A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2 . Als

o, as the light turns green, a truck traveling with a constant velocity of 10 m/s passes the car. The truck’s horn is stuck, emitting sound at a frequency of 440Hz. What frequency of sound is heard by the driver of the car, (a) 5 seconds before the light turned green? (b) 5 seconds after the light turned green? (c) 10 seconds after the light turned green?

Answer:

a) f = 453.3Hz

b) f = 443.1Hz

c) f = 420Hz

Explanation:

First of all we need to know the positions and velocities of both vehicles.

For the car:

Xc(-5) = 0m;   Vc(-5) = 0m/s

Xc(5) = 2.5*5^2/2=31.25m;  Vc(5)=2.5*5 = 12.5m/s

Xc(10)=2.5*10^2/2=125m;    Vc(10)=2.5*10=25m/s

For the truck:

Xt(-5)=10*(-5) = -50m;   Vt(5)=10m/s

Xt(5)=10*5 = 50m;       Vt(5)=10m/s

Xt(10)=10*10=100m;     Vt(10)=10m/s

Now for part a) t=-5s. The truck is behind the car, so:

f=\frac{C}{C-Vt}*fo = 453.3Hz

Now for part b) t=5s. The car is behind the truck, so:

f=\frac{C+Vc}{C+Vt}*fo = 443.1Hz

Now for part b) t=10s. The truck is behind the car, so:

f=\frac{C-Vc}{C-Vt}*fo = 420Hz

The density of 2 kilograms of iron on Earth's surface is
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

B. The same on the moon.

Explanation:

The density of an object is the ratio of the mass contained by the object to the volume occupied by that mass.

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

When the object is taken from the earth to anywhere in the universe, its mass remains constant. The dimensions of the object and hence its volume also remains constant anywhere in the universe.

Therefore, the density of the object will also remain the same as it depends upon the mass and the volume of the object.

So, the correct option is:

<u>B. The same on the moon.</u>
