Answer:

If a crest formed by one wave interferes with a trough formed by the other wave then the rope will not move at all.

Explanation:

Assume a straight rope tied to both ends is at rest. When a wave is created at one end of the rope, it travels to the other end of the rope through formation of alternative crest and trough. Due to these crest and trough the rope shifts up and down.

But when there are two waves travelling through the rope and both have opposite direction (directed towards one another) in such a way that crest formed by one wave is interfering with the trough formed by the other wave then due to this interference the waves will cancel the effects of each other on the rope and rope will be stable.

A police car is at rest parallel to the highway and measures the speed of cars. It sends the signal with a frequency of 1200 Hz,

masha68 [24]

Answer:

a) The car was moving at a speed of $29.167\ m.s^{-1}$

b) The negative sign of $v_o$ denotes that the observer is coming towards the police car which is the source of the sound.

c) $f_o=1283.33\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given:

original frequency of the source, $f=1200\ Hz$

speed of the source, $v_s=0\ m.s^{-1}$

velocity of the obstacle car be, $v_o$

speed of sound, $s=350\ m.s^{-1}$

observed frequency, $f_o=1100\ Hz$

<u>Using the equation from the Doppler's effect:</u>

$\frac{f_o}{f} =\frac{(s+v_o)}{(s-v_s)}$

$\frac{1100}{1200} =\frac{(350+v_o)}{350-0}$

$v_o=-29.167\ m.s^{-1}$

The car was moving at a speed of $29.167\ m.s^{-1}$

The negative sign of $v_o$ denotes that the observer is coming towards the police car which is the source of the sound.

Now when, $v_s=50\ m.s^{-1}$

Then, $f_o=?$

Using the Doppler's eq.:

$\frac{f_o}{1200} =\frac{(350+(-29.167))}{(350-50)}$

$f_o=1283.33\ Hz$

Considering how the parts of a system work together and affect one another, other systems, and the environment is called _______

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

before I answer a question I think very deeply and try my best, hope it helps...

As you know there are many different types of systems. For example, The solar system, galaxies, quantum systems, atoms, molecules, orchestras, nervous system, etc, things you may not have even considered a system. To get to the basis of a system we must first understand what a system is then we will show some examples. A system is a group of Parts (parts could mean anything even dark energy and dark matter) that work together to accomplish something. For example, your body has many many trillions of cells that all try to accomplish the functions of humans which include thinking, moving, breathing, circulation, etc. Cells in turn are a system that have counterparts called organelles that accomplish harvesting energy, making new proteins, getting rid of waste, and so on. These are some systems which we highly dependent upon.

Well i hope it helped
