Answer:

= 784.30 Hz

Explanation:

Using the formula;

f₀ =(v.fs)/(v-vp)

Where; f₀ is the observed frequency, v is the speed of sound in air, fs is the frequency of the source and vp is the speed of the person towards the whistle.

In this case;

Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Speed of the person towards the whistle = 15 m/s

Frequency of the source = 750 Hz

Therefore;

f₀ = (343 × 750)/ (343 -15)

   = 784.30 Hz

There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get  transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: <em>d </em>sin <em>θ </em>= <em>nλ</em>

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.

Two objects gravitationally attract with a force of 100 N. If the mass of one object is doubled and the mass of the other object
barxatty [35]

Hello!

Recall the equation for gravitational force:
F_g = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Fg = Force of gravity (N)
G = Gravitational constant

m1, m2 = masses of objects (kg)
r = distance between the objects' center of masses (m)

There is a DIRECT relationship between mass and gravitational force.

We are given:
F_g = 100N

If we were to double one mass and triple another, according to the equation:
F'_g = \frac{G(2m_1)(3m_2)}{r^2} = 6(\frac{G(m_1)(m_2)}{r^2}) = 6F_g

Thus:
6 * F_g = 6 * 100 = \boxed{600N}
