<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.

Astronomers have observed a small, massive object at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. A ring of material orbits this massive
Setler [38]

Answer:

The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 light year

Orbital speed = 180 km/s

Suppose determine the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Take the distance of one light year to be 9.461×10¹⁵ m. I was able to get this it is 4.26×10³⁷ kg.

We need to calculate the radius of the orbit

Using formula of radius

r=\dfrac{d}{2}

r=\dfrac{15\times9.461\times10^{15}}{2}

r=7.09\times10^{16}\ m

We need to calculate the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy

Using formula of mass

M=\dfrac{v^2r}{G}

Put the value into the formula

M=\dfrac{(180\times10^3)^2\times7.09\times10^{16}}{6.67\times10^{-11}}

M=3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

Hence, The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

If the temperature of an iron sphere is increased A)its density will decrease .B)its volume will decrease. C)its mass will decre
babymother [125]

Answer:

A) Its density will decrease

Explanation:

When an object is heated, its volume increases. This is due to the fact that the particles in the medium vibrate more (if it is a solid) or they move more (if it is a liquid or a gas), therefore they tend to occupy a larger space.

At the same time, the mass of the object does not change, because the mass just represents the amount of matter contained in the object, so it does not increase/decrease at different temperatures.

The density of an object is defined as the ratio between the mass (m) and the volume (V):

d=\frac{m}{V}

We said that the mass remains unchanged while the volume increases: since the density is inversely proportional to the volume, this means that the density decreases.
