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>

In a particle accelerator a positron (C= +1.6 x 10-19) travels through a perpendicular magnet field with a magnitude of 3.1 x 10-2 T. At what speed must the positron travel in order for it to experience a force of 4.75 x 10-14 N? 28. An alpha particle (2 protons and 2 neutrons) experiences a downward force of 2.9 x 10-14 N while traveling in a magnetic field with a strength of 5.1 x 10-19 T pointing to the north. Find the speed of the particle and the direction it must be traveling in. 29.

Each blade of a fan has a radius of 11 inches. If the fan’s rate of turn is 1440o /sec, find the following. (a) The angular spee
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a) 24.43 radians per second

b) 268.73 inches per second

Explanation:

a) The angular speed of the fan on Celsius degrees/second is 1400, so we should convert that value to radians using the fact that 2π rad = 360 °C:

\omega = 1400\frac{C}{s}=1400\frac{C}{s}*\frac{2\pi\,rad}{360\,C}

\omega = 1400\frac{C}{s}=24.43\frac{rad}{s}

b) Linear speed on a point of the blade is related with angular speed of the fan by the equation

v=\omega r

with v linear speed, ω angular speed and r the radius of the blades. So:

v=(24.43\frac{rad}{s})(11 in)

Radians isn't really a unity; it is dimensionless so we can put it or not. So:

v=268.73\frac{in}{s}

What happens to the electrostatic force between two charged particles if the distance between them is doubled?
Stells [14]

According to Coulomb's Law , The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. So ,if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the  electrostatic force will become weak by one fourth of the original force.
