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 9.27 percent. How fast is the ambulance driving?

To develop this problem we will apply the considerations made through the concept of Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. At first the source is moving towards the observer. Than the perceived frequency at first

F_1 = F \frac{{343}}{(343-V)}

Where F is the actual frequency and v is the velocity of the ambulance

Now the source is moving away from the observer.

F_2 = F\frac{343}{(343+V)}

We are also so told the perceived frequency decreases by 11.9%

F_2 = F_1 - 9.27\% \text{ of } F_1

F_2 = F_1-0.0927F_1

F_2 = 0.9073F_1

Equating,

F\frac{343}{(343+V)}= 0.9073(F\frac{343}{(343-V)})

\frac{1}{(343+V)}= 0.9073\frac{1}{(343-V)}

0.9073(343+V) = 343-V

(0.9073)(343)+(0.9073)V = 343-V

V+0.9073V = 343-(0.9073)(343)

Solving for V,

V = 16.67 m/s

A cubic sample of a new kind of artificial tissue is subject to an increase in pressure of 160 kPa which results in a reduction
grin007 [14]

Answer:

0.82 MPa

Explanation:

the change in pressure 'σ'=160kPa

K= σ/∈Ф_v => σ/3∈Ф_L

K= 160/(3 x 0.065)

K=820 kPA=0.82 MPa

Thus,the bulk modulus of the tissue 'K' is 0.82 MPa

What is the impulse of a 3 kg object that starts from rest and moves to 20 m/s?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product of the force applied on an object and the time at which it acts. It is also the change in the momentum of a body.

F = m a

F = m(\frac{v_{2}  - v_{1} }{t})

⇒     Ft = m(v_{2} - v_{1})

where: F is the dorce on the object, t is the time at which it acts, m is the mass of the object, v_{1} is its initialvelocity and v_{2} is the final velocity of the object.

Therefore,

impulse = Ft = m(v_{2} - v_{1})

From the question, m = 3kg, v_{1} = 0m/s and v_{2} = 20m/s.

So that,

Impulse = 3 (20 - 0)

             = 3(20)

             = 60Ns

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.
