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

1. A truck with a mass of 8, 000 kg is traveling at 26.8 m/s when it hits the brakes. A.)What is the momentum of the truck befor
NikAS [45]

Answer:

1. A.) The moment of the truck before it hits the brakes is 214,400 kg·m/s

B.) The force it takes to stop the truck is approximately 17,290.4 N

Explanation:

1. A.) The given parameters are;

The mass of the truck, m = 8,000 kg

The velocity of the truck when it hits the brakes, u = 26.8 m/s

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

The moment of the truck = The mass of the truck × The velocity of the truck

Therefore;

The moment of the truck before it hits the brakes = 8,000 kg × 26.8 m/s = 214,400 kg·m/s

B.) The amount of momentum lost when the truck comes to a stop = The initial momentum of the truck

The time it takes the truck to come to a complete stop, t = 12.4 s

The deceleration, "a" of the truck is given by the following kinematic equation of motion

v = u - a·t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the truck = 0 m/s

u = The initial velocity = 26.8 m/s

a = the deceleration of the truck

t = The time of deceleration of the truck = 12.4 s

Substituting the known values gives;

0 = 26.8 - a × 12.4

Therefore;

26.8 = a × 12.4

a = 26.8/12.4 ≈ 2.1613

The deceleration (negative acceleration) of the truck, a ≈ 2.1613 m/s²

Force = Mass × Acceleration

The force required to stop the truck = The mass pf the truck × The deceleration (negative acceleration) given to the truck

∴ The force it takes to stop the truck = 8,000 kg × 2.1613 m/s² ≈ 17,290.4 N.

4. A car accelerates, from rest, at 2.4 m/s?. How fast is the car traveling
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

19.2m/s

Explanation:

Assuming that 2.4m/s^2 was the acceleration and not a typo, we can use the equation v=at, where v=velocity, a=acceleration, and t=time,

plug in known varibles,

v=2.4*8

v=19.2m/s

A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting from a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound. What is the time interv
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

Explanation:

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency by the equation

          v = λ f

where the speed of sound is 340 m / s

          λ = v / f

          λ = 340/500

          λ = 0.68 m

this is the wavelength, it is the minimum distance for which the wave epitates its movement, which is equal to the distance between two consecutive compressions of the sound

          ΔX = λ = 0.68 m
