Two cars, one in front of the other, are travelling down the highway at 25 m/s. The car behind sounds its horn, which has a freq

uency of 640 Hz. What is the frequency heard by the driver of the lead car? (Vsound=340 m/s).
The answer choices are:

A) 463 Hz
B) 640 Hz
C)579 Hz
D) 425 Hz
E) 500 Hz

Answer:

$f_s = 640 Hz$

Explanation:

For this case we know that the speed of the sound is given by:

$V_s = 340 m/s$

And we have the following info provided:

$v_c = 25 m/s$ represent the car leading

$v_s= 25 m/s$ represent the car behind with the source

$f_o = 640 Hz$ is the frequency for the observer

And we can find the frequency of the source $f_s$ with the following formula:

$f_s = \frac{v-v_o}{v-v_s} f_o$

And replacing we got:

$f_s = \frac{340-25}{340-25} *640 Hz = 640 Hz$

So then the frequency for the source would be the same since the both objects are travelling at the same speed.

$f_s = 640 Hz$

A submarine sends a signal and receives an echo after 5 seconds. Calculate the speed of sound if distance of object from submari

Reil [10]

$speed = distance \div time$
Since the sound travels from the submarine to the object AND back, it actually travelled 3625x2=7250m.

$7250 \div 5 = 1450$
Speed of sound: 1450m/s

Answer:

(A) Speed will be $44.18\times 10^4m/sec$

(b) Change in kinetic energy = $1560\times 10^{-19}$

Explanation:

We have given mass of proton $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}kg$

Acceleration of the proton $a=2.50\times 10^{12}m/sec^2$

Initial velocity u = $1.60\times 10^4$ m/sec

Distance traveled by proton s = 3.90 cm = 0.039 m

(a) From third equation of motion we know that

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$v^2=(1.60\times 10^4)^2+2\times 2.5\times 10^{12}\times 0.039$

$v=44.18\times 10^4m/sec$

(b) Initial kinetic energy $KE_I=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (1.6\times 10^4)^2$

Final kinetic energy $KE_F=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (44.18\times 10^4)^2$

So change in kinetic energy $\Delta KE=KE_F-KE_I=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.6\times 10^{-27}\times 10^8\times (44.18^2-1.6^2)=1560\times 10^{-19}J$
