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.

An amplifier has a 50 watt output and a 5 watt input. what is the gain in decibels for this amplifier, rounded to the nearest de
Marrrta [24]
Gain in decibels is given by;

Gain db = 10*log (Po/Pi), where Po = Power output, Pin = Power input

Substituting;

Gain in db = 10 * log (50/5) = 10 db

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be decreased in order to decrease the intensity by a factor of 3?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Amplitude is decreased by a factor of \sqrt3 if intensity is decreased by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

Intensity of a sound wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

Therefore, if intensity is I and amplitude is A, then

I=kA^2, where, k is constant of proportionality.

Now, if intensity of sound wave is decreased by a factor of 3. So,

New intensity is, I_{new}=\frac{I}{3}

I_{new}=kA_{new}^2\\\frac{I}{3}=kA_{new}^2

Plug in kA^2 for I. This gives,

\frac{kA^2}{3}=kA_{new}^2\\A_{new}^2=\frac{A^2}{3}\\A_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{A^2}{3}}=\frac{A}{\sqrt{3}}

Therefore, amplitude is decreased by a factor of \sqrt3.
