What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 110 km/h and emitting a steady 800-Hz sound from

its siren? The speed of sound on this day is 345 m/s.

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The frequency of sound perceive by observer changes from source emitting the sound. The frequency received by observer f_{obs} is more than the frequency emitted by the source. The expression to find the frequency received by the person is,

f_{obs} = f_s (\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})

f_s= Frequency of the source

v_w= Speed of sound

v_s= Speed of source

The velocity of the ambulance is

v_s = 119km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

v_s = 30.55m/s

Replacing at the expression to frequency of observer we have,

f_{obs} = 800Hz(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-30.55m/s})

f_{obs} = 878Hz

Therefore the frequency receive by observer is 878Hz

How are meteors and meteorites different?
konstantin123 [22]

A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.

If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.

A hydraulic turbine is used to generate power by using the water in a dam. The elevation difference between the free surfaces up
Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.906

Explanation:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2. We can calculate the rate of change in potential energy when m = 201kg of water is falling down a distance of h = 131m per second

\dot{E_p} = \dot{m}gh = 201*9.81*131 = 258307 J/s (W) = 258.307 kW

So the efficiency of the water turbine is the ratio of output power over input power:

\frac{234}{258.307} = 0.906
