At the Indianapolis 500, you can measure the speed of cars just by listening to the difference in pitch of the engine noise betw

een approaching and receding cars. Suppose the sound of a certain car drops by a factor of 2.40 as it goes by on the straightaway. How fast is it going? (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Dopler effect.

The equation is defined by

f_i = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}

Where

f_h= Approaching velocities

f_i= Receding velocities

c = Speed of sound

v = Emitter speed

And

f_h = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}

Therefore using the values given we can find the velocity through,

\frac{f_h}{f_0}=\frac{c-v}{c+v}

v = c(\frac{f_h-f_i}{f_h+f_i})

Assuming the ratio above, we can use any f_h and f_i with the ratio 2.4 to 1

v = 353(\frac{2.4-1}{2.4+1})

v = 145.35m/s

Therefore the cars goes to 145.3m/s

An agriculturalist working with Australian pine trees wanted to investigate the relationship between the age and the height of t
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The available regression equation is: Predict height= 0.29 + 0.48 (age).

Here, the predict height is dependent variable and the  age is in-dependent variable.

Intercept = 0.29

Slope      = 0.48

The given regression equation indicates the y on x model and the intercept coefficients of the regression equation is 0.29 and the slope is 0.48.

Step 2:

The height increases, an average, by 0.48 m per year.

Because co-efficient of slope variable indicate the positive sign and we increase 1 year in age then automatically height increased is 0.48 m.

<h3></h3><h3>The height increases, on average, by 0.48 meter each year.</h3>

3. As the ice melts into liquid water, what happens to the kinetic energy of the particles in the sample?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.
