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.

A NASA explorer spacecraft with a mass of 1,000 kg takes off in a positive direction from a stationary asteroid. If the velocity
Georgia [21]

Answer: 10000 kg

Explanation:

The momentum p is given by the following equation:  

p=m.V (1)  

Where:  

m is the mass of the object  

V is the velocity of the object

Now, in this case and according the conservation of momentum:

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}   (2)  

Where:

m_{1}=1000kg is the mass of the spacecraft

m_{2} is the mass of the asteroid

v_{1}=0 is the initial velocity of the spacecraft

v_{2}=0 is the initial velocity of the asteroid (because we are told the asteroid is stationary, as the spacracft is on the sateroid it remains stationary as well)

u_{1}=250m/s is the final velocity of the spacecraft

u_{2}=-25m/s is the final velocity of the asteroid

Rewritting (2):

0=m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}   (3)  

0=(1000kg)(250m/s)+m_{2}(-25m/s)   (4)  

Finding m_{2}:

m_{2}=10000kg This is the mass of the asteroid
