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

Write down one fact about each of the following crust, mantle, outer, core, & inner core
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Hope this help you!!

Explanation:

Crust : The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth. It has an average thickness of about 18 miles below land, and around 6 miles below the oceans. The crust is the layer that makes up the Earth's surface and it lies on top of a harder layer, called the mantle.

Mantle : The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior. The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 1,802 miles thick, and makes up a whopping 84% of Earth's total volume

Outer Core : The outer core is the third layer of the Earth. It is the only liquid layer, and is mainly made up of the metals iron and nickel, as well as small amounts of other substances. The outer core is responsible for Earth's magnetic field. As Earth spins on its axis, the iron inside the liquid outer core moves around.

Inner Core : It's Almost The Size of the Moon. The Earth's inner core is surprisingly large, measuring 1,516 miles across. It's Mostly Made of Iron. It Spins Faster Than the Surface of the Earth. It Creates a Magnetic Field.

The current in a hair dryer measures 15 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 14 ohms. What is the voltage?
ZanzabumX [31]
We have that there is a formula connecting these three. V=I*R where V is voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Substituting, we get that V=210 Volta, which is the unit of measurement for voltage. You can think of the relationship in the following way : The energy of the field is equal to the flow of the field times the resistance that it meets.

Brownian motion is due to:
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

Brownian motion is the random movement of particles in a fluid due to their collisions with other atoms or molecules. ... Brownian motion takes its name from the Scottish botanist Robert Brown, who observed pollen grains moving randomly in water. He described the motion in 1827 but was unable to explain it.
