Answer:

The amplitude  is  A =  90.2 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The frequency of when sound is approaching observer is   f = 392 Hz

     The frequency as the move away from observer  is  f_ a =  330 \ Hz

    The time between the pitch are t =  10 \ s

Here you are the observer and your friends are the source of the sound

The period is mathematically evaluated as

       T =  2 t

as it is the time to complete one oscillation which from on highest pitch to the next highest pitch

Now T can also be mathematically represented as

          T = \frac{2 \pi}{w}

Where  w is the angular velocity

=>   \frac{2 \pi}{w}  =  2 * 10

=>   w =  0.314 \ rad/sec

Now using Doppler Effect,

   The source of the sound is approaching the observer

The

          f = f_o (\frac{v}{v- wA} )

         392  = f_o (\frac{v}{v- wA} )

Where A is the amplitude

    So when the source is moving away from the observer

         f_a =  f_o (\frac{v}{v+ wA} )  

        330  =  f_o (\frac{v}{v+ wA} )  

Here  f_o is the fundamental frequency

Dividing the both equation  we have

           \frac{392}{330}  =  \frac{f_o(\frac{v}{v-wA} )}{f_o(\frac{v}{v+wA}}

           1.1878  = \frac{v+wA}{v-wA}

         1.1878 v -  1.1878 wA = v+wA

        1.1878 v = 2.1878 wA

=>     A =  \frac{(0.1878 * (330))}{(2.1878)* (0.314)}

         A =  90.2 \ m

Which part of the brain serves to regulate the endocrine system?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

hypothalamus

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is known as the master switchboard because it's the part of the brain that controls the endocrine system. The pituitary gland, which hangs by a thin stalk from the hypothalamus, is called the master gland of the body because it regulates the activity of the endocrine glands.

F=K*X,
F=M*a 

M*a=K*X

2.5*9.81=K*0.0276

24.525=K*0.0276

24.525/0.0276=K

K= 888.6 N/m ---- force constant 

assuming 2.5 refers to the new extension, just divide F/ 0.025

A jet airliner moving initially at 889 mph
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1500 mph

Explanation:

Take east to be +x and north to be +y.

The x component of the velocity is:

vₓ = 889 cos 0° + 830 cos 59°

vₓ = 1316.5 mph

The y component of the velocity is:

vᵧ = 889 sin 0° + 830 sin 59°

vᵧ = 711.4 mph

The speed is found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v² = (1316.5 mph)² + (711.4 mph)²

v = 1496 mph

Rounded to two significant figures, the jet's speed relative to the ground is 1500 mph.
