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

In the first tenth of a second in a collision, the vehicle and everything inside are going at different ____________.
ioda
In the first tenth of a second in a collision, the vehicle and everything inside is going in different directions. This is because the initial reaction in a collision is for the objects to go into different directions which can be explained by Newton's third law.

A driver slammed on her brakes and came to a stop with constant acceleration. Measurements on her tires and skid marks on the pa
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

u = 29.22 m/s

Explanation:

distance (s) = 58.52 m

coefficient of kinetic friction (k) = 0.75

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

How fast was she driving (u)

we can get how fast she was driving by using the formula below

s = ut - \frac{1}{2}.at^{2}  ...equation 1

where

  • s = distance
  • u = her initial velocity
  • a = acceleration = \frac{f}{m} = \frac{kmg}{m} = kg
  • k = coefficient of kinetic friction
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • t = time

        from v = u - at  (recall that v = 0)

        0 = u - at, therefore t = u/a = u/kg

now substituting the required values above into equation 1 we have

s = \frac{u^{2}}{kg} - \frac{u^{2}}{2kg}

s = \frac{u^{2}}{2kg}

u = \sqrt{2kgs}

u = \sqrt{2 x 0.75 x 9.8 x 58.52}

u = 29.22 m/s

The Statue of Liberty is made of Copper that has turned on Says has WAGNE Bongo Wantse
Semenov [28]

Complete Question:

The Statue of Liberty is made of copper that has turned green because it has undergone a change. What can be said about this change?

Group of answer choices.

A. The change is a physical change because the copper in the statue is still there.

B. The change is a physical change because a new chemical is formed on the outside of the statue.

C. The change is not a physical change because the color of the statue has changed.

D. The change is not a physical change because a new chemical is formed on the outside of the statue.

Answer:

D. The change is not a physical change because a new chemical is formed on the outside of the statue.

Explanation:

A physical change can be defined as a type of change that only affects the physical form of a chemical substance (matter) without having any effect on its chemical properties. Thus, a physical change would only affect the physical appearance and properties of a chemical substance (matter) but not its chemical properties.

This ultimately implies that, a physical change result in a change of matter from one form or phase (liquid, solid or gas) to another without a corresponding change in chemical composition.

Additionally, a physical change is a type of change that involves an increase or decrease in the volume of a physical object (object). Also, this change can be reversed to the original state under certain conditions.

Since the Statue of Liberty which is made of copper turned green, the change is not a physical change because a new chemical is formed on the outside of the statue.
