a) , 1.6 A
b) , 1.33 A
Explanation:
a)
In this situation, we have two resistors connected in series.
The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances, so in this circuit:
where
Therefore, the equivalent resistance is
Now we can use Ohm's Law to find the current flowing through the circuit:
where
V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery
is the equivalent resistance of the circuit
Substituting,
The two resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.6 A.
b)
In this part, a third resistor is added in series to the circuit; so the new equivalent resistance of the circuit is
where:
Substituting, we find the equivalent resistance:
Now we can find the current through the circuit by using again Ohm's Law:
where
V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery
is the equivalent resistance
Substituting,
And the three resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.33 A.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the described wavelength through frequency and speed. Mathematically it can be expressed as:
Where,
Wavelength
f = Frequency
v = Velocity
Our values are given as,
Speed of sound
Keep in mind that we do not use the travel speed of the ambulance because we are in front of it. In case it approached or moved away we should use the concepts related to the Doppler effect:
Replacing we have,
Therefore the frequency that you hear if you are standing in from of the ambulance is 0.1214m
