A speaker fixed to a moving platform moves toward a wall, emitting a steady sound with a frequency of 235 Hz. A person on the pl

atform right next to the speaker detects the sound waves reflected off the wall and those emitted by the speaker. How fast should the platform move, vp, for the person to detect a beat frequency of 4.00 Hz? Take the speed of sound to be 344 m/s.

Answer: 2.9 m/s

Explanation:

The frequency of the beat is 4 Hz

The relative Doppler frequency is 235 + 4 = 239 Hz

We would be solving this question, using the formula for Doppler's effect

f(d) = f(v+vr)/(v-vs), where

F = 235 Hz

F(d) = 239 Hz

v = 344 m/s and vr = vs

239 = 235 (344 + vr) / (344 - vr)

239 ( 344 - vr) = 235 (344 + vr)

82216 - 239 vr = 80849 + 235 vr

82216 - 80849 = 235 vr + 239 vr

1376 = 474 vr

vr = 1376/474

vr = 2.9 m/s

Thus the speed the platform should move is 2.9 m/s

9. A ball is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 30 m/s. How long will it take to reach the top of its trajectory, and h
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1.) Time t = 3.1 seconds

2.) Height h = 46 metres

Explanation:

given that the initial velocity U = 30 m/s

At the top of the trajectory, the final velocity V = 0

Using first equation of motion

V = U - gt

g is negative 9.81m/^2 as the object is going against the gravity.

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

0 = 30 - 9.81t

9.81t = 30

Make t the subject of formula

t = 30/9.81

t = 3.058 seconds

t = 3.1 seconds approximately

Therefore, it will take 3.1 seconds to reach to reach the top of its trajectory.

2.) The height it will go can be calculated by using second equation of motion

h = ut - 1/2gt^2

Substitutes U, g and t into the formula

h = 30(3.1) - 1/2 × 9.8 × 3.1^2

h = 93 - 47.089

h = 45.911 m

It will go 46 metres approximately high.
