A Explain why the sound produced by the horn of an approaching car
aleksklad [387]
When a car approaches you, the sound waves that reach you have a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency. You hear a sound with a higher pitch. When the car moves away from you, the sound waves that reach you have a longer wavelength and lower frequency.

?? ⬇️

An approaching source moves closer during period of the sound wave so the effective wavelength is shortened, giving a higher pitch since the velocity of the wave is unchanged. Similarly the pitch of a receding sound source will be lowered.

The Doppler effect is an effect observed in light and sound waves as they move toward or away from an observer. One simple example of the Doppler effect is the sound of an automobile horn. Picture a person standing on a street corner. A car approaches, blowing its horn.

Comparing two waves of the same wavelength, a higher frequency is associated with faster movement. Comparing two waves of different wavelengths, a higher frequency doesn't always indicate faster movement, although it can. Waves of different wavelengths can have the same frequency.

The pitch of a sound is our ear's response to the frequency of sound. Whereas loudness depends on the energy of the wave. ... The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency while loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of sound waves.

A closed system’s internal energy changes by 178 J as a result of being heated with 658 J of energy. The energy used to do work
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

480J

Explanation:

Using the formula:

Delta U = Q - W

Q:Heat (J)

Delta U: Changes in internal Energy (J)

W:Work (J)

We can plug in the give numbers, Q and W.

Delta U = 658J - 178J = 480J

Arigid body must rotate about an axis in order for it to have angular momentum about that axis. True False
kompoz [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let's consider the definition of the angular momentum,

\vec{L} = I \vec{\omega}

where I = \int\limits_m r^2 dm = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n m_i r_i^2 is the moment of inertia for a rigid body. Now, this moment of inertia could change if we change the axis of rotation, because "r" is defined as the distance between the puntual mass and the nearest point on the axis of rotation, but still it's going to have some value. On the other hand,

\vec{\omega} = \frac{\vec{r} \times \vec{v}}{r^2} so \vec{\omega} \neq 0 unless \vec{r} ║  \vec{v}.

In conclusion, a rigid body could rotate about certain axis, generating an angular momentum, but if you choose another axis, there could be some parts of the rigid body rotating around the new axis, especially if there is a projection of the old axis in the new one.

X = v xo t. x = (10.0 m/s)(3.53 s) x = ????
LenaWriter [7]

x = V<em>x</em> * t

given V<em>x</em> = 10m/s n t = 3.53s

x = 10 * 3.53

= 35.3m

Two asteroids identical to those above collide at right angles and stick together; i.e, their initial velocities were perpendicu
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

velocity = 62.89 m/s  in 58 degree measured from the x-axis

Explanation:

Relevant information:

Before the collision, asteroid A of mass 1,000 kg moved at 100 m/s, and asteroid B of mass 2,000 kg moved at 80 m/s.

Two asteroids moving with velocities collide at right angles and stick together. Asteroid A initially moving to right direction and asteroid B initially move in the upward direction.

Before collision Momentum of A = 1000 x 100 = $ 10^5$ kg - m/s in the right direction.

Before collision Momentum of B = 2000 x 80 = 1.6 x $ 10^5$  kg - m/s in upward direction.

Mass of System of after collision = 1000 + 2000 = 3000 kg

Now applying the Momentum Conservation, we get

Initial momentum in right direction = final momentum in right direction = $ 10^5$

And, Initial momentum in upward direction = Final momentum in upward direction = 1.6 x $ 10^5$

So, $ V_x = \frac{10^5}{3000} $  = $ \frac{100}{3} $  m/s

and $ V_y=\frac{160}{3}$  m/s

Therefore, velocity is = $ \sqrt{V_x^2 + V_y^2} $

                                   = $ \sqrt{(\frac{100}{3})^2 + (\frac{160}{3})^2} $

                                   = 62.89 m/s

And direction is

tan θ = $ \frac{V_y}{V_x}$     = 1.6

therefore, $ \theta = \tan^{-1}1.6 $

                   = $ 58 ^{\circ}$  from x-axis
