To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler Effect, defined as the change in apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. Mathematically it can be written as

f_{obs} = f(\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})

Here,

f_s= Frequency of the source

v_w = Speed of the sound

v_s= Speed of source

Now the velocity we have that

v_s = 116km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

v_s = 32.22m/s

Then replacing our values,

f_{obs} = (950Hz) (\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-32.22m/s})

f_{obs} = 1047.86Hz

Therefore the frequency of the observer is 1047.86Hz

Which person is weightless?
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object helps in determining the weight of an object. But a place where there will be no gravity or have zero gravitational pull then it means the person will be weightless.

For example, force of gravity on moon is zero which means any object or person on moon will be weightless.

On the other hand, when a child is in the air as she plays on a trampoline then it means gravitational pull form the earth is acting on it. So, it will definitely has some weight.

Similarly, a scuba diver exploring a deep-sea wreck is under the ground where there will be force of gravity. Hence, it will also have some weight.

Thus, we can conclude that an astronaut on the Moon is the person who is weightless.

I NEED HELP PLZ. can some one explain partial variation ​
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Partial Variation is a relation that is of the form y = mx+b. The graph of y = mx+b is a straight line with the slope of m and a y-intercept of b. ... The relation y = mx +b represents partial variation because the value of y varies partially with the value of x.

An insect crawls 4 m east along a hiking path in
alexandr1967 [171]

The insect's velocity is 0.2 meter/second along east.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The rate at which a body's displacement changes in relation to time is known as its velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction. SI unit of velocity is meter/second.

Given parameters:

An insect crawls 4 m east along a hiking path.

Time taken by it: t = 20 seconds.

We have to fine: the insect's velocity, v =?

So, the magnitude of velocity: v= 4/20 meter/second = 0.2 meter/second.

And the direction velocity is along east.

Hence,  the insect's velocity is 0.2 meter/second along east.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

W = 7.5 J

Explanation:

W = KE

W = ½mv² = ½0.6(5²) = 7.5 J

Niño, piedra y ascensor están todos en el mismo marco de referencia inercial.

los 2 m / s no son importantes.
