A whistle you use to call your hunting dog has a frequency of 21 kHz, but your dog is ignoring it. You suspect the whistle may n

ot be working, but you can’t hear sounds above 20 kHz. To test it, you ask a friend to blow the whistle, then you hop on your bicycle. In which direction should you ride (toward or away from your friend) and at what minimum speed to know if the whistle is working?

The Doppler effect is the right concept to solve this problem. The Doppler effect is understood as the change in apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. Mathematically it can be described as,

f = (1-\frac{v_0}{v})f_0

Here,

f_0 = Frequency of the sound from the Whistle

f = Frequency of sound heard

v = Speed of the sound in the Air

Replacing we have that

1- \frac{v_0}{343} = \frac{20kHz}{21kHz}

\frac{v_0}{343} = 1-\frac{20}{21}

\frac{v_0}{343} = \frac{1}{21}

v_0 = \frac{1}{21}(343)

v_0 = 16.33m/s

Therefore the minimum speed to know if the whistle is working is 16.33m/s

Two charged particles exert an electric force of 27 N on each other. What will the magnitude of the force be if the distance bet
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

243 N

Explanation:

The formula for electromagnetic force is F= Kq1q2/r^2

where r is the distance between the charges, if the distance between the charges is reduced by 1/3 then F will increase by 9 [(1/3r)^2 becomes 1/9r which is 9F] so 27*9 is 243N

Which option is an example of an object that has potential energy followed by an object that has kinetic energy?
Nata [24]

A ball held over a person's head | a ball rolling on the floor is an example of an object that has potential energy followed by an object that has kinetic energy.

<h3>What is Kinetic energy?</h3>

This is the type of energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion or movement.

The rolling ball therefore has kinetic energy while a ball being held over a person's head has potential energy which is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position.

An electric circuit can have no current when a switch is
Finger [1]

Answer:

Open

Explanation:

A switch is a part of a circuit where a connection can be made or broken. By convention, when the switch is "open", the connection is broken and current cannot pass. When the switch is "closed", the connection is complete and current can pass.

What properties of a sound wave determine volume, pitch, and timbre?
fiasKO [112]
Sound waves are changes in pressure generated by vibrating molecules. The physical characteristics of sound waves influence the three psychological features of sound: loudness, pitch, and timbre. Loudness depends on the amplitude,or height, of sound waves. The greater the amplitude, the louder the sound perceived.
