Answer:
The speed of the police car is 294 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
frequency of the siren in air, f = 280 Hz
speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s
Determine the wavelength of the sound in air to the stationary car:
v = fλ
where;
λ is wavelength of the sound
λ = v/f
λ = 343 / 280
λ = 1.225 m
Now, determine the speed at which the police car is approaching the stationary car;
The actual frequency of the police car, F = 240 Hz
V = Fλ
Where;
V is speed of the police car
λ is the distance between the police car and the stationary car, (wavelength)
V = 240 x 1.225
V = 294 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the police car is 294 m/s
Hey there!
They answer is option C music would make it harder to focus on the road.
Hope this helps.
I believe it is a conductor I am learning this myself so I may be wrong
This can be explain through Newton’s first law of motion where an
object at rest remain in rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Hence,
the dust particles having inertia and trapped within the pores of the carpet
has the tendency to remain at the state of rest, it does not move and resist
motion but when the carpet is beaten with a stick, dust comes out because the
force from a stick acted upon it.
