A woman is sitting at a bus stop when an ambulance with a siren wailing at 317 Hz approaches at 69 miles per hour (mph). Assume

the speed of sound to be 343 m/s. a) How fast is the ambulance moving in meters per second? (perform the necessary unit conversion) Vs= 69 mph = m/s b) What frequency does the woman hear? fa = Hz c) What speed (vs) would the ambulance be traveling in order for the woman to hear the siren at an approaching frequency of 350 Hz? Vs= m/s d) What frequency would she hear as the siren moves away from her at the same speed (as in part c)? fa = Hz

Answer:

a) 30.84m/s

b) 348.32Hz

c) 32.34m/s

d) 289.69Hz

Explanation:

a) If 1 mile=1609,34m, and 1 hour=3600 seconds, then 69mph=69*1609.34m/3600s=30.84m/s

b) Based on Doppler effect:

/*I will take as positive direction the vector \vec r_{observer}-\vec r_{emiter} */

f_{observed}=(\frac{v_{sound}-v_{observed}}{v_{sound}-v_{emited}})f_{emited}

f_{observed}=(\frac{343m/s-0m/s}{343m/s-30.84m/s})317Hz=348.32Hz

c) 350Hz=(\frac{343m/s-0m/s}{343m/s-v_{ambulance}})317Hz, V_{ambulance}=343m/s-\frac{317Hz}{350Hz}.343m/s=32.34m/s

d) f_{observed}=(\frac{343m/s-0m/s}{343m/s+32.34m/s})317Hz=289.69Hz

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

what is the transfer of heat energy by direct contact. A . convection b. radiation c. thermal or heat and d. conduction ​
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

d. conduction ​

Explanation:

Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

In conclusion, conduction typically involves the transfer of heat energy by direct contact between two or more conductors such as a pot and electric cooker.
