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

How much work is done if you push a 200 N box across a floor with a force of 50 N for a distance of 20m
vovikov84 [41]
<h2>Answer: 1000 J</h2>

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

It should be noted that it is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter:  

1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (1)

When they are not parallel, both directions form an angle, let's call it \alpha. In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:  

W=Fdcos{\alpha} (2)

For example, in order to push the 200 N box across the floor, you have to apply a force along the distance d to overcome the resistance of the weight of the box (its 200 N).  

In this case both <u>(the force and the distance in the path) are parallel</u>, so the work W performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box F=50N by the distance traveled d. as shown in equation (1).

Hence:

W=(50N)(20m)  

W=1000Nm=1000J >>>>This is the work

A 30 ohm resistor and a 20 ohm resistor are
Reptile [31]

The current that would pass through the 30 ohms resistor is 2 A.

<h3>What is electric current?</h3>

Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge round a conductor.

To calculate the electric current that would pass through the 30 ohms resistor, we use the formula below

Formula:

  • I = V/Rt........... Equation 1

Where:

  • I = Electric current passing through the 30 ohms resistor
  • V = Voltage
  • Rt = Total or effective resistance of the resistors.

From the question,

Given:

  • V = 100 volts
  • Rt = (30+20) ohms (since both resistors are connected in series)
  • Rt = 50 ohms

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • I = 100/50
  • I = 2 A

Hence, The current that would pass through the 30 ohms resistor is 2 A.
