<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 286.05 Hz

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

We can use or employ the Doppler equation:

<em><u>fl = fs[(c±vl)/(c-/+vs) </u></em>

where,

  • frequency heard by listener: fl = ?
  • frequency of source: fs = 300 Hz
  • velocity of listener: vl = 16 m/s
  • velocity of source: vs = 0
  • velocity of sound in air: c = 344 m/s

The source will be the origin of the reflected signal (i.e.the

warehouse). So that, velocity of source: vs = 0

<em>The listener is the policeman moving away from the source </em>

<em>with velocity: vl = 16 m/s</em>

<em>Therefore, the Doppler equation. becomes:  </em>

<em>fl = fs [(c – vl)/c] </em>

<em>= 300[(344-16)/344] </em>

<u><em>= 286.04 Hz </em></u>

where, fl is the frequency of the reflected sound heard by

the police officer.

A child goes down the slide,starting from rest. If the length of the slide is 2m and it takes the child 3 seconds to go down the
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

0.44 m/s^2

Explanation:

We have the following data:

- distance covered by the child: d = 2 m (length of the slide)

- time taken to cover this distance: t = 3 s

- initial velocity of the child: 0 m/s (he starts from rest)

So we can find the acceleration by using the equation:

d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where a is the acceleration.

Substituting the values and solving for a,

a=\frac{2d}{t^2}=\frac{2(2)}{3^2}=0.44 m/s^2

An engineering firm is designing a ski lift. The wire rope needs to travel with a linear velocity of 2.0 meters per second, and
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The diameter of the bull-wheel is 3.82

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity = 2.0 m/s

Angular velocity = 10 rev/m

\omega=10\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}

\omega=1.0472\ rad/s

We need to calculate the diameter of bull-wheel

Using formula of angular velocity

v= r\omega

r=\dfrac{v}{\omega}

Put the value into the formula

r=\dfrac{2.0}{1.0472}

r=1.91\ m

The diameter of the bull-wheel

D=2r

D=2\times1.91

D=3.82\ m

Hence, The diameter of the bull-wheel is 3.82 m.

What should a free-body diagram look like for a skydiver who has opened his parachute and is now slowing down as he falls?
mote1985 [20]
The last choice. Two arrows and the arrow up is shorter than the arrow down. Since the guy is falling and he’s opened his chute, he’s slowing down but he’s still falling meaning the force of gravity is stronger than the air resistance.

25 POINTS FOR ANSWER How are Newton’s Laws used to describe the motion of planets? Justify your response in two or more complete
Alexus [3.1K]

Pour la seule et simple raison qu'elle s'exerce entre tous les corps de l'univers ( objet, astres etc..

Si on tient compte des frottements liés aux chocs successifs des billes les une sur les autre, au bout d'un certain temps, le mouvement va cesser.

Si on dit que toute l'énergie potentielle de pesanteur est transformée en énergie cinétique, et réciproquement, donc que l'énergie mécanique est conservée au fil des chocs et des rebonds, alors, le mouvement est perpétuel. Le nombre de billes qui remontent est toujours égal au nombre de billes qu'on a lâchées.

La première loi concerne des systèmes immobiles, ou plutôt on considère des systèmes dit "isolé", c'est à dire qu'ils ne sont pas soumis à d'autre force que celle que l'on connait.

Ce qu'il faut retenir de celui ci c'est ça :

Si j'ai un système en mouvement rectiligne uniforme OU immobile, alors :

Avec F1 F2 F3, trois forces s'exercant sur mon système

Attention ! Ici je n'ai pas mit les flèches sur les différentes forces mais elles sont obligatoires ! On parle de vecteur force !

Pour la deuxième loi :

C'est le même principe, la différence c'est que l'on est en mouvement.

 

Avec a le vecteur accélération. Il y a beaucoup de ressource sur le net, n'hésite pas à regarder, la j'ai simplement pu te donner les expressions les plus connus. Mais il faudra les manipuler, et sans exercice sur lequel se baser, c'est plus difficile ! 

La troisième loi est bien moins importante que les deux autres, mais n'hésite pas à regarder sur le net, tu trouveras l'énoncé. C'est la même logique.
