We are asked to solve for the frequency heard when a car is coming towards the observer. The car is moving at 16 m/s and the velocity of the sound is 343 m/s where the car horns at 583 Hz. We will use Doppler's Effect formula in calculating the unknown frequency such that the solution is shown below:
Fl = (V + Vl) * Fs / (V - Vs)
FL = (343 + 0)*583 / (343 - 16)
FL = 611. 53 Hertz

The answer for the frequency of the observer is 611.53 hertz.

marusya05 [52]
-- pass the light through a lens
The path of the light is bent (refracted) to a new direction.

-- bounce the light off a shiny surface
The light is sent back (reflected) in the direction from which it arrived.

-- pass the light through a prism
The light is spread out according to the different wavelengths
that may be in it.

-- put something black in the light's path
The light is completely absorbed and is never seen again.

-- turn the light off
The source stops emitting light.

-- throw a towel over the lamp
The light is absorbed in the towel, and not seen outside of it.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Water normally freezes at 0°C (32°F). Salt lowers the freezing temperature. (That is, it can remain a liquid at much lower temperatures.)

When sprinkled on ice, the salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water which effectively melts the ice when the salt dissolves into it. There is a limit to how low it can reduce the temperature, though. If the temperature drops below -9°C (15°F), it's too cold for the salt to dissolve into the ice.

When making ice cream, the salt lowers the temperature of the ice and water sufficiently enough to freeze the cream.
