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

Consider a steel guitar string of initial length L=1.00 meter and cross-sectional area A=0.500 square millimeters. The Young's m
ira [324]

Answer:

\Delta L=15\,mm

Explanation:

Given:

  • length of a steel-string, L=1m
  • area of the string, A=0.5\,mm^2
  • Young's modulus of the steel, Y=2\times 10^{11} Pa
  • force of tension on the string, F=1500\,N

We have the relation for change in length:

\Delta L=\frac{F.L}{A.Y}

\Delta L=\frac{1500\times 1000}{0.5\times 10^{-6}\times 2\times 10^{11}}

\Delta L=0.015m

\Delta L=15\,mm

Help pleaseee SOS!! Again
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

A) 7500[N]

Explanation:

This is a problem where we have to apply the pascal principle, in this case replace the given values in the given equation:

F1 = 2500 [N]

A1 = 0.06 [m^2]

A2 = 0.18 [m^2]

F_{2}=A_{2}*\frac{F_{1}}{A_{1}} \\F_{2}=0.18*\frac{2500}{0.06}\\ F_{2}= 7500[N]

h = average height of Niagara falls = 45 m

P = power generated by Stations I and II together = 1926 MW = 1926 x 10⁶ Watt

m = mass of water required to go over the falls

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time =  1 sec

Power generated is given as

Power generated = potential energy lost/time

P = mgh/t

1926 x 10⁶ = m (9.8) (45)/1

m = 1926 x 10⁶ /(9.8 x 45)

m = 4.4 x 10⁶ kg

it is given that , 1 kg = 1 litre

hence

hence Volume of water = V = 4.4 x 10⁶ litre
