Answer:

The correct choice is

A) the sound waves were pushed closer together.

Explanation:

As the ambulance gets closer, the distance between the ambulance and marge decreases and so does the wavelength of the siren observed by marge. As the wavelength decrease and speed remains the same for the siren, the frequency of the siren increases because wavelength, frequency and speed are related as

Frequency = Speed/wavelength

Clearly, the frequency is inversely related to wavelength.

A man jogs at a speed of 1.6 m/s. His dog waits 1.8 s and then takes off running at a speed of 3 m/s to catch the man. How far w

inessss [21]

Answer:

The dog catches up with the man 6.1714m later.

Explanation:

The first thing to take into account is the speed formula. It is $v=\frac{d}{t}$ , where v is speed, d is distance and t is time. From this formula, we can get the distance formula by finding d, it is $d=v\cdot t$

Now, the distance equation for the man would be:

$d_{man}=v_{man}\cdot t=1.6\cdot t$

The distance equation for the dog would be obtained by the same way with just a little detail. The dog takes off running 1.8s after the man did. So, in the equation we must subtract 1.8 from t.

$d_{dog}=v_{dog}\cdot (t-1.8)=3\cdot (t-1.8)$

For a better understanding, at t=1.8 the dog must be in d=0. Let's verify:

$d_{dog}=v_{dog}\cdot (1.8-1.8)=3\cdot (0)=0$

Now, for finding how far they have each traveled when the dog catches up with the man we must match the equations of each one.

$d_{man}=d_{dog}$

$1.6\cdot t=3\cdot (t-1.8)$

$1.6\cdot t=3\cdot t-5.4$

$1.4\cdot t=5.4$

$t=\frac{5.4}{1.4}$

$t=3.8571s$

The result obtained previously means that the dog catches up with the man 3.8571s after the man started running.

That value is used in the man's distance equation.

$d_{man}=1.6\cdot t=1.6\cdot (3.8571)$

$d_{man}=6.1714m$

Finally, the dog catches up with the man 6.1714m later.

A 70 kg driver gets into an empty taptap to start the day's work. The springs compress 2.3×10−2 m . What is the effective spring

ANEK [815]

Answer:

29856.521 N/m

Explanation:

$m=Mass\ of\ diver=70\ kg\\x=Length\ compressed\ by\ spring=2.3\times 10^{-2}\ m\\a=Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity=9.81\ m/s^2\\F=Force\ exerted\ by\ diver=m\times a\\\Rightarrow F=70\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=686.7\ N\\k=spring\ constant\\F=k\times x\\\Rightarrow k=\frac {F}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac {686.7}{2.3\times 10^{-2}}\\\therefore k=29856.521\ N/m$

On which date is the gravitational force between Earth and the moon the greatest?

Genrish500 [490]

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.

Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.

But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.
