equal to  1 mL

so we can say 1 mL is equal to 10³ µL

so by these we can convert density

density = 10^{18} kg/m³

density = 10^{18} kg/m³ × \frac{10^{-3} }{10^{6} }  Mg/µL

density =  10^{6} Mg/µL
