Answer:

The  values is  f_b  =14.9 \  beats/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  speed of the fire engine is  v =  5\ m/s

    The frequency of the tone is  f =  500 \ Hz

    The speed of sound in air is v_s  =  340 \ m/s

The  beat frequency is mathematically represented as

     f_b  =  f_a  -  f

Where  f_a is the frequency of sound heard by the people in the fire engine and is is mathematically evaluated as

   f_a  =  [\frac{v_s + v }{v_s  -v} ]* f

substituting values

  f_a  =  [\frac{340 + 5 }{340  -5} ]* 500

  f_a  = 514.9 \  Hz

Thus  

      f_b  =514.9 -  500

      f_b  =14.9 \  beats/s

What are the characteristics and ph level of acids?
12345 [234]

General Characteristics of Acids & Bases. Chemists measure the strength of an acid or base by its pH, which is a term that refers to the "power of hydrogen.". The midpoint of the pH scale is neutral. Compounds with a pH lower than the midpoint value are acidic while those with a higher value are basic or alkaline.

A busy chipmunk runs back and forth along a straight line of acorns that has been set out between his burrow and a nearby tree.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: a = 1.32m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration is 1.32m/s2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in the velocity per time

a = change in velocity/time

a = ∆v/t

average acceleration a = (v2 -v1)/t. ....1

Given;

Final velocity v2 = 1.63m/s

Initial velocity v1 = -1.15ms

time taken t = 2.11s

Substituting into eqn 1

a = [1.63 - (-1.15)]/2.11

a = (1.63+1.15)/2.11

a = 2.78/2.11

a = 1.32m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration is 1.32m/s2
