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

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min

a 2500 kg car going 35 m/a hits a 4000kg truck that is sitting still. What is the velocity of the truck if the car transfers all
lianna [129]

Answer:

Velocity of truck is 21.875 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car (m) = 2500 kg

Initial speed of the car (u) = 35 m/s

Mass of the truck (M) = 4000 kg

Initial speed of the truck (U) = 0 m/s (Rest)

As per question, the total momentum of the car gets transferred to the truck.

Therefore, the final momentum of the car is 0.

Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity.

So, if momentum becomes zero means the velocity becomes 0.

Therefore, final velocity of the car (v) = 0 m/s

Let the final velocity of truck be 'V' m/s.

Now, during collision, the total momentum remains conserved.

Initial momentum  = Final momentum.

Initial momentum of car + Initial momentum of truck = Final momentum of car + Final momentum of truck.

⇒ mu+MU=mv+MV\\\\2500\times 35+4000\times 0=2500\times 0+4000\times V\\\\87500+0=0+4000V\\\\4000V=87500\\\\V=\frac{87500}{4000}\\\\V=21.875\ m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the truck is 21.875 m/s.

Which front formed widespread clouds rain or snow
Karolina [17]

Answer: A cold front occurs when cold, denser air replaces the rising, less dense air mass. The reason this front brings in the rain is that as the rising warm air cools (as it rises to the cooler upper atmosphere) the moisture in it condenses into clouds that precipitate down as rain or snow.
