So, option 3 or the ambulance sound waves have more waves and shorter wavelength is the correct reason for ambulance siren having higher pitch compared to fire truck siren

Explanation:

Pitch of any sound wave is determined as the clarity in frequency of notes or the number of times a cycle is repeated for a single second. So pitch is similar to frequency. And frequency is the measure of number of complete cycles in a second. So if the ambulance siren has higher pitch compared to siren of fire truck. Then this means the frequency of ambulance siren is greater than the fire truck siren. As the frequency is more, then from the given options, choice 3 is correct. The ambulance siren have more waves and shorter wavelength. As more the frequency or number of waves, lesser or shorter is the wavelength of sound wave from ambulance.

A torque of 36.5 N · m is applied to an initially motionless wheel which rotates around a fixed axis. This torque is the result

vivado [14]

Answer:

$21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

$3.672\ \text{Nm}$

$54.66\ \text{revolutions}$

Explanation:

$\tau$ = Torque = 36.5 Nm

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 0

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity = 10.3 rad/s

t = Time = 6.1 s

I = Moment of inertia

From the kinematic equations of linear motion we have

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha_1 t\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{10.3-0}{6.1}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=1.69\ \text{rad/s}^2$
