Answer: The frequency heard will be f = 275.675Hz

Explanation: When an object emitting sound is moving, it occurs a phenomenon called Doppler shift or Doppler effect. What happens is that the sound gets higher when the moving object comes closer the observer and becomes lower after it passes, This change is due to the quantity of waves that passes through an area in an unit of time.

The formula to calculate the Doppler effect is as follows

f = (\frac{c}{c+Vs}) · f₀

f is the observed frequency;

c is the speed of sound;

Vs is velocity of the source;

f₀ is the emitted frequency of source;

Substituting and calculating,

f = \frac{340}{340+30} · 300

f = 275.675 Hz

Thus, the frequency heard by the police officer is 275.675Hz.

How much time will it take for a truck to travel 20 meters if it is traveling at 4 m/s?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 5 s</h2>

Explanation:

The time taken can be found by using the formula

t =  \frac{d}{v}  \\

d is the distance

v is the velocity

From the question we have

t =  \frac{20}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>5 s</h3>

Hope this helps you

A ball is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the wa
vovangra [49]

Answer:

a) 48.5 ft/s

b) 36.5 ft

c) -80.3 ft/s

Explanation:

a)

The equation of motion of the ball is :

y(t) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * t^2 + Vo*t

Where Vo is the initial velocity

If y(5s) = - 160 ft:

-160 ft = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (5 s)^2 + Vo*(5s)

Solving for Vo

Vo  = (16.1*25- 160) ft / 5s = 48.5 ft/s

b)

To answer this question we must first know when the velocity became zero, at this time is when the ball was at its highest point.

v(t) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * t + Vo

t = Vo/32.2ft/s^2 = 1.5 s

And now, the highest point which the ball reached is given by:

y(1.5s) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (1.5)^2 + Vo*(1.5s)

y(1.5s) = 36.52 ft

c)

We now need the time at which y(t') = -64 ft

-64 = -16.1*t'^2 + 48.5*t'

By means of the quadratic formula, we find that

t' = 4.00498 s ≈ 4 s

And the velocity at t = 4s is:

v(4s) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * 4s +48.5 ft/s = -80.3 ft/s
