Answer:

=319Hz

Explanation:

This question is on sound waves

General formulae;

Frequency of observer= f of source*[ (v of sound+ v of observer)/(v of sound-v of source)]

where f is frequency and v is velocity

Given;

Velocity of sound = 340m/s

frequency of source = 300 Hz

Velocity of observer=0m/s

Velocity of source/truck= 20m/s

Substitute values in the formulae;

Frequency of observer= 300× {(340+0)/(340-20)}

                                       =300×{ 340/320}

                                       =300×340/320

                                       =318.75

                                       =319Hz

How is shooting a shotgun related to newtons third law ? why does a rifle have less “kick” then a shotgun ?
Mazyrski [523]
Newton’s third law is a force is a push or pull that acts upon an object as a result of another object.. A shot gun when fired pulls back when a force (you pulling the trigger) is acted upon it. This is how it relates. A rifle has less kick than a shot gun because the rifle is smaller and has less of a force than a shot gun.

A spring stores potential energy U0 when it is compressed a distance x0 from its uncompressed length.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Hooke's law

Elastic potential energy = 1/2 K x²

K is elastic constant of the spring

x is the extension of the spring

a) The elastic potential energy when the spring is compressed twice as much  Uel = 1/2 k (2x₀) ² =  4 (1/2 kx₀²)= 4 U₀

b) when is compressed half as much Uel = 1/2 k \frac{x0}{4} ^{2} = \frac{1}{4} ( U₀)

c) make x₀ subject of the formula in the equation for elastic potential

      x₀ =\sqrt{\frac{2U0}{K}  }

x, the amount it will compressed to tore twice as much energy = \sqrt{\frac{2 (2U0)}{K} }

x = √2 x₀

d) x₁, the new length it must be compressed to store half as much energy = \sqrt{\frac{2 (\frac{1}{2})U0 }{K} }

x₁ = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2} } x₀
