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

You kick a ball with a speed of 14 m/s at an angle of 51°. How far away does the ball land?
In-s [12.5K]
-- The vertical component of the ball's velocity is 14 sin(<span>51°) = 10.88 m/s

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

-- The ball rises for 10.88/9.8 seconds, then stops rising, and drops for the
same amount of time before it hits the ground.

-- Altogether, the ball is in the air for (2 x 10.88)/(9.8) = 2.22 seconds
==================================

-- The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is  14 cos(</span><span>51°) = 8.81 m/s

-- At this speed, it covers a horizontal distance of (8.81) x (2.22) = <em><u>19.56 meters</u></em>
before it hits the ground.


As usual when we're discussing this stuff, we completely ignore air resistance.

A transformer is designed to provide 6 V from a 150 V supply. If the primary coil has 1000 turns, how many turns does the second
zavuch27 [327]
The applicable relationship is N1/N2 = V1/V2, meaning the ratio of primary voltage to secondary voltage is equal to the ratio of primary turns to secondary turns.

Here N1 = 1000, V1 = 250, V2 = 400V and N2 = TBD.

Rewriting the above relationship, N2 = N1 V2/V1 = 1000 x 400/250 = 1600 turns.
