Answer:

The speed of the police car is 294 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the siren in air, f = 280 Hz

speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

Determine the wavelength of the sound in air to the stationary car:

v = fλ

where;

λ is wavelength of the sound

λ = v/f

λ = 343 / 280

λ = 1.225 m

Now, determine the speed at which the police car is approaching the stationary car;

The actual frequency of the police car, F = 240 Hz

V = Fλ

Where;

V is speed of the police car

λ is the distance between the police car and the stationary car, (wavelength)

V = 240 x 1.225

V = 294 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the police car is 294 m/s

A person climbs out of swimming pool and stands in the open air.Explain why evaporation of water from the surface of the persons
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The person feels cool at first because the swimming pool water is usually cool and he/she has that water on his body. But when it evaporates, the cool air directly touches his body and that's why he/she feels cold.

A cello string 0.75 m long has a 220 hz fundamental frequency. find the wave speed along the vibrating string. answer in units o
maxonik [38]
For fundamental frequency of a string to occur, the length of the string has to be half the wavelength. That is,

1/2y = L, where L = length of the string, y = wavelength.

Therefore,
y = 2L = 2*0.75 =1.5 m

Additionally,
y = v/f Where v = wave speed, and f = ferquncy

Then,
v = y*f = 1.5*220 = 330 m/s
