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>

A car battery with a 12 V emf and an internal resistance of 0.11 Ω is being charged with a current of 56 A. What are (a) the pot
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Part a)

V = 18.16 V

Part b)

P_r = 345 Watt

Part c)

P = 672 Watt

Part d)

V = 5.84 V

Part e)

P_r = 345 Watt

Explanation:

Part a)

When battery is in charging mode

then the potential difference at the terminal of the cell is more than its EMF and it is given as

\Delta V = E + i r

here we have

E = 12 V

i = 56 A

r = 0.11

now we have

\Delta V = 12 + (0.11)(56) = 18.16 V

Part b)

Rate of energy dissipation inside the battery is the energy across internal resistance

so it is given as

P_r = i^2 r

P_r = 56^2 (0.11)

P_r = 345 W

Part c)

Rate of energy conversion into EMF is given as

P_{emf} = i E

P_{emf} = (56)(12)

P_{emf} = 672 Watt

Now battery is giving current to other circuit so now it is discharging

now we have

Part d)

V = E - i r

V = 12 - (56)(0.11)

V = 12 - 6.16 = 5.84 V

Part e)

now the rate of energy dissipation is given as

P_r = i^2 r

P_r = 56^2 (0.11)

P_r = 345 W

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

All the displacement will be converted into vector, considering east as x axis and north as y axis.

5.3 km north

D = 5.3 j

8.3 km at 50 degree north of east

D₁= 8.3 cos 50 i + 8.3 sin 50 j.

= 5.33 i + 6.36 j

Let D₂ be the displacement which when added to D₁ gives the required displacement D

D₁ + D₂ = D

5.33 i + 6.36 j + D₂ = 5.3 j

D₂ = 5.3 j - 5.33i - 6.36j

= - 5.33i - 1.06 j

magnitude of D₂

D₂²= 5.33² + 1.06²

D₂ = 5.43 km

Angle θ

Tanθ = 1.06 / 5.33

= 0.1988

θ =11.25 ° south of due west.

Which is more reliable—using a manual stop watch or using light gates?<br> Explain.
Kitty [74]
Light gates are more reliable. When using a manual stop watch, it is difficult to stop it at an exact time. A light gate is able to detect when an object passes through a 'gate' with the infrared transmitter and receiver.
