When the police car is moving towards you, the sound waves are more compressed together, leading to a higher pitch sound. This is according to the Doppler Effect, in which sound waves ahead of the object is more compressed, leading to a higher pitch, and more spread out behind, leading to a lower pitch.

hope this helps

A flask contains equal masses of f2 and cl2 with a total pressure of 2.00 atm at 298k. What is the partial pressure of cl2 in th
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Partial Pressure of F₂ = 1.30 atm

Partial pressure of Cl₂ = 0.70 atm

Explanation:

Partial pressure for gases are given by Daltons law.

Total pressure of a gas mixture = sum of the partial pressures of individual gases

Pt = P(f₂) + P(cl₂)

Partial pressure = mole fraction × total pressure

Let the mass of each gas present be m

Number of moles of F₂ = m/38 (molar mass of fluorine = 38 g/Lol

Number of moles of Cl₂ = m/71 (molar mass of Cl₂)

Mole fraction of F₂ = (m/38)/((m/38) + (m/71)) = 0.65

Mole fraction of Cl₂ = (m/71)/((m/38) + (m/71)) = 0.35 or just 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

Partial Pressure of F₂ = 0.65 × 2 = 1.30 atm

Partial pressure of Cl₂ = 0.35 × 2 = 0.70 atm

Gaseous helium is in thermal equilibrium with liquid helium at 6.4 K. The mass of a helium atom is 6.65 × 10−27 kg and Boltzmann
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

Explanation:

The most probable speed:

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2K_bT}{m}}

K_b= Boltzmann’s constant =1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K

T = temperature of the gas

m = mass of the gas particle.

Given, m = 6.65\times 10^{-27} kg

T = 6.4 K

Substituting all the given values :

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 6.4 K}{6.65\times 10^{-27} kg}}

v_{mp}=162.78 m/s

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.
