Answer: observed frequency (f') = 511.97Hz

Explanation: when there is a relative motion between an observer and a sound source, the frequency of sound wave perceived by the observer is different from the frequency of originally sent out by the sound source.

This is called Doppler effect and given mathematically below as

f' = (v + v') /(v- vs) * f

f' = observed frequency

v = speed of sound in air = 340m/s

v' = velocity of observer= 45m/s

vs = velocity of source relative to observer = - 36m/s ( the negative sign came as a result of the fact that the velocity of the source is in opposite direction to the velocity of the observer)

f = original frequency of sound source = 500Hz

f' = (340 + 45)/{340 -(-36)} * 500

f' = 385/ (340 + 36) * 500

f' = 385/ 376 * 500

f' = 1.0239 * 500

f' = 511.97Hz

A bullet with mass 1.0kg and velocity 180 m/s is brought to rest in 0.02 s by a sandbag.assuming constant acceleration in the sa
kotykmax [81]
Hello
The bullet is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.
The initial velocity is v_i=180~m/s, the final velocity is v_i=0~m/s, and the total time of the motion is \Delta t=0.02~s, so the acceleration is given by
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t} = -9000~m/s^2 
where the negative sign means that is a deceleration.
Therefore we can calculate the total distance covered by the bullet in its motion using
S=v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 180~m/s \cdot 0.02~s + \frac{1}{2}(-9000~m/s^2)(0.02~s)^2=1.8~m
So, the bullet penetrates the sandbag 1.8 meters.

blsea [12.9K]

We have that the electric field at the center of the metal ball due only to the charges on the surface of the metal ball is

E=7*10^{9}N/C

From the question we are told that

A solid metal ball of radius 1.5 cm

bearing a charge of -15 nC is located near a hollow plastic ball of radius 1.9 cm bearing

uniformly distributed charge of -7 nC

The distance between the centers of the balls is 9 cm

Generally the equation for the electric field  is mathematically given as

E=\frac{kq_2}{d^2}\\\\E=\frac{(9*10^9)7*10^{-2}}{9*10^{-2}}\\\\

E=7*10^{9}N/C
