Answer:

-6.49 m/s

Explanation:

This is doppler effect.

The equation is;

F_l = [(v + v_l)/(v + v_s)]F_s

Where;

F_l is frequency observed by the listener

v is speed of sound

v_l is speed of listener

v_s is speed of source of the sound

F_s is frequency of the source of the sound

In this question, the source of the sound is the moving vehicle.

Thus;

F_l = F_beat + F_s

We are given beat frequency (f_beat) as 5 Hz while source frequency (F_s) as 260 Hz.

So,

F_l = 5 + 260

F_l = 265 Hz

Since listener is sitting by car, thus; v_l = 0 m/s

Thus,from our doppler effect equation, let's make v_s the subject;

v_s = F_s[(v + v_l)/F_l] - v

Speed of sound has a value of v = 344 m/s

Thus;

v_s = 260[(344 + 0)/265] - 344

v_s = -6.49 m/s

This value is negative because the source is moving towards the listener

A loop of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field. For what orientation of the loop is the magnetic flux a maximum? For what
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The flux is calculated as φ=BAcosθ. The flux is thereforemaximum when the magnetic field vector is perpendicular to theplane of the loop. We may also deduce that the flux is zero whenthere is no component of the magnetic field that is perpendicularto the loop.

when angle is zero then flux is maximium because when angle zerocos is maximium

What problems do pathogens cause in our society?
kotegsom [21]

Pathogens are microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Bacteria and viruses are the main pathogens in the world today.

The major problem that pathogen cause in society is that they are the agents of infection and disease. 

An infection results when a pathogen invades the body and begins growing within a host.  A disease results when tissue function is impaired due to an infection.

Due to diseases, affected people can not work  which negatively affects the economy, and the sick may end up dying causing a lot of grief, and robbing society of a father, a mother or child.

The government has to put money aside for health care which would otherwise have been used for other things to help the society.

What is the answer to this question?
dem82 [27]
Acceleration is a change in *speed* over time. In this case, the speed of the car increased by 90 km/hr in 6 s, giving it a rate of 90 km/hr/6s, or 15 km/hr/s. We’re asked for the acceleration in m/s^2, though, so we’ll need to do a few conversions to get our units straight.

There are 1000 m in 1 km, 60 min, or 60 * 60 = 3600 s in 1 hr, so we can change our rate to:

(15 x 1000)m/3600s/s, or (15 x 1000)m/3600 s^2

We can reduce this to:

(15 x 10)m/36 s^2 = 150 m/36 s^2

Which, dividing numerator and denominator by 36, gets us a final answer of roughly 4.17 m/s^2
