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

A square wave has amplitude 0 V for the low voltage and 4 V for the high voltage. Calculate the average voltage by integrating o
Margarita [4]

Answer:

V_{average} = \frac{1}{2}  V_o  ,     V_{average} = 2 V

Explanation:

he average or effective voltage of a wave is the value of the wave in a period

            V_average = ∫ V dt

in this case the given volage is a square wave that can be described by the function

           V (t) = \left \{ {{V=V_o \ \ \  t<  \tau /2} \atop {V=0 \ \  \ \  t> \tau /2 }   } \right.

to substitute in the equation let us separate the into two pairs

             V_average = \int\limits^{1/2}_0 {V_o} \, dt + \int\limits^1_{1/2} {0} \, dt

             V_average = V_o \ \int\limits^{1/2}_0 {} \, dt

             V_{average} = \frac{1}{2}  V_o

we evaluate  V₀ = 4 V

             V_{average} = 4 / 2)

             V_{average} = 2 V

the threshold of hearing is defined as the minimum discernible intensity of the sound. it is approximately 10−12w/m2 . find the
vivado [14]

The distance is 97720.5 m

From the question, we have

P = 0.06 W × 2 = 0.12 W

d = ?

Sound intensity, I = P/4πd²

I = 10⁻¹² W/m²

10⁻¹² = 0.12/4πd²

d = 97720.5 m

The distance is 97720.5 m

Sound intensity :

The power carried by sound waves per unit area in the direction  perpendicular to that region is known as sound intensity or acoustic intensity. The watt per square meter (W/m2) is the SI unit of intensity, which also covers sound intensity. Sound intensity is a measure of how quickly energy moves across a given space. The unit area in the SI measurement system is 1 m2. So Watts per square meter are used to measure sound intensity. As there will be energy flow in certain directions but not in others, sound intensity also provides a measure of direction.

Why is it not advisable to touch a canvas tent from inside when it is raining?​
Sauron [17]

Answer: When you touch wet canvas, surface tension will draw water to your finger. However, the drop left behind where you touched, like any irregular point on an overhead surface, will draw condensation from inside the tent if it is humid.

How heavy is an object that displaces 400N of water in a pool?
julia-pushkina [17]
All we can say is that the object's volume is about 41 liters. That's the same as the volume of water displaced.

We can't say anything about the object's weight. There is no direct connection between the weight of the object and the weight of the water it displaces.
