The siren on an ambulance emits a sound of frequency 2.80×103Hz. If the ambulance is traveling at 26.0 m/s (93.6 km/h or 58.2 mi

/h) the speed of sound is 340 m/s and the air is still, what is the frequency that you hear if you are standing in front of the ambulance?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the described wavelength through frequency and speed. Mathematically it can be expressed as:

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength

f = Frequency

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

f = 2.8*10^3Hz

v = 340m/s \rightarrow Speed of sound

Keep in mind that we do not use the travel speed of the ambulance because we are in front of it. In case it approached or moved away we should use the concepts related to the Doppler effect:

Replacing we have,

\lambda = \frac{340}{2.8*10^3}

\lambda = 0.1214m

Therefore the frequency that you hear if you are standing in from of the ambulance is 0.1214m

A uniform log of length L is inclined 30° from the horizontal when supported by a frictionless rock located 0.6L from its left e
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x = 0.974 L

Explanation:

given,

length of inclination of log = 30°

mass of log = 200 Kg

rock is located at = 0.6 L

L is the length of the log

mass of engineer = 53.5 Kg

let x be the distance from left at which log is horizontal.

For log to be horizontal system should be in equilibrium

 ∑ M = 0

mass of the log will be concentrated at the center  

distance of rock from CM of log = 0.1 L

now,

∑ M = 0

m_{log} g \times 0.1 L = m_{engineer} g \times (x - 0.6 L)

200 \times 0.1 L = 53.5 \times (x - 0.6 L)

0.374 L =x - 0.6 L

       x = 0.974 L

hence, distance of the engineer from the left side is equal to x = 0.974 L

mylen [45]

Answer:

longing for social inclusion.

4. The flow of electric charge is know as
vredina [299]

Answer:

electrons

Explanation:

An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionized gas (plasma).

If a vehicle accelerating at 2.7 m/s2what is it's velocity at 20 meters 12.63m/s,1.03m/s,10.39m/s,6.39m/s
netineya [11]

Answer:

The final velocity of the vehicle is 10.39 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the vehicle, a = 2.7 m/s²

distance moved by the vehicle, d = 20 m

The final velocity of the vehicle is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2ah

v² = 0 + 2 x 2.7 x 20

v² = 108

v = √108

v = 10.39 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the vehicle is 10.39 m/s.
