To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The general expression to apply the Doppler effect is given by the function:

$f = (\frac{f_0}{1\pm v_s/v})$

Here,

f_0 = Original Frequency

f = Observed Frequency

$v_s$ = Speed of the object

v = Speed of the sound wave

PART A)

Converting the velocity to SI units we have,

$v = 90km/h(\frac{3600s}{1h})(\frac{1000m}{1km})$

$v = 25m/s$

Replacing at the equation we have,

$f = (\frac{f_0}{1 - v_s/v})$

$f = (\frac{600Hz}{1-25/343})$

$f = 650Hz$

Therefore the frequency for a person standing beside the road in front of the car is 650Hz

PART B) The frequency for a person standing beside the road behind the car would be,

$f = (\frac{f_0}{1+v_s/v})$

$f = (\frac{600Hz}{1-25/343})$

$f = 560Hz$

Why is it important to know the location of active and inactive faults in our country?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

I hope this helps.

Explanation:

It's important to know the location of an active fault in order to determine the magnitude of the expected earthquake. There is a chance than an inactive fault can become active again. It's important that we take the locations into account in order to be prepared and ready for if it occurs.

One type of slingshot can be made from a length of rope and a leather pocket for holding the stone. The stone can be thrown by w

grigory [225]

Answer:

15.66 rad/s

Explanation:

The vertical motion and horizontal motion are independent of each other.

t = √ ( 2 s/ g) where t = time for the ball to reach the ground and s is the height of the cliff = 18.0 m

t = √ ( 36 / 9.81 ) = 1.916 secs

horizontal distance travel = ut where u is the horizontal velocity of the stone = 30 × r (radius)

tangential velocity V = angular velocity ( ω) × radius

distance traveled = ω × r × t = 30 × r

radius cancelled on both side

ω = 30 / 1.9156 = 15.66 rad/s

A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

$\eta$ = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

$P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW$

Waste of power

$2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W$

Number of homes would be given by

$n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes$

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647

A 0.29 kg particle moves in an xy plane according to x(t) = - 19 + 1 t - 3 t3 and y(t) = 20 + 7 t - 9 t2, with x and y in meters

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 7.76 N$

Part b)

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration is rate of change in velocity of the object

So here we know that

$x = -19 + t - 3t^3$

$y = 20 + 7t - 9t^2$

Part a)

differentiate x and y two times with respect to time to find the acceleration

$a_x = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(-19 + t - 3t^3)$

$a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$a_x = -18t$

$a_y = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(20 + 7t - 9t^2)$

$a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +7 - 18t)$

$a_y = -18$

Now the acceleration of the object is given as

$\vec a = (-18t)\hat i + (-18)\hat j$

at t= 1.1 s we have

$\vec a = -19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j$

now the net force of the object is given as

$\vec F = m\vec a$

$\vec F = (0.29 kg)(-19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j)$

$\vec F = -5.74 \hat i - 5.22 \hat j$

now magnitude of the force will be

$F = \sqrt{5.74^2 + 5.22^2} = 7.76 N$

Part b)

Direction of the force is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-5.22}{-5.74}$

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

For velocity of the particle we have

$v_x = \frac{dx}[dt}$

$v_x = (0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v_y = (0 +7 - 18t)$

now at t = 1.1 s

$\vec v = -9.89\hat i - 12.8 \hat j$

now the direction of the velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.8}{-9.89})$

$\theta = -127.7 degree$
