Answer:

Explanation:
given,
weight of swimmer = 510 N
length of ledge, L = 1.75 m
vertical height of the cliff, h = 9 m
speed of the swimmer = ?
horizontal velocity of the swimmer should be that much it can cross the wedge.
distance = speed x time
d = v_x × t
1.75 = v_x × t ........(1)
now,time taken by the swimmer to cover 9 m
initial vertical velocity of the swimmer is zero.
using equation of motion for time calculation


t² = 1.938
t = 1.39 s
same time will be taken to cover horizontal distance.
now, from equation 1
1.75 = v_x × 1.39

horizontal speed of the swimmer is equal to 1.26 m/s
Answer:
The observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.
Explanation:
Given;
frequency of the source, Fs = 400 Hz
speed of the car as it approaches the stationary observer, Vs = 20 m/s
Based on Doppler effect, as the car the approaches the stationary observer, the observed frequency will be higher than the transmitted (source) frequency because of decrease in distance between the car and the observer.
The observed frequency is calculated as;
![F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_s%20%3D%20F_o%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bv%7D%7Bv_s%20%2B%20v%7D%20%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C)
where;
F₀ is the observed frequency
v is the speed of sound in air = 340 m/s
![F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\400 = F_o [\frac{340}{20 + 340} ] \\\\400 = F_o (0.9444) \\\\F_o = \frac{400}{0.9444} \\\\F_o = 423.55 \ Hz \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_s%20%3D%20F_o%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bv%7D%7Bv_s%20%2B%20v%7D%20%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C400%20%3D%20F_o%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B340%7D%7B20%20%2B%20340%7D%20%5D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C400%20%3D%20F_o%20%280.9444%29%20%5C%5C%5C%5CF_o%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B400%7D%7B0.9444%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5CF_o%20%3D%20423.55%20%5C%20Hz%20%5C%5C)
F₀ ≅ 424 Hz.
Therefore, the observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.
