You are driving down the road heading north at 15 m/s. An ambulance is driving in the opposite direction (south) towards you at

25 m/s. If the ambulance's siren emits sound at a frequency of 2 kHz, what frequency do you hear? Assume that the speed of sound is 340 m/s. a. 1780 Hz b. 1945 Hz c. 2254 Hz d. 2063 Hz e. 2000 Hz

Answer:

d. 2063 Hz

Explanation:

Given that the source of the sound (the ambulance) is heading towards the observer, we have;

fL= (v ± vL/v ± vS) fS

Where;

v = speed of sound = 340 m/s

vL = velocity of the listener = 15 m/s

vS = velocity of the source = 25 m/s

fS = frequency of source = 2 kHz

Since the source is moving towards the observer we subtract;

Substituting values;

fL = (340 - 15/340 - 25)2 *10^3

fL = 2063Hz

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Photon is also a particle . Hence when two particles like electron and positron annihilate to get completely changed to photons , a minimum of two photons of equal and opposite momentum and energy are produced flying in opposite direction  to conserve momentum and energy . Each photon will have same energy equal to 511 keV . It is so to conserve momentum and energy. Initially total momentum was zero so finally too total momentum should be zero.

Two students designed an experiment to study the effect of solar radiations on four cities of Earth. They used a globe to repres
Furkat [3]
Great experiment !  Everybody should try it if they can get the equipment. 
It demonstrates a lot of things that are very hard to explain in words. 

I hope the students remembered to tilt the axis of the globe.  If they didn't,
and instead kept it straight up and down, then each city had pretty much
the same amount of bulb-light all the way around, and there were no seasons.

If the axis of the globe was tilted, then City-D had the least variation in
seasons.  City-D is only 2° from the equator, so the sun is more direct
there all year around than it is at any of the others.

Statements best explains why a scientific theory can be revised?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: Because new theories can come out that better explain observations and experimental results can replace old theories.

Explanation: Theories more than ten years old are usually out of date. Scientists want to prove that the work of other scientists is wrong. New evidence that supports a change prompts scientists to modify earlier theories.
