<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.

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 4 m in 4 s?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 2000 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

power = ?

Weight of object = 200-N

height = 4 m

Time = 4 s

Power is the rate of work done per unit time i.e Power is simply obtained by dividing work by time. Its unit is watts.

i.e Power = work / time

(since work = force x distance, and weight is the force acting on the object due to gravity)

Then, Power = (weight x distance) / time

Power = (200N x 4m) / 4s

Power = 8000Nm / 4s

Power = 2000 watts

Thus, 2000 watts of power is needed to lift the object.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

176,000 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

F = (4 × 40,000 kg) (1.1 m/s²)

F = 176,000 N
