<h2>Answer: The Medium </h2><h2 />

<u>The medium is the main factor that differentiates a mechanical wave from an electromagnetic wave,</u> since the first can not propagate without its existence, while the second can propagate regardless of whether the medium exists or not.

In addition, it is the medium that will define, the propagation speed of the wave, according to its specific physical characteristics.

Unless indicated otherwise, assume the speed of sound in air to be v = 344 m/s. A stationary police car emits a sound of frequen

bixtya [17]

Answer:

a) The velocity of the car is 7.02 m/s and the car is approaching to the police car as the frequency of the police car is increasing.

b) The frequency is 1404.08 Hz

Explanation:

If the police car is a stationary source, the frequency is:

$f_{a} =(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v} )f_{s}$ (eq. 1)

fs = frequency of police car = 1200 Hz

fa = frequency of moving car as listener

v = speed of sound of air

vc = speed of moving car

If the police car is a stationary observer, the frequency is:

$f_{L} =f_{a} (\frac{v}{v-v_{c} } )=(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{c} } )f_{s}$ (eq. 2)

Now,

fL = frequecy police car receives

fs = frequency police car as observer

a) The velocity of car is from eq. 2:

$1250=1200(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{c} } )\\1250(v-v_{c} )=1200(v+v_{c} )\\v_{c} =\frac{50*344}{2450} =7.02m/s$

b) Substitute eq. 1 in eq. 2:

$f_{L} =(\frac{v+v_{p} }{v-v_{c} } )(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{p} } )f_{s} =(\frac{344+20}{344-7.02} )(\frac{344+7.02}{344-20} )*1200=1404.08Hz$

What is the magnitude of g at a height above Earth's surface where free-fall acceleration equals 6.5m/s^2?

prohojiy [21]

You've given the answer, right there in your question.

The "magnitude of gravity" is described in terms of the acceleration
due to it, and you just told us what that is.

We can also notice that the figure you gave is about 0.66 of the
acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface. That tells us that
the distance from the Earth's center at that height is about

(1 / √0.66) = 1.23 times

the Earth's radius, so the height is about 910 miles above the surface.
