Tina is driving her sports car down US1, traveling 27m/s. She sees her friend Rita up ahead, waiting to cross the street at the

next intersection. Tina quickly slams down on the horn. If the horn has a frequency of 400Hz, which of the following is the only possible frequency heard by Rita, as Tina drives toward Rita?400Hz, 434Hz or 371Hz

Answer:

434 Hz

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect, when a source of a wave is moving towards an observer at rest, then the observer will observe an apparent frequency which is higher than the original frequency of the source.

In this situation, Tina is driving towards Rita. Tina is the source of the sound wave (the horn), while RIta is the observer. Since the original frequency of the sound is 400 Hz, Rita will hear a sound with a frequency higher than this value.

The only choice which is higher than 400 Hz is 434 Hz, so this is the frequency that Rita will hear.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

v₂ = 306.12 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the volume flow rate of the water or any in-compressible liquid remains constant throughout motion. Therefore, from continuity equation, we know that:

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where,

A₁ = Area of entrance pipe = πd₁²/4 = π(0.016 m)²/4 = 0.0002 m²

v₁ = entrance velocity = 3 m/s

A₂ = Area of nozzle = πd₂²/4 = π(0.005 m)²/4 = 0.0000196 m²

v₂ = exit velocity = ?

Therefore,

(0.0002 m²)(3 m/s) = (0.0000196 m²)v₂

v₂ = (0.006 m³/s)/(0.0000196 m²)

<u>v₂ = 306.12 m/s</u>

The aircraft wing from problem 6 experiences temperature extremes that span 210 degrees Celsius. The component for the wing will
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

α = 2,857 10⁻⁵ ºC⁻¹

Explanation:

The thermal expansion of materials is described by the expression

          ΔL = α Lo ΔT

          α = \frac{\Delta L}{L_o \ \Delta T}

in the case of the bar the expansion is

         ΔL = L_f - L₀

         ΔL=   1.002 -1

         ΔL = 0.002 m

the temperature variation is

         ΔT = 100 - 30

         ΔT = 70º C

we calculate

         α = 0.002 / 1 70

         α = 2,857 10⁻⁵ ºC⁻¹
