A person watches an ambulance drive by them while emitting a steady sound from its siren. When the ambulance passes the person (

switching from moving towards him to moving away from him), the perceived frequency of the sound he receives decreases by 11.2 percent. How fast is the ambulance driving

Answer:

21.7 m/s

Explanation:

Let the velocity of ambulance is v and f is the real frequency of siren of ambulance.

the velocity of sound is 343 m/s

use the formula of Doppler's effect

f' = \frac{343}{343-v}f    .... (1)

where, f' is the frequency of at the first time.

Now the source is moving away from the person, the frequency is given by

f'' = \frac{343}{343+v}f    .... (2)

According to the question,

f'' = f' - 11.0 % of f'

f'' = 0.881 f'

By equation (1) and (2)

\frac{343}{343+v}f= \frac{343}{343-v}\times 0.881f

40.817 = 1.881 v

v = 21.7 m/s

Thus, the speed of ambulance is 21.7 m/s.

A cannon, located 60.0 m from the base of a vertical 25.0-m-tall cliff, shoots a 15-kg shell at 43.0o above the horizontal towar
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a)   v₀ = 32.64 m / s , b)  x = 59.68 m

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launching exercise, we the distance and height of the cliff

         x = v₀ₓ t

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

We look for the components of speed with trigonometry

         sin 43 = v_{oy} / v₀

         cos 43 = v₀ₓ / v₀

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin 43

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 43

Let's look for time in the first equation and substitute in the second

         t = x / v₀ cos 43

         y = v₀ sin 43 (x / v₀ cos 43) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos 43)²

          y = x tan 43 - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² 43

          1 / v₀² = (x tan 43 - y) 2 cos² 43 / g x²

           v₀² = g x² / [(x tan 43 –y) 2 cos² 43]

Let's calculate

          v₀² = 9.8 60 2 / [(60 tan 43 - 25) 2 cos 43]

          v₀ = √ (35280 / 33.11)

          v₀ = 32.64 m / s

.b) we use the vertical distance equation with the speed found

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

         .y = v₀ sin43 t - ½ g t²

        25 = 32.64 sin 43 t - ½ 9.8 t²

        4.9 t² - 22.26 t + 25 = 0

         t² - 4.54 t + 5.10 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

         t = (4.54 ±√(4.54 2 - 4 5.1)) / 2

         t = (4.54 ± 0.46) / 2

         t₁ = 2.50 s

         t₂ = 2.04 s

The shortest time is when the cliff passes and the longest when it reaches the floor, with this time we look for the horizontal distance traveled

         x = v₀ₓ t

         x = v₀ cos 43 t

         x = 32.64 cos 43  2.50

         x = 59.68 m

The vertical weight carried by the builder at the rear end is F = 308.1 N

<h3>Calculations and Parameters</h3>

Given that:

The weight is carried up along the plane in rotational equilibrium condition

The torque equilibrium condition can be used to solve

We can note that the torque due to the force of the rear person about the position of the front person = Torque due to the weight of the block about the position of the front person

This would lead to:

F(W*cosθ) = mgsinθ(L/2) + mgcosθ(W/2)

F(1cos20)= 197/2(3.10sin20 + 2 cos 20)

Fcos20= 289.55

F= 308.1N

An incompressible fluid flows steadily through a pipe that has a change in diameter. The fluid speed at a location where the pip
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The value is v_2 =  5.53 \  m /s

Explanation:

From the question we are told

  The pipe diameter at location 1 is  d  = 8.8 \  cm =  \frac{8.8 }{10} = 0.88 \ m

   The velocity at location 1 is  v_1 =  2.4 \  m /s

   The diameter at location 2 is  d_2 =  5.80 \  cm  =  0.58 \  m

Generally the area at location 1 is  

       A_1 =  \pi *  \frac{d^2}{ 2}

=>     A_1 =  \pi *  \frac{0.88^2}{ 2}

=>     A_1 = 3.142 *  \frac{0.88^2}{ 2}

=>     A_1 = 1.2166 \  m^2

Generally the area at location 1 is  

       A_2 =  \pi *  \frac{d_1^2}{ 2}

=>     A_2 =  \pi *  \frac{0.58^2}{ 2}

=>     A_2 = 0.528  \  m^2

Generally from continuity equation we have that

     A_1 * v_1 =  A_2 * v_2

=>   1.2166 *   2.4   =  0.528   * v_2

=>   1.2166 *   2.4   =  0.528   * v_2

=>    v_2 =  5.53 \  m /s
