Two automobiles are equipped with the same singlefrequency horn. When one is at rest and the other is moving toward the first at

20 m/s , the driver at rest hears a beat frequency of 9.0 Hz.

Answer: f ≈ 8.5Hz

Explanation: The phenomenon known as <u>Doppler</u> <u>Shift</u> is characterized as a change in frequency when one observer is stationary and the source emitting the frequency is moving or when both observer and source are moving.

For a source moving and a stationary observer, to determine the frequency:

f_{0} = f_{s}.\frac{c}{c-v_{s}}

where:

f_{0} is frequency of observer;

f_{s} is frequency of source;

c is the constant speed of sound c = 340m/s;

v_{s} is velocity of source;

Rearraging for frequency of source:

f_{0} = f_{s}.\frac{c}{c-v_{s}}

f_{s} = f_{0}.\frac{c-v_{s}}{c}

Replacing and calculating:

f_{s} = 9.(\frac{340-20}{340})

f_{s} = 9.(0.9412)

f_{s} = 8.5

<u>Frequency the horns emit is 8.5Hz.</u>

The two waves shown below pass through the same medium in the phases shown and interfere with each other.
ale4655 [162]

A. W

Explanation:

The wave that would be produced by the interaction of the two waves shown in the diagram is wave W.

There is no wave in the diagram W.

This type of interference is known as destructive interference.

  • Destructive interference occurs when two waves out of phase comes together.
  • In this way, they cancel out each other and are terminated.
  • If the two waves are in phase, they will reinforce one another.
  • When waves reinforce one another, a constructive interference has occurred.

Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceed
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The railroad tracks are 13 m above the windshield (12 m without intermediate rounding).

Explanation:

First, let´s calculate the time it took the driver to travel the 27 m to the point of impact.

The equation for the position of the car is:

x = v · t

Where

x = position at time t

v = velocity

t = time

x = v · t

27 m = 17 m/s · t

27 m / 17 m/s = t

t = 1.6 s

Now let´s calculate the distance traveled by the bolt in that time. Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the height of the windshield:

The position of the bolt will be:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Where

y = height of the bolt at time t

y0 = initial height of the bolt

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the windshield, at time 1.6 s the height of the bolt will be 0 m (impact on the windshield). Then, we can calculate the initial height of the bolt which is the height of the railroad tracks above the windshield:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = y0 -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.6 s)²

y0 = 13 m

A 250 - ω resistor is connected in series with a 4.80 - μf capacitor. the voltage across the capacitor is vc=(7.60v)⋅sin[(120rad
galben [10]
<span>553 ohms The Capacitive reactance of a capacitor is dependent upon the frequency. The lower the frequency, the higher the reactance, the higher the frequency, the lower the reactance. The equation is Xc = 1/(2*pi*f*C) where Xc = Reactance in ohms pi = 3.1415926535..... f = frequency in hertz. C = capacitance in farads. I'm assuming that the voltage and resistor mentioned in the question are for later parts that are not mentioned in this question. Reason is that they have no effect on the reactance, but would have an effect if a question about current draw is made in a later part. With that said, let's calculate the reactance. The 120 rad/s frequency is better known as 60 Hz. Substitute known values into the formula. Xc = 1/(2*pi* 60 * 0.00000480) Xc = 1/0.001809557 Xc = 552.6213302 Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 553 ohms.</span>
