Answer:

Explanation:

The Doppler effect occurs when a source of waves and/or observer move relative to each other, resulting in the observer measuring a different frequency of the waves than the frequency that the source is emitting.

Let use our case study.

It would be higher pitched when approaching due to the Doppler effect.

The sound waves as you approach them, travel faster relative to you so they pass more frequently which is higher pitched. when you travel away from the source you are out-speeding these waves so they sound slower and thus, lower-pitched.

When a car approaches bus, the sound waves that reach person on the bus have a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency. The person hear a sound with a higher pitch. When the car moves away from bus, the sound waves that reach the person have a longer wavelength and lower frequency. The person hear a sound with a lower pitch.

F F= {mango, apple, banana, orange)

Stels [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cardinality of a set is the number of elements in that set. Given the set.

F= {mango, apple, banana, orange), we are to determine the cardinality of the set i.e the amount of fruit present in the set. Cardinality of the set F is represented as n(F).

Since there are 4 different fruit in the given set F, hence the cardinality of the set F is n(F) = 4

A submarine is 2.84 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

468 m

Explanation:

So the building and the point where the laser hit the water surface make a right triangle. Let's call this triangle ABC where A is at the base of the building, B is at the top of the building, and C is where the laser hits the water surface. Similarly, the submarine, the projected submarine on the surface and the point where the laser hit the surface makes a another right triangle CDE. Let D be the submarine and E is the other point.

The length CE is length AE - length AC = 284 - 234 = 50 m

We can calculate the angle ECD:

$tan(\hat{ECD}) = \frac{ED}{EC} = \frac{100}{50} = 2$

$\hat{ECD} = tan^{-1} 2 = 63.43^o$

This is also the angle ACB, so we can find the length AB:

$tan(\hat{ACB}) = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{AB}{234}$

$2 = \frac{AB}{234}$

$AB = 2*234 = 468 m$

So the height of the building is 468m

Semmy [17]

Answer:

2.68 hours

Explanation:

A.) Suppose the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east). The pilot should then head her plane to northwest direction to move directly north.

B.) Given that plane flies at a speed of 102 km/h in still air. And the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east) at a speed of 46 km/h.

The plan resultant speed can be calculated by using pythagorean theorem.

Resultant Speed = Sqrt( 102^2 + 46^2 )

Resultant Speed = Sqrt( 12520)

Resultant speed = 111.89 km/h

From the definition of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Where distance = 300 km

Substitute the resultant speed and the distance into the formula.

111.89 = 300/time

Time = 300/111.89

Time = 2.68 hours

Therefore, it take her 2.68 hours to reach a point 300 km directly north of her srarting point
