Two cars honking at the same frequency of 800 Hz are moving toward a pedestrian standing at the curb. One car is moving with spe

ed 25 m/s, and the second car is moving at 21 m/s. What is the frequency of the beats heard by the pedestrian? Take the speed of sound as 343 m/s.

Answer:

The frequency of the beats heard by the pedestrian is 9.33 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency of the two cars, F = 800 Hz

speed of sound in air, V = 343 m/s

The sound wave length, λ = ?

λ = V / F

λ = 343 / 800

λ = 0.42875 m

The frequency of the car moving at 25 m/s heard by the pedestrian

f₁ = v₁ / λ

f₁ = 25 / 0.42875

f₁ = 58.31 Hz

The frequency of the car moving at 21 m/s heard by the pedestrian

f₂ = v₂ / λ

f₂ = 21 / 0.42875

f₂ = 48.98 Hz

The beat frequency  = f₁ - f₂

                                  = 58.31 - 48.98

                                  = 9.33 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the beats heard by the pedestrian is 9.33 Hz

On the surface of the earth, weight is calculated by:
sdas [7]

On the surface of the earth, weight is calculated by multiplying mass and gravity.

 

<span>Because we know the radius of the Earth, we can use the Law of Universal Gravitation to calculate the mass of the Earth in terms of the gravitational force on an object (its weight) at the Earth's surface, using the radius of the Earth as the distance. We also need the Constant of Proportionality in the Law of Universal Gravitation, G. This value was experimentally determined by Henry Cavendish in the 18th century to be the extemely small force of 6.67 x 10</span>-11 Newtons between two objects weighing one kilogram each and separated by one meter. Cavendish determined this constant by accurately measuring the horizontal force between metal spheres in an experiment sometimes referred to as "weighing the earth."

 

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the third choice or letter C. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

A man of mass 80.0 kg stands on a platform of mass 40.0 kg. He pulls on a rope that is fastened to the platform and runs over a
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:F=648 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of man m_1=80 kg

mass of Platform m_2=40 kg

acceleration of system a=1 m/s^2

Let F be the force with which man pulls the rope which will also create a tension of F in rope

From Diagram

2F-(m_1+m_2)g=(m_1+m_2)a

2F=(m_1+m_2)(g+a)

F=\frac{(m_1+m_2)(g+a)}{2}

F=\frac{(80+40)(9.8+1)}{2}

F=\frac{1296}{2}

F=648 N
