A police car is traveling east at 40.0 m/s along a straight road, overtaking a car ahead of it moving east at 30.0 m/s. The poli

ce car has a malfunctioning siren that is stuck at 1 000 Hz. (a) What would be the wavelength in air of the siren sound if the police car were at rest? (b) What is the wavelength in front of the police car? (c) What is it behind the police car? (d) What is the frequency heard by the driver being chased?

Answer:

a. The wavelength in air of the siren sound if the police car were at rest is 0.343m

b. The wavelength in front of the police car is 0.303m

c. The wavelength behind the police car is 0.383m

d. 1001.29Hz

Explanation:

Given

Speed 1 = 40m/s

Speed 2 = 30m/s

F = Frequency = 1000Hz

S = Speed of sound = 343 m/s

a.

What would be the wavelength in air of the siren sound if the police car were at rest

Stationary Wavelength λ = S/F= 343/1000= 0.343m

b.

What is the wavelength in front of the police car

Approaching Velocity = V = 40m/s

Approaching Wavelength = λ * (1 - V/S)

Where

λ = 0.343

S = 343m/s

Approaching Velocity = V = 40m/s

Approaching Wavelength = 0.343 * (1-40/343)

= 0.343 *(1 - 0.117)

= 0.343 * 0.883

= = 0.303m

c. .

What is the wavelength behind the police car

Approaching Velocity = V = 40m/s

Approaching Wavelength = λ * (1 + V/S)

Where

λ = 0.343

S = 343m/s

Approaching Velocity = V = 40m/s

Wavelength = 0.343 * (1 + 40/343)

= 0.343 *(1 + 0.117)

= 0.343 * 1.117

= 0.383m

d.

What is the frequency heard by the driver being chased?

Speed Of Approaching Police Car = 40 - 30 m/s = 10 m/s

Frequency heard, F = 1000 * (1 + 10/343) = 1029 Hz = 1.03 kHz

F = 1000 + 1+ 0.29

F = 1001.29Hz

A 50g ball is released from rest 1.0 above the bottom of thetrack

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The maximum height of the ball is 2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball = 50 g

Height = 1.0 m

Angle = 30°

The equation is

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2$

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$\Delta U_{i}+\Delta K_{i}=\Delta K_{f}+\Delta U_{f}$

Here, ball at rest so initial kinetic energy is zero and at the bottom the potential energy is zero

$\Delta U_{i}=\Delta K_{f}$

Put the value into the formula

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times1.0=\dfrac{1}{2}\times50\times10^{-3}\times v^2$

$v^2=\dfrac{2\times50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times1.0}{50\times10^{-3}}$

$v=\sqrt{19.6}$

$v=4.42\ m/s$

We need to calculate the maximum height of the ball

Using again conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

Here, h = y highest point

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times50\times10^{-3}\times(4.42)^2=50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times h$

$y=\dfrac{0.5\times(4.42)^2}{9.8}$

$y=0.996\ m$

Put the value of y in the given equation

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2$

$x^2=4\times0.996$

$x=\sqrt{4\times0.996}$

$x=1.99\ m\ \approx 2 m$

Hence, The maximum height of the ball is 2 m.

Write two examples of machine which increases the speed of doing work

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed multipliers are useful when an object needs to move a further distance or at a higher speed. Some examples are wheels and axles and third class levers. Machines can be either simple or complex. Simple machines are machines that only use one type of machine, such as a lever or an inclined plane.

An object with a kinetic energy of 2160 J has a new mass of 120kg. What is it's velocity?

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The velocity is 6 m/s

Explanation:

We use the formula of kinetic energy=

Ec= 1/2 x m x v2

2160 J = 1/2 x 120 kg x v2

v = $\sqrt[n]{x} 2160Joulex2/120kg\\$

v= 6m/s

1Joule= 1 kgm2/s2
