Physics

Answer:

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

A police car is at rest parallel to the highway and measures the speed of cars. It sends the signal with a frequency of 1200 Hz,
masha68 [24]

Answer:

a) The car was moving at a speed of 29.167\ m.s^{-1}

b) The negative sign of v_o denotes that the observer is coming towards the police car which is the source of the sound.

c) f_o=1283.33\ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

  • original frequency of the source, f=1200\ Hz
  • speed of the source, v_s=0\ m.s^{-1}
  • velocity of the obstacle car be, v_o
  • speed of sound, s=350\ m.s^{-1}
  • observed frequency, f_o=1100\ Hz

<u>Using the equation from the Doppler's effect:</u>

\frac{f_o}{f} =\frac{(s+v_o)}{(s-v_s)}

\frac{1100}{1200} =\frac{(350+v_o)}{350-0}

v_o=-29.167\ m.s^{-1}

a)

The car was moving at a speed of 29.167\ m.s^{-1}

b)

The negative sign of v_o denotes that the observer is coming towards the police car which is the source of the sound.

c)

Now when, v_s=50\ m.s^{-1}

Then, f_o=?

Using the Doppler's eq.:

\frac{f_o}{1200} =\frac{(350+(-29.167))}{(350-50)}

f_o=1283.33\ Hz

Bobby is riding his bike down the road at a speed of 10 miles per hour. Ahead of him, he sees another rider, moving in the same
vekshin1
They will be travelling slower than 10mph.
if they were travelling at the same speed then they would stay an equal distance apart.
if they were travelling fatser then they would be getting further away more quickly than Bobby is catching up.
maybe they are travelling at 5mph but I'd say it's a safer option to chose under 10mph
