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

Using kinematic equation, v^2 - u^2 = 2as. 5^2 - 3^2 = 2a x 16. a = 0.5m/s^2. So particle will deaccelerate at 0.5m/s^2. ( v = final velocity, u= initial velocity, a= acceleration, s= displacement.)

What is amu?? How is 1amu=1.606*10*-27?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

amu is atomic mass unit

All of elements hydrogen is the lightest.

Hydrogen is taken as a basic unit so it happened 1amu

So 1 amu must be hydrogen mass

If I am wrong,Pls tell me the true answer....

Why does a pencil look bent when it is placed in a glass of water?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

This is due to bending of light ray passing through the medium.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the concept of refraction.

Refraction can be defined as the bending of light ray as it travels from one medium to another (it can be from the less dense to denser medium or denser to less dense medium)

For that of pencil in water, light ray travels from less dense medium(surrounding air) to denser medium(water). This causes the pencil to bend away from the normal rather than towards the normal (angle of refraction being greater than angle of incidence) and hence the reason for the bending.

NB: Normal line is perpendicular to the plane between the medium.
