Answer:f_{0} = 692.82Hz

Explanation: This question of ours is based on Doppler effect.The Doppler effect states that<em> if a source is producing sound at a specific frequency to an observer and there is a relative motion between the observer and the source, the frequency of sound perceived by the observer  will be different from that of the original from the source. </em>

This represented mathematically below as

f_{0} =\frac{v +v_{0} }{v -v_{s} }  * f

where

f_{0} = observed frequency = ?

f = original frequency of sound source = 650Hz

v = speed of sound in air = 343m/s

v_{0} = velocity of observer relative to the source = 0m/s ( the observer is standing, thus meaning he is not moving)

v_{s} = velocity of sound source relative to the observer = 21.2m/s

by putting all of these in the formulae, we have that

f_{0} = \frac{343 + 0}{343 -21.2} *650\\\\\\f_{0} = \frac{343}{321.8} * 650\\\\\\f_{0} = 692.98Hz

True [87]
Greetings!

"<span>How many significant figures does 0.00340 have?"...

A significant figure is:
-A non zero number
-A zero in between non zero numbers
-Trailing zeros to the right of the decimal point

Therefore, this number has three significant figures:
3,4,0

Hope this helps.

A 0.73-m aluminum bar is held with its length parallel to the east-west direction and dropped from a bridge. Just before the bar
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A)  B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T, B) the positive side of the bar is to the West

Explanation:

A) For this exercise we must use the expression of Faraday's law for a moving body

            fem = -  \frac{d \phi }{dt}

            fem = - \frac{d (B l y}{dt}= - B l v- d (B l y) / dt = - B lv

            B = - \frac{fem}{l \ v}

we calculate

             B = - 7.9 10⁻⁴ /(0.73 20)

             B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T

B) to determine which side of the bar is positive, we must use the right hand rule

the thumb points in the direction of the rod movement to the south, the magnetic field points in the horizontal direction and the rod is in the east-west direction.

Therefore the force points in the direction perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field is in the east direction; therefore the positive side of the bar is to the West

A solid, uniform sphere with a mass of 2.5 kg rolls without slipping down an incline plane starting from rest at a vertical heig
kolezko [41]

Answer:

1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 I ω^2 = m g h       conservation of energy

I = 2/5 m R^2     inertia of solid sphere

1/2 m v^2 + 1/5 m ω^2 R^2 = m g h

1/2 v^2 + 1/5 v^2 = g h

v^2 = 10 g h / 7 = 1.43 * 9.80 * 19 m^2/s^2 = 266 m^2/s^2

v = 16.3 m/s

v = R ω

ω = 16.3 / .6 = 27.2 / sec
