You are driving along a highway at 35.0 m/s when you hear the siren of a police car approaching you from behind and you perceive

the frequency as 1310 Hz. You are relieved that he is in pursuit of a different speeder when he continues past you, but now you perceive the frequency as 1240 Hz. What is the frequency of the siren in the police car? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

Answer:

$f_{police}=1268.7 Hz$

Explanation:

We can use Doppler equation to find the frequency of the siren.

First of all we have the police car moving behind the car. Hence, the frequency detected by the car will be:

$f_{car1}=f_{police}(\frac{v_{s}-v_{car}}{v_{s}-v_{police}})$ (1)

Now, when the police car is moving in front of the car, the frequency detected by the car will be:

$f_{car2}=f_{police}(\frac{v_{s}+v_{car}}{v_{s}+v_{police}})$ (2)

By solving equation (1) and equation (2) for $v_{police}$ we have:

$v_{police} = 44.67 m/s$

Knowing that:

f(car1) = 1310 Hz
f(car2) = 1240 Hz
Vs = 343 m/s
V(car) = 35 m/s

Finally, we just need to put this value into the first equation to find frequency of the police car.

$f_{police}=f_{car}(\frac{v_{s}-v_{police}}{v_{s}-v_{car}})$

$f_{police}=1310(\frac{343-44.7}{343-35})$

$f_{police}=1268.7 Hz$

I hope it helps you!

Why do you rotate when you hold a spinning wheel?

choli [55]

When you hold a spinning wheel, the wheel and you, chair included, form a system that obeys the principle of "conservation of angular momentum". This means that any changes in angular momentum within the system must accompanied by an equal and opposite change, so the net force is zero.

If i am changing velocity, i must also have _______ and a net _________

Alinara [238K]

if i am changing velocity, i must also have <u>acceleration</u> and a net <u>force</u>

<h2><u>Newton's</u><u> </u><u>first</u><u> </u><u>law</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>motio</u><u>n</u></h2>

Newton's first law of motion states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

According to Newton's first law of motion, without a force acting on an object, its velocity does not change. The net force acts on an object to change its velocity and cause acceleration.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

$30 N \cdot m$

Explanation:

The torque applied by a force can be calculated as

$\tau = F d sin \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the length of the arm

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the arm

In this problem, we have

F = 15 N

d = 2.0 m

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\tau = (15)(2.0) sin 90^{\circ}=30 N \cdot m$

Answer:

$q=10^{-6}(e^{-4000t}-4e^{-1000t}+3)C$

Explanation:

Given that $L=1H, R=5000\Omega, \ C=0.25\times10^{-6}F, \ \ E(t)=12V$ , we use Kirchhoff's 2nd Law to determine the sum of voltage drop as:

$E(t)=\sum{Voltage \ Drop}\\\\L\frac{d^2q}{dt^2}+R\frac{dq}{dt}+\frac{1}{C}q=E(t)\\\\\\\frac{d^2q}{dt^2}+5000\frac{dq}{dt}+\frac{1}{0.25\times10^{-6}}q=12\\\\\frac{d^2q}{dt^2}+5000\frac{dq}{dt}+4000000q=12\\\\m^2+5000m+4000000=0\\\\(m+4000)(m+1000)=0\\\\m=-4000 \ or \ m=-1000\\\\q_c=c_1e^{-4000t}+c_2e^{-1000t}$

#To find the particular solution:

$Q(t)=A,\ Q\prime(t)=0,Q\prime \prime(t)=0\\\\0+0+4000000A=12\\\\A=3\times10^{-6}\\\\Q(t)=3\times10^{-6},\\\\q=q_c+Q(t)\\\\q=c_1e^{-4000t}+c_2e^{-1000t}+3\times10^{-6}\\\\q\prime=-4000c_1e^{-4000t}-1000c_2e^{-1000t}\\q\prime(0)=0\\\\-4000c_1-1000c_2=0\\c_1+c_2+3\times10^{-6}=0\\\\#solving \ simultaneously\\\\c_1=10^{-6},c_2=-4\times10^{-6}\\\\q=10^{-6}e^{-4000t}-4\times10^{-6}e^{-1000t}+3\times10^{-6}\\\\q=10^{-6}(e^{-4000t}-4e^{-1000t}+3)C$

Hence the charge at any time, t is $q=10^{-6}(e^{-4000t}-4e^{-1000t}+3)C$
