A policeman in a stationary car measures the speed of approaching cars by means of an ultrasonic device that emits a sound with

a frequency of 41.2 khz. A car is approaching him at a speed of 33.0 m/s. The wave is reflected by the car and interferes with the emitted sound producing beats. What is the frequency of the beats? The speed of sound in air is 330 m/s.

Answer:

4.6 kHz

Explanation:

The formula for the Doppler effect allows us to find the frequency of the reflected wave:

f'=(\frac{v}{v-v_s})f

where

f is the original frequency of the sound

v is the speed of sound

vs is the speed of the wave source

In this problem, we have

f = 41.2 kHz

v = 330 m/s

vs = 33.0 m/s

Therefore, if we substitute in the equation we find the frequency of the reflected wave:

f'=(\frac{330 m/s}{330 m/s-33.0 m/s})(41.2 kHz)=45.8 kHz

And the frequency of the beats is equal to the difference between the frequency of the reflected wave and the original frequency:

f_B = |f'-f|=|45.8 kHz-41.2 kHz|=4.6 kHz

The frequency of the beats is about 9.2 kHz

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the Doppler Effect formula as follows:

\large {\boxed {f' = \frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s} f}}

<em>f' = observed frequency</em>

<em>f = actual frequency</em>

<em>v = speed of sound waves</em>

<em>v_o = velocity of the observer</em>

<em>v_s = velocity of the source</em>

<em>Let's tackle the problem!</em>

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

actual frequency = f = 41.2 kHz

velocity of the car = v_c = 33.0 m/s

speed of sound in air = v = 330 m/s

<u>Asked:</u>

frequency of the beats = Δf = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we will use the formula of </em><em>Doppler Effect</em><em> as follows:</em>

f' = \frac{v + v_c}{v - v_c} \times f

f' = \frac{330 + 33}{330 - 33} \times 41.2

f' = \frac{363}{297} \times 41.2

f' = \frac{11}{9} \times 41.2

f' = 50 \frac{16}{45} \texttt{ kHz}

f' \approx 50.4 \texttt{ kHz}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next , we could calculate the frequency of the beats as follows:</em>

\Delta f = f' - f

\Delta f \approx 50.4 - 41.2

\Delta f \approx 9.2 \texttt{ kHz}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

The frequency of the beats is about 9.2 kHz

A 4.2-m-diameter merry-go-round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0.79 rad/s . Its total moment of inertia is 1790
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

w_2=0.467rad/s

Explanation:

Four people standing on the ground each of mass and usually this questions have to find the final angular velocity

m_t=4*70kg=280kg

The radius r=4.2/2=2.1m

Angular velocity  w_1=0.79rad/s

The moment of inertia total is I_t=1790 kg/m^2

Momento if inertia

I_1=m_t*r^2

I_1=280kg*(2.1m)^2=1234.8kg*m^2

Angular momentum

I_1*w_1=I_t*w_2

Solve to w2

w_2=\frac{I_1*w_1}{I_t}

w_2=\frac{1790kg*m^2*0.79rad/s}{3024.8kg*m^2}

w_2=0.467rad/s

A cube of wood having an edge dimension of 20.0cm and a density of 650 kg /m³ floats on water. (b) What mass of lead should be p
schepotkina [342]

The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water is 2.8 kg.

<h3>What mass of lead should be placed on the cube?</h3>

Given: Side of the cube (a) = 20cm

The density of the cube (ρc) = $$650 kg/m^3

a) Applying the force balance, the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the cube

ρcgV = ρg × (Ax)

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

(650*(0.2 m)^3)=1000*(0.2 m)^2*x

x = 0.13

where x is the height of the cube in the water

$$A = a^2 is the area of the cross-section

ρ is the density of the water

V is the volume of the cube

Now, the height above the surface of the water would be

h = a − x

Substituting the values, then we get

h = 0.2 − 0.13

h = 0.07 m

b) The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water, therefore

ρcgV + mg = ρg × (V)

$(650*(0.2 m)^3)+m=1000*(0.2 m)^3

m = 2.8 kg

The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water is 2.8 kg.

What is this feature?
Viktor [21]

Answer: c Delta

Explanation:

A delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment.

Hope this helps!!
