Answer:

The frequency heard by the motorist is 4313.2 Hz.

Explanation:

let f1 be the frequency emited by the police car and f2 be the frequency heard by the motorist, let v1 be the speed of the police car and v2 be the speed of the motorist and v = 343 m/s be the speed of sound.

because the police car is moving towards the motorist at a higher speed, then the motorist will hear a increasing frequency and according to Dopper effect, that frequency is given by:

f1 =  [(v + v2/(v - v1))]×(f2)

   = [( 343 + 30)/(343 - 36)]×(3550)

   = 4313.2 Hz

Therefore, the frequency heard by the motorist is 4313.2 Hz.

A wire loop of radius 0.50 m lies so that an external magnetic field of magnitude 0.40 T is perpendicular to the loop. The field
vazorg [7]

The magnitude of the induced emf is given by:

ℰ = |Δφ/Δt|

ℰ = emf, Δφ = change in magnetic flux, Δt = elapsed time

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the loop, so the magnetic flux φ is given by:

φ = BA

B = magnetic field strength, A = loop area

The area of the loop A is given by:

A = πr²

r = loop radius

Make a substitution:

φ = B2πr²

Since the strength of the magnetic field is changing while the radius of the loop isn't changing, the change in magnetic flux Δφ is given by:

Δφ = ΔB2πr²

ΔB = change in magnetic field strength

Make another substitution:

ℰ = |ΔB2πr²/Δt|

Given values:

ΔB = 0.20T - 0.40T = -0.20T, r = 0.50m, Δt = 2.5s

Plug in and solve for ℰ:

ℰ = |(-0.20)(2π)(0.50)²/2.5|

ℰ = 0.13V

How do materials, such as nutrients and waste, pass through the cell membrane?
Aleks04 [339]
Think of the cell membrane as a net and the nutrients are the perfect fit to fall through it. Where the waste is not the right size and will not fit through the holes of the net.
