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)
1568.60 Hz
1321.43 Hz
2019.11 Hz
1676.92 Hz


If the same police car in question 1 has passed you and is now moving away from you at the same speed, what is the frequency you will hear from the siren? (1 point)

Answer:

A) 1568.60 Hz

B) 1437.15 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

B)Here the Source is moving away the receiver(C+Vs)

and the receiver is still not moving (Vr=0) therefore the observed frequency should be lesser

f_(observed)=\frac{C}{C+V_s} *f_(emmited)\\=\frac{343}{343+15}*1500\\ =1437.15 Hz

I am sitting in my seat.
I am listening to my mp3 and reading my book.
My eyes are getting heavy.  They start to close.
I try to stay awake, but it's no use.
I am so warm and comfortable and sleepy,
and I have just finished my dinner.
Finally I can't help it.  Resistance is futile.
I give up, and fall deep asleep.
My head rests back against my soft, comfy seat.

My seat is in row 26 on the airplane I'm flying in
to visit my grandmother on the coast.
We are cruising at 560 miles an hour, bearing 280°,
at flight level 320 .
The temperature outside my window is  -60°F .

Ice skaters often end their performances with spin turns, where they spin very fast about their center of mass with their arms f
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{30 rev/s}}

Explanation:

This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).

L = Iω

If momentum is conserved,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Data:

 I₁ = 3.5    kg·m²s⁻¹

ω₁ = 6.0    rev·s⁻¹

 I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹

Calculation:

\begin{array}{rcl}I_{1}\omega_{1} &= &I_{2}\omega_{2}\\\text{3.5 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times \text{6.0 rev/s} &= &\text{0.70 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times\omega_{2}\\\text{21 rev/s} &= &0.70\omega_{2}\\\omega_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{21 rev/s}}{0.70}\\\\&=&\textbf{30 rev/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The skater's final rotational speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{30 rev/s}}$}
