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

What is the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 hz?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

T = 0.003 s

(Period is written as T)

Explanation:

Period = time it takes for one wave to pass (measured in seconds)

frequency = number of cycles that occur in 1 second

(measured in Hz / hertz / 1 second)

Period : T

frequency : f

So, if we know that the frequency of a wave is 300 Hz, we can find the period of the wave from the relation between frequency and period

T =  \frac{1}{f}    f = \frac{1}{T}

to find the period (T) of this wave, we need to plug in the frequency (f) of 300

T = \frac{1}{300}

T = 0.00333333333

So, the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 Hz is 0.003 s

[the period/T of this wave is 0.003 s]

What is the resistance of a carbon rod at 25.8 ∘C if its resistance is 0.0200 Ω at 0.0 ∘C ?
torisob [31]

0.02020 ohm is the resistance of a carbon rod at 25.8 ∘C if its resistance is 0.0200 Ω at 0.0 ∘C.

<h3 /><h3>What is a resistor?</h3>

A resistor is an electrical component that controls or restricts how much electrical current can pass across a circuit in an electronic device. A specified voltage can be supplied via resistors to an active device like a transistor.

The temperature of the resistor varies based on the variation in the temperature. The equation that describes the relationship between the two of them is:

R = R0[1+ alpha(T-T0)]  where:

R is the new resistance we are looking for

alpha is the temperature coefficient of resistance. For carbon rod, alpha = ₋ 4.8 x 10^{-4}(1/°c)

T0 is the standard temperature =25.8°C

R0 is the resistance at T0 = 0.0200 ohms

T is the temperature at which we want to get R = 0

Substitute in the equation to get R as follows:

R = 0.0200 [1+( ₋ 4.8 x 10^{-4}) (0-25.8)] = 0.02020 ohm

A hiker starts at point P and walks 2.0 km due east and then walks at an angle of 30 degrees north of east for 1.4 km.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the hiker’s displacement is 2.96 km

Explanation:

Let the initial displacement of the hiker, = x = 2km

the final displacement of the hiker, = y = 1.4 km

The resultant of the two vectors, According to Pythagorean theorem is the vector sum of the two vectors.

R' = x' + y'

Una locomotiva traina un solo vagone, che ha la sua stessa massa, con la forza di
gregori [183]

Answer:

c)    F = 16000 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's second law

         F = ma

they tell us that adding the other wagons the acceleration of the locomotive must be maintained

 

      F = m a

by adding the other four wagons

mass = 4 no

therefore to maintain the force you must also raise the same factor

         Fe = 4Fo

         Fe = 4 4000

         F = 16000 N
