An ambulance is driving towards the hospital at a velocity 108 km/h and emitting a steady 798-Hz sound from its siren. The sound

reflects off the front of the hospital and is received by the same ambulance. In addition to it's own siren, the ambulance hears a shifted tone from the reflection at what frequency? The speed of sound on this day is 343 m/s. a. 1.06e+3Hz b. 855Hz c. 850Hz d. 1.08e+3Hz e. 950 Hz

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is a physical phenomenon where an apparent change in wave frequency is presented by a sound source with respect to its observer when that same source is in motion. Mathematically it can be described as

f_d= f_s \frac{(v+v_d)}{(v-v_s)}

The meaning of each of these variables is,

v_d=Velocity of detector

f_s=Frequency of wave emitted by source

v_s=Velocity of source

v=Velocity of sound wave

f_d=Frequency received by detector

Replacing we have that,

f_d = 798(\frac{(343+30)}{(343-30)})

f_d=950 Hz

Therefore the correct option is e. 950Hz

Between noon and 2 pm, the amount of water in the rain gauge decreased.
This can be caused by evaporation, which turns water into water vapor.
Precipitation would increase the amount of rain water in the gauges, not decrease it.
Condensation occurs after evaporation but wouldn't decrease the water in the gauges by itself.
Runoff is when water on land drains into water sources such as lakes, rivers, oceans, etc. 
So the answer is A. evaporation.

4. How much time does it take for a student running at a speed of 5 m/s to cover a distance of 2,000 m?
Monica [59]

Answer:

6 Minutes 40 Seconds or 400 Seconds

Explanation:

Time to cover a distance of 5m = 1 Second

Time to cover a distance of 2000m = 2000÷5

= 400 Seconds

After converting 400 Seconds into minutes it will become 6 minutes 40 seconds.

A woman 5.5 ft walks at a rate of 6 ft/sec towards a street light that is 22 ft above the ground. At what rate is the length of
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The length of her shadow is changing at the rate  -2 m/s

Explanation:

Let the height oh the street light, h = 22 ft

Let the height of the woman, w = 5.5 ft

Horizontal distance to the street light = l

length of shadow = x

h/w = (l + x)/x

22/5.5 =  (l + x)/x

4x = l + x

3x = l

x = 1/3 l

taking the derivative with respect to t of both sides

dx/dt = 1/3 dl/dt

dl/dt = -6 ft/sec ( since the woman is walking towards the street light, the value of l is decreasing with time)

dx/dt = 1/3 * (-6)

dx/dt = -2 m/s
