An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1800 hz overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 2.23 m/s. after being pa

ssed, the cyclist hears a frequency of 1790 hz. how fast is the ambulance moving? (take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.

It's the Doppler Effect that "up and down sound." 

I was on Yahoo--- Brainly doesn't have an option for Credientials or Site credit, so I'll just put this in the quotes:


<span>The formula for doppler effect is always (s is speed and f is frequency): </span>
<span>f_perceived.by.observer = f_of.emitted.wave * (s_wave + s_observer) / (s_wave + s_source.of.wave) </span>

<span>And you should pay attention to the signs: </span>
<span>s_observer is positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative otherwise </span>
<span>s_source.of.wave is positive if the source is moving away from the observer, negative otherwise </span>

<span>Applying it to this case: </span>

<span>s_source.of.wave = ? (positive), speed of ambulance </span>
<span>s_observer = + 2.44 m/s speed cyclist </span>
<span>f_of.emitted.wave =1800 Hz frequency of whine </span>
<span>f_perceived.by.observer = 1760 frequency heard by cyclist </span>
<span>s_wave = 343 m/s speed of sound in air </span>

<span>Now you know every value in the equation for doppler effect except by s_source.of.wave, so you can solve for s_source.of.wave.</span>

Answer:

The electromagnetic waves appear more blue in color.

Explanation:

Doppler's Effect: When a source moves with respect to the observer the frequency of the wave emitted from the source changes. If the source moves away from the observer, the frequency decreases and wavelength increases and vice versa.

Here the light source is moving towards the observer so the frequency will increase and wavelength will decrease. Thus the spectrum will shift towards the blue part. This is known as blue shift. The light wave will appear blue in color.

A wrestler weighs in for the first match on the moon. will the athlete weigh more or less on the moon than he does on Earth?
Firdavs [7]
The moon<span> is 1/4 the size of </span>Earth<span>, so the </span>moon's<span> gravity is much less than the </span>earth's gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact. Finally, "weight<span>" is a measure of the gravitational pull between two objects. So of course you would </span>weigh<span> much less on the </span>moon<span>.</span>

What is the definition of Mutualism
noname [10]
Mutualism is a long-term relationship where two organisms interact in such a way that both of them benefits from that relationship.

For example, there is a relationship between a bird called "oxpecker", and a rhino. While the bird eats the harmful bugs (eg. tick) on the rhino's skin and relieves its hunger; the rhino gets rid of the bugs that harm it.
