A police car is driving down the street with it's siren on. You are standing still on the sidewalk beside the street. If the fre

quency of the siren is 1500 Hz and the car is moving towards you at 15 m/s, what is the frequency you would hear from the siren? (v of sound in air = 343 m/s) (1 point)

Answer:

A) 1568.60 Hz

Explanation:

This change is frequency happens due to doppler effect

The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source

f_(observed)=\frac{(c+-V_r)}{(C+-V_s)} *f_(emmited)\\

where

C = the propagation speed of waves in the medium;

Vr= is the speed of the receiver relative to the medium,(added to C, if the receiver is moving towards the source, subtracted if the receiver is moving away from the source;

Vs= the speed of the source relative to the medium, added to C, if the source is moving away from the receiver, subtracted if the source is moving towards the receiver.

A) Here the Source is moving towards the receiver(C-Vs)

and the receiver is standing still (Vr=0) therefore the observed frequency should get higher

f_(observed)=\frac{C}{C-V_s} *f_(emmited)\\=\frac{343}{343-15}*1500\\ =1568.60 Hz

The angle of incidence is equal to one half the angle of reflection. select one:
Valentin [98]

This is false.

Angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection. This is the first law of reflection.

Angle of incidence is the angle which the incident ray makes with the normal and the angle of reflection is the angle which the reflected ray makes with the normal.

The heating element of a coffeemaker operates at 120 V and carries a current of 2.00 A. Assuming that the water absorbs all of t
gogolik [260]

Answer:

t=671.5s.

Explanation:

The heat needed will be provided by the power dissipated by the resistor. This power gives certain energy per unit time, so we multiply it by time to get the energy provided: Q=Pt.

The equation of heat given mass, specific heat and temperature change is Q=mC\Delta T, and the equation of power dissipated by a resistor is P=Vi.

Putting all together:

mC\Delta T=Vit.

Which means:

t=\frac{mC\Delta T}{Vi}.

From 23.0°C to 100°C we have a \Delta T=77^{\circ}C, which we won't need to put in Kelvin in this case since it is a variation, so for our values we have:

t=\frac{(0.5kg)(4186J/kg^{\circ}C)(77^{\circ}C)}{(120V)(2A)}=671.5s.
