Answer:
The observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.
Explanation:
Given;
frequency of the source, Fs = 400 Hz
speed of the car as it approaches the stationary observer, Vs = 20 m/s
Based on Doppler effect, as the car the approaches the stationary observer, the observed frequency will be higher than the transmitted (source) frequency because of decrease in distance between the car and the observer.
The observed frequency is calculated as;
where;
F₀ is the observed frequency
v is the speed of sound in air = 340 m/s
F₀ ≅ 424 Hz.
Therefore, the observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.
Answer:
The total distance is 381.5 [m]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must use the expressions of kinematics. The clue to solve this problem is that the motorcyclist starts from rest, i.e. its initial speed is zero.
where:
Vf = final velocity [m/s]
Vo = initial velocity = 0
a = acceleration = 2 [m/s²]
t = time = 7 [s]
Vf = 0 + (2*7)
Vf = 14 [m/s]
With this velocity, we can calculate the displacement using the following expression.
where
x = distance traveled [m]
14² = 0 + (2*7*x)
x = 196/(14)
x = 14 [m]
Note: The positive sign in the equations is because the car is accelerating, it means its velocity is increasing.
The other important clue to solve this problem in the second part is that the final velocity is now the initial velocity.
We must calculate the final velocity.
Vf = final velocity [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 14 [m/s]
a = desacceleration = 4 [m/s²]
t = time = 8 [s]
Vf = 24 + (4*8)
Vf = 56 [m/s]
With this velocity, we can calculate the displacement using the following expression.
where
x = distance traveled [m]
56² = 14² + (2*4*x)
x = 2940/(8)
x = 367.5 [m]
Note: The positive sign in the equations is because the car is accelerating, it means its velocity is increasing.
Therefore the total distance is Xt = 14 + 367.5 = 381.5 [m].
