Answer:

A. The wavelength doubles but the wave speed is unchanged

Explanation:

The relationship between the period and wavelength is direct. Doubling the period of the oscillator will correspondingly double the wavelength but the wave speed is unaffected

A car approaches you at a constant speed, sounding its horn, and you hear a frequency of 76 Hz. After the car goes by, you hear

Talja [164]

Answer:

70.07 Hz

Explanation:

Since the sound is moving away from the observer then

$f_o = f_s\frac {(v+vs)}{v}$ and $f_o = f_s\frac {(v-vs)}{v}$ when moving towards observer

With $f_o$ of 76 then taking speed in air as 343 m/s we have

$76 = f_s\times\frac {(343-vs)}{343}$

$f_s=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}$

Similarly, with $f_o$ of 65 we have

$65 = f_s\times\frac {(343+vs)}{343}\\f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}$

Now

$f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}$

v_s=27.76 m/s

Substituting the above into any of the first two equations then we obtain

$f_s=70.07 Hz$

Answer:

car B will be 30 Km ahead of car A.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the distance travelled by each car. This is illustrated below:

For car A:

Speed = 40 km/h

Time = 3 hours

Distance =?

Speed = distance / time

40 = distance / 3

Cross multiply

Distance = 40 × 3

Distance = 120 Km

For car B:

Speed = 50 km/h

Time = 3 hours

Distance =?

Speed = distance / time

50 = distance / 3

Cross multiply

Distance = 50 × 3

Distance = 150 Km

Finally, we shall determine the distance between car B an car A. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance travelled by car B (D₆) = 150 Km

Distance travelled by car A (Dₐ) = 120 Km

Distance apart =?

Distance apart = D₆ – Dₐ

Distance apart = 150 – 120

Distance apart = 30 Km

Therefore, car B will be 30 Km ahead of car A.

Water drips from the nozzle of a shower onto the floor 189 cm below. The drops fall at regular (equal) intervals of time, the fi

laiz [17]

Answer:

0.83999 m

0.20999 m

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

s = 189 cm

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 1.89=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{1.89\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.62074\ s$

When the time intervals are equal, if four drops are falling then we have 3 time intervals.

So, the time interval is

$t'=\dfrac{t}{3}\\\Rightarrow t'=\dfrac{0.62074}{3}\\\Rightarrow t'=0.206913\ s$

For second drop time is given by

$t''=2t'\\\Rightarrow t''=2\times 0.2069133\\\Rightarrow t''=0.4138266\ s$

Distance from second drop

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow y''=ut''+\dfrac{1}{2}at''^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.4138266^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.839993\ m$

Distance from second drop is 0.83999 m

Distance from third drop

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow y''=ut'+\dfrac{1}{2}at'^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.206913^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.20999\ m$
