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

The​ time, t, required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the​ speed, r. It takes 3 hr at a speed of 14 ​km/h to driv
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

time taken with speed 23 km/h will be 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Time is inversely proportional to the speed

mathematically,

t ∝ (1/r)

let the proportionality constant be 'k'

thus,

t = k/r

therefore, for case 1

time = 3 hr

speed = 14 km/hr

3 = k/14

also,

for case 2

let the time be = t

r = 23 km/h

thus,

we have

t = k/23

on dividing equation 2 by 1

we get

\frac{t}{3}=\frac{k/23}{k/14}

or

t=\frac{14\times3}{23}

or

t = 1.8 hr = or 1 hour 48 minutes ( 0.8 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes)

It is your parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary and you thought it would be special to throw them a surprise party. Your entire fam
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.

Match the indices of refraction with the corresponding effects on the waves.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

B) waves speed up

C) waves bend away from the normal

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material is the ratio between the  speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in that medium:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in the medium

We can re-arrange this equation as:

v=\frac{c}{n}

So from this we already see that if the index of refraction is lower, the speed of light in the medium will be higher, so one correct option is

B) waves speed up

Moreover, when light enters a medium bends according to Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1 ,n_2 are the index of refraction of the 1st and 2nd medium

\theta_1,\theta_2are the angles made by the incident ray and refracted ray with the normal to the interface

We can rewrite the equation as

sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1

So we see that if the index of refraction of the second medium is lower (n_2), then the ratio \frac{n_1}{n_2} is larger than 1, so the angle of refraction is larger than the angle of incidence:

\theta_2>\theta_1

This means that the wave will bend away from the normal. So the other correct option is

C) waves bend away from the normal
