2. A person began running due east and covered 15 kilometers in 2.0 hours. What is the average velocity of the person?
2 answers:
Answer:
7.5 km/h (2.1 m/s) due east
Explanation:
The average velocity of the person is given by:
where
d is the displacement
t is the time taken
In this problem,
d = 15 km is the displacement
t = 2.0 h is the time elapsed
so the average velocity is
and the direction is the same as the displacement (east).
We can also convert the velocity into SI units (m/s). We have:
d = 15 km = 15,000 m
t = 2.0 h * 3600 s/h = 7200 s

Answer:
frequency
Explanation:
The phenomenon of apparent change in frequency due to the relation motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.
So, when we move farther, the frequency of sound decreases. The formula of the Doppler's effect is
where, v is the velocity of sound, vs is the velocity of source and vo is the velocity of observer, f is the true frequency. f' is the apparent frequency.
