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.

A cruise ship travels across a river at 25 meters per minute. If the river is 6200 meters wide, how long
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

248 minutes

Explanation:

6200/25=248

This means there is 248 25s in 6200

which means it will take 248 minutes to travel through the river

Also here's a neat trick:

The units for speed is meters/minute

The units for distance is meters

Dividing distance by speed will cancel out the meters and leave only the speed.

7) A crazy cat (yes, this is redundant) is running along the roof of a 60 m tall building. The cat is moving at a constant veloc
gregori [183]

Answer:

The distance from the base of the building to the landing site is 154 m.

The total flight time is 3.5 s.

At the moment of impact, the velocity vector of the cat is v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s) and its magnitude is 55.8 m/s.

Explanation:

The equations for the position and velocity vectors of the cat are as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector of the cat at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward position as positive).

v = velocity vector of the cat at time t.

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the launching point so that x0 and y0 = 0. In a horizontal launch, initially there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.

When the cat reaches the ground, the position vector of the cat will be r1 (see figure). The vertical component of r1 is -60 m and the horizontal component will be the horizontal distance traveled by the cat (r1x). Then, using the equation of the y-component of the position vector, we can obtain the time of flight and with that time we can obtain the horizontal distance traveled by the cat:

r1y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-60 m = 0 m + 0 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

- 60 m = -4.9 m/s² · t²

-60 m / - 4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 3.5 s

The cat reaches the ground in 3.5 s

Now, we can calculate the horizontal component of r1:

r1x = x0 + v0 · t

r1x = 0 m + 44 m/s · 3.5 s

r1x = 154 m

The distance from the base of the building to the landing site is 154 m.

The total flight time was already calculated and is 3.5 s.

The velocity vector of the cat when it reaches the ground will be:

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

v = (44 m/s, 0 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.5 s)

v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s)

The magintude of the vector "v" is calculated as follows:

|v| = \sqrt{(44 m/s)^{2}+(-34.3 m/s)^{2}} = 55.8 m/s

At the moment of impact, the velocity vector of the cat is v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s) and its magnitude is 55.8 m/s.
