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.
Requried:

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>

Write down an example scenario of an object that has acceleration
Grace [21]

Answer:

An object which experiences either a change in the magnitude or the direction of the velocity vector can be said to be accelerating. This explains why an object moving in a circle at constant speed can be said to accelerate - the direction of the velocity changes.

if a car turns a corner at constant speed, it is accelerating because its direction is changing. The quicker you turn, the greater the acceleration. So there is an acceleration when velocity changes either in magnitude (an increase or decrease in speed) or in direction, or both.
