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

A spring with a spring constant of 2500 n/m. is stretched 4.00 cm. what is the work required to stretch the spring?
Yuri [45]
W = 1/2k*x^2.

k = spring constant = 2500 n/m.
x = distance = 4 cm = 0.04m (convert to same units).

W = 1/2(2500)(0.04)^2 = 2J.

Why is streak generally a more useful property than color in identifying a mineral?
poizon [28]
You may confuse two minerals by their colors so using streak is another way for showing their "true colors "

A vehicle starts to move from the rest gets an acceleration of 5 m/s2 within 2
likoan [24]

Answer:

When an object moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration, you can calculate its acceleration if you know how much its velocity changes and how long this takes.

The formula is,

Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken

The equation for acceleration can also be represented as:

a = (v-u) \ t

The change in velocity v – u = 5 – 0 = 5 m/s.

The acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time = 5 m/s ÷ 2 s = 2.5 m/s^2

An object at rest cannot remain at rest unless which of the following holds?View Available Hint(s)An object at rest cannot remai
Leni [432]

Answer:

True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero

Explanation:

In order to analyze the statements of this problem we propose your solution.

First let's look at Newton's first, which stable that every object is at rest or with constant speed unless something takes it out of this state (acceleration)

Now let's look at the second postulate, which says that force is related to the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration.

As a result of these two laws, for a body is a constant velocity the summation force on it must be zero.

Now we can analyze the statements given.

True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero

False. If the force is different from zero, there is acceleration that changes the speeds

False. There may be forces, but the sum of them must be zero

False. If a force acts, the acceleration is different from zero and the speed changes
