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

In the ground state of hydrogen, according to the Bohr model, an electron orbits 5.3 x 10-11 m from the nucleus. It undergoes a

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of electron $(r)=5.3\times 10^{-11} m$

centripetal acceleration $(a_c)=9\times 10^22 m/s^2$

we know

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{r\times a_c}$

$v=\sqrt{5.3\times 10^{-11}\times 9\times 10^{22}}$

$v=\sqrt{47.7\times 10^11}$

$v=21.84\times 10^5 m/s$

(b)For n=10

$r=100\times 5.3\times 10^{-11} m\approx 5.3\times 10^{-9} m$

$a_c=10^4\times 9\times 10^{22} m/s^2$

$a_c=9\times 10^{26} m/s^2$

$v=\sqrt{r\times a_c}$

$v=\sqrt{9\times 10^{26}\times 5.3\times 10^{-9}}$

$v=21.84\times 10^8 m/s$

________ capture solar energy and use photosynthesis to produce sugars.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The green plants are capable of synthesizing their own food, in the presence of sunlight, CO₂ and water, and in return, liberates food and oxygen (O₂). This process is known as photosynthesis. This process is possible due to the presence of chlorophyll pigments on the plant leaves.

These green plants are also known as producers, because they are able to generate food for the consumers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

When the mass is removed, the length of the cable is found to be l0 = 4.66 m. After the mass is added, the length is remeasured

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

Explanation:

For a linear elastic material Young's modulus is a constant that is given by:

$\gamma=\frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

Here, F is the force exerted on an object under tensio, A is the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the applied force, $\Delta L$ is the amount by which the length of the object changes and $L_0$ is the original length of the object. In this case the force is the weight of the mass:

$F=mg\\F=55kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=539N$

Replacing the given values in Young's modulus formula:

$\gamma=\frac{F/\pi r^2}{(L_1-L_0)/L_0}\\\gamma=\frac{539N/\pi(0.045m)^2}{(5.31m-4.66m)/4.66m}\\\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

Light does not pass through some materials. What do you think happens

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.
