The original frequency of horn of Car A is 1071 Hz.

Explanation:

Doppler effect describes the change in the frequency of sound waves with respect to the observer. As the sound waves emitted from a source need to travel the air medium to reach observer, it will undergo loss in energy. So there will be change in its frequency compared to original frequency. Depending upon the direction of travel of source and observer the shifting of frequency will vary.

$f'=\frac{v-v_{o} }{v-v_{s} } f$

Here vo is the observer velocity and vs is the velocity of the source. So Vo = 15 m/s as car B is the observer and Vs = 35 m/s as car A is the source. And f is the frequency of sound wave at source that is car A.

Similarly, the doppler shift in frequency is the frequency of sound heard by car B which is f' = 1140 Hz. And v is the speed of sound that is v = 343 m/s

1140 = $\frac{343-15}{343-35}*f= 1.0649 *f$

f = 1140/1.0649= 1071 Hz.

Thus, the original frequency of horn of Car A is 1071 Hz.

In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation. Usually they must be larger than one micrometer. A Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but get suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.. it is considered a solution and suspension because the orange juice mix with water while the pulp did not and retained as solid

Which law of motion accounts for the following statement?"The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path."

levacccp [35]

The law that accounts for that exact statement is the law that says that
most people don't understand these things very well.

A better statement is:
"The gravitational forces between the Sun and each planet cause each planet
to move in an elliptical path."

The laws that account for that behavior are:

-- Newton's second law of motion: (Force) = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- Newton's law of universal gravity

Which word means "to get away from something"? a become b dream c escape d practice

klemol [59]

The correct answer is - c. escape.

The word ''escape'' means to get away from something. This word can be used for multiple different situations, and it can refer to both physical and psychological matters.

In a physical sense it can be used to escape from certain unpleasant, or dangerous situation. Example: I have to escape from this prison.

In a psychological sense it can be used to escape, move away, from a certain state of mind. Example: I have to find an escape from my depressive thoughts.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

For sound level in decibel scale the relation is

dB = 10 log I / I₀ where I₀ = 10⁻¹² and I is intensity of sound whose decibel scale is to be calculated .

Putting the given values

61 = 10 log I / 10⁻¹²

log I / 10⁻¹² = 6.1

I = 10⁻¹² x 10⁶°¹
