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

QC Suppose you hear a clap of thunder 16.2s after seeing the associated lightning strike. The speed of light in air is 3.00× 10⁸
MAVERICK [17]

If you hear a clap of thunder in a time of 16.2s after seeing the associated lightning strike, you are: 5508 m far from the lightning strike

To solve this problem we must consider that the speed of light is greater than the speed of sound, therefore to calculate the distance we must use the speed of sound (340 m/s).

The formula and procedure we will use to solve this exercise is:

x = v * t

Where:

  • x = distance
  • t = time
  • v = velocity

Information about the problem:

  • v(sound) = 340 m/s
  • t = 16.2 s
  • x=?

Applying the distance formula we have that:

x = v * t

x= 340 m/s * 16.2 s

x = 5508 m

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

It is a physical quantity that indicates the displacement of a mobile per unit of time, it is expressed in units of distance per time, for example (miles/h, km/h).

Answer:

4) Isaac Newton was the first scientist to propose the idea that gravity increases distance between objects decrease

Explanation:

1 - Kepler may have inspired most of Newton's propositions, but there is no record of collaborating on the theory of universal gravitation.

2 - The universal gravitation theory resemble the works of other great scientists, but Newton was indeed the first to propose this idea of gravitation

3 - On the contrary, these scientists have shared concepts, with differences in accuracy that supersede each other to be accepted by the community (i.e: Einstein being at the forefront despite sharing some ideas with Newton)

What value do we use to describe acceleration due to gravity
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

9.8 m/s2

Explanation:

In the first equation above, g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth. That is to say, the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the earth at sea level is 9.8 m/s2.

Got it from the internet, hope it helps though ^^
