To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 16.2 Doppler effect. The sound source of a ship’s sonar system operates at a frequency of 2

2.0 kHz . The speed of sound in water (assumed to be at a uniform 20∘C) is 1482 m/s . What is the difference in frequency between the directly radiated waves and the waves reflected from a whale traveling straight toward the ship at 4.95 m/s ? Assume that the ship is at rest in the water. mastering physics g

Answer:

147 Hz

Explanation:

First we need to know what frequency will the waves hitting the whale have respect of it.

The change in frequency is calculated with this equation:

\Delta f = \frac{\Delta v}{c} * f0

However in this case, the wave is bouncing on the whale and coming back, so there is a double frequency shift (the difference is the same both times because the relative speeds between the two objects is the same both times)

\Delta f = 2*\frac{\Delta v}{c} * f0

Then:

\Delta f = 2*\frac{\4.95 - 0}{1482} * 22000 = 147 Hz

The frequency shift is positive, it will have increased frequency.

Which electromagnetic wave would have a wavelength approximately the size of the tip of a pencil?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

That's simply because any electromagnetic wave longer than a microwave is called a radio wave. Microwaves: Obviously used for cooking in microwave ovens, but also for transmitting information in radar equipment. Microwaves are like short-wavelength radio waves. Typical size: 15cm (the length of a pencil).

What is the new volume of the gas if the pressure on 350 L of oxygen
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

420 L

Explanation:

Applying Boyle's Law,

PV = P'V'.................... Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure, P' = Final pressure, V = Initial volume, V' = Final volume.

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = PV/P'.................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 720 mmHg, V = 350 L, P' = 600 mmHg

Substitute these values into equation 2

V' = (720×350)/600

V' = 252000/600

V' = 420 L

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

30m/s

Explanation:

  • Use formula for height calculation: Time = √2h/√g
  • From here calculate height which comes out to be: 45m(if g is taken 10)
  • Then use formula for velocity calculation: v = √2gh

  • The velocity comes out to be 30m/s
