Answer:

a) f_o=454.11Hz

b)f_o=425.89Hz

Explanation:

Let´s use Doppler effect, in order to calculate the observed frequency by the byciclist. The Doppler effect equation for a general case is given by:

f_o=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s} *f_s

where:

f_o=Observed\hspace{3}frequency

f_s=Actual\hspace{3}frequency

v=Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}sound\hspace{3}waves

v_s=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source

v_o=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer

Now let's consider the next cases:

+v_o\hspace{3}is\hspace{3}used\hspace{3}when\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer\hspace{3}moves\hspace{3}towards\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source

-v_o\hspace{3}is\hspace{3}used\hspace{3}when\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer\hspace{3}moves\hspace{3}away\hspace{3}from\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source

-v_s\hspace{3}is\hspace{3}used\hspace{3}when\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source\hspace{3}moves\hspace{3}towards\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer

+v_s\hspace{3}is\hspace{3}used\hspace{3}when\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source\hspace{3}moves\hspace{3}away\hspace{3}from\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer

The data provided by the problem is:

f_s=440Hz\\v_o=11m/s

The problem don't give us aditional information about the medium, so let's assume the medium is the air, so the speed of sound in air is:

v=343m/s

Now, in the first case the observer alone is in motion towards to the source, hence:

f_o=\frac{v+v_o}{v}*f_s=\frac{343+11}{343} *440=454.1107872Hz

Finally, in the second case the observer alone is in motion away from the source, so:

f_o=\frac{v-v_o}{v}*f_s=\frac{343-11}{343} *425.8892128Hz

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Smallest drop: Water

Largest drop: Dirt

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:

Q=cm\Delta T (1)

with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and \Delta T the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for

Sample A:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{4186*4.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{16744}

Sample B:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{2700*2.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{5400}

Sample C:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{1050*9.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{9450}

Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression -\frac{Q}{cm} that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.

So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.

(Important: The minus sign of \Delta T implies the temperature is dropping)

Is it possible for a gas contained in a chamber to maintain a constant temperature while heat is being added to the gas? Explain
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:Yes

Explanation:

Yes it is possible for a gas contained in a chamber to maintain a constant temperature while heat is being added to the gas.A process in which temperature of the gas remains constant is called Isothermal Process.For an ideal internal energy is a function of temperature therefore internal energy remains constant while all the heat added is converted to do the work done by the system.

hooke's law is described mathematically using the formula fsp=-kx. which statement is correct about spring force, fsp? A. It is
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

A. It is always a positive force

Explanation:

Hooke's law describes the relation between an applied force and extension ability of an elastic material. The law states that provided the elastic limit, e, of a material is not exceeded, the force, F, applied is proportional to the extension, x, provided temperature is constant.

i.e F = - kx

where k is the constant of proportionality, and the minus sign implies that the force is a restoring force.

The applied force can either be compressing or stretching force.

The message refers to which of the following?
Oliga [24]

The message is the information being communicated from one place to another.

It used to be called the "intelligence".  But as time went on, it became
harder to ignore the obvious fact that that was going too far, and the
label was changed to the more IQ-neutral "message".
