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

How to change V=72km/hr to m/s
lapo4ka [179]
Multiply by (1000 meters / 1 km).
Then multiply by (1 hour / 3600 seconds).

Both of those fractions are equal to ' 1 ', because the top
and bottom numbers are equal, so the multiplications
won't change the VALUE of the 72 km/hr.  They'll only
change the units.

(72 km/hour) · (1000 meters / 1 km) · (1 hour / 3600 seconds)

= (72 · 1000 / 3600) (km·meter·hour / hour·km·second)

=  20 meter/second

How do microwaves use the behavior and characteristics of the electromagnetic wave to function?
serg [7]

Answer:

Radiation moves out of the microwave into waves causing heat.

Explanation:

Inside your microwave oven, electrical energy is transformed into EM energy in the magnetron. When the microwave photons interact with food, food molecules are physically agitated, transforming the EM energy into kinetic energy, or energy of movement   .

Hope it helped!
