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 clam of mass 0.12 kg dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 s to hit the ground. [Neglect friction.]
jarptica [38.1K]

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So if there's no air resistance, the speed of a falling object
always increases by 9.8 m/s for every second it falls.

             Speed  =  (original speed) + (gravity  x  falling time)

-- If it has no vertical speed when it started, then at the end
of 3 seconds, its speed is

                         =       (0)            + (9.8 m/s²  x  3 sec)

                       Velocity  =  29.4 m/s downward .

Recessed incandescent luminaires not marked type ic and those marked for installing directly in ___________ must not have insula
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Recessed incandescent luminaires not marked type ic and those marked for installing directly in insulated ceilings must not have insulation over the top of the luminaire.

Explanation:

Depending on how they interact with insulation, lighting fixtures are rated at various levels. Non-IC rated lighting fixtures can accommodate higher wattage bulbs, but they also pose the greatest fire risk when used with the incorrect insulation.

In locations with insulation, light fixtures that are not IC rated may be installed. But there is a condition. The distance between the fixture and any insulation should be 3 inches. But the 3 inch gap in the insulation would negate the goal of insulation by producing a lot of uninsulated space, so this defies logic. Building a box-style cover to cover the fixture on the attic side is one option to fix this. Drywall or foil-faced foam insulation can be used to create this box. After the cover is put in place, insulation can be added for maximum effectiveness.

A stone on ground is zero energy​
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

A stone on the ground does not have zero energy…there is an internal potential in every object. Aldo is not in action or in any mechanical motion it is being acted upon by gravity and also molecular forces and energy.
