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>

An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field with a magnitude of 2.14 mT. If the speed of the
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

(a) 3.9cm

(b) 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

Explanation:

Since the electron is moving in a circular path, the centripetal acceleration needed to keep it from slipping off is provided by the magnetic force. This force (F), according to Newton's second law of motion is given by,

F = m x a          --------------(i)

Where;

m = mass of the particle

a = acceleration of the mass

The centripetal acceleration is given by;

a = v² / r          [v = linear velocity of particle, r = radius of circular path]

<em>Therefore, equation (i) becomes;</em>

F = m v²/ r             --------------------(ii)

The magnitude of the magnetic force on a moving charge in a magnetic field as stated by Lorentz's law is given by;

F = qvBsinθ          -------------(iii)

Where;

q = charge of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnetic field

θ = angle between the velocity and the magnetic field

<em>Combine equations (ii) and (iii) as follows;</em>

m (v² / r) = qvBsinθ         [divide both side by v]

m v / r = qBsinθ              [make r subject of the formula]

r = (m v) / (qBsinθ)              ---------(iv)

(a) From the question;

v = 1.48 x 10⁷m/s

B = 2.14mT = 2.14 x 10⁻³T

θ = 90°          [since the direction of velocity is perpendicular to magnetic field]

m = mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg

q = charge of electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

r = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 1.48 x 10⁷) / (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 2.14 x 10⁻³ sin 90°)

r = 3.9 x 10⁻²m

r = 3.9cm

Therefore, the radius of the circular path is 3.9cm

(b) The time interval required to complete one revolution is the period (T) of the motion of the electron and it is given by

T = d / v          --------------(*)

Where;

d = distance traveled in the circular path in one complete turn = 2πr

v = velocity of the motion = 1.48 x 10⁷m/s

d = 2 π (3.9 x 10⁻²)            [Take π = 22/7 = 3.142]

d = 2(3.142)(3.9 x 10⁻²) = 0.245m

Substitute the values of d and v into equation (*) as follows;

T = 0.245 / 1.48 x 10⁷

T = 0.166 x 10⁻⁷s

T = 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

Therefore, the time interval is 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

What happens to a day of light that slows down when it hits a new medium at an angle
Anika [276]
Light travels as transverse waves and faster than sound. It can be reflected, refracted and dispersed. Ray diagrams show what happens to light in mirrors and lenses. Eyes and cameras detect light.

Meg walks with a velocity of 0.9 m/s west. She does so while riding on a train that is traveling with a velocity of 2.7 m/s east
Shkiper50 [21]
<span>Velocities are vectors so we can add them!

Let's let +x be East and -x be West.

 -0.9 + 2.7 = 1.8
 
Since our answer is positive that means East so the answer is C.</span>
