A stationary horn emits a sound with a frequency of 228 Hz. A car is moving toward the horn on a straight road with constant spe

ed. If the driver of the car hears the horn at a frequency of 246 Hz, then what is the speed of the car? Use 340 m/s for the speed of the sound

Answer: 26.84 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Original frequency of the horn $f_o=228\ Hz$

Apparent frequency $f'=246\ Hz$

Speed of sound is $V=340\ m/s$

Doppler frequency is

$\Rightarrow f'=f_o\left(\dfrac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}\right)$

Where,

$v_o=\text{Velocity of the observer}\\v_s=\text{Velocity of the source}$

Insert values

$\Rightarrow 246=228\left[\dfrac{340+v_o}{340-0}\right]\\\\\Rightarrow 366.84=340+v_o\\\Rightarrow v_o=26.8\ m/s$

Thus, the speed of the car is $26.84\ m/s$

The Surface Pressure at Leh, Ladakh is 800 mb. Now, assuming that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m increase in he

Basile [38]

We have that the sea level pressure for Leh area is 1150mb mathematically given as

Ps= 1150 mb

<h3> Sea level pressure</h3>

Question Parameters:

Ladakh is 800 mb.

<u>assuming </u>that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m

increase in height with respect to sea level corresponds to 10 mb pressure,

Generally, for 3500m the pressure change will be 350 mb.

Therefore, here for the sea level <em>pressure</em> we need to add,

Ps=800+350

Ps= 1150 mb

In the equation vx^2=v0x^2+2ax(x-x0) what does the terms vx, v0x, x, and x0 stand for respectively?

tatuchka [14]

B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position

In the equation

$v_{x}^{2}$ = $v_{ox}^{2}$ +2 a x (x - x₀)

$v_{x}$ = velocity at position "x"

$v_{ox}$ = velocity at position "x = 0 "

x = final position

$x_{o}$ = initial position of the object at the start of the motion

a large sphere is on a horizontal field on a sunny day. at a certain time the shadow reaches out a distance of 10 m from the poi

Mars2501 [29]

The radius of the sphere in meters is ,r = $10\sqrt{5} -20$

Think about the angle the ground and the shadow make. Since the sun's beams are parallel, the angle created by the stick's shadow is also equal. Since the stick is 1 m high and its shadow is 2 m long, we know that the stick's angle is arctan 1/2. Therefore, by thinking of a right-angled triangle,

r/10 = tan [arctan(1/2)] = tan (1/2)

Since, tan (θ/2) = 1-cos(θ) / sin(θ)

we find that,

r/10 = $\sqrt{5} -2$

Hence, r = $10\sqrt{5} -20$

So, the radius of the sphere in meters is ,r = $10\sqrt{5} -20$

Estimate how much solar energy reaches the earth per year (in Joule).

Alexxandr [17]

Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth.

In a year it is very hard to determine because of the night and different light levels.

A 49 kg bear slides, from rest, 11 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 3.3 m/s just before hitting the ground.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

a) $\Delta U_g=-5.3kJ$

b) $K=0.27kJ$

c) $F_f=0.45kN$

Explanation:

the gravitational potential energy is given by:

$U_g=m.g.h\\$

$\Delta U_g=m.g.h_f-m.g.h_i\\\Delta U_g=49kg*9.8m/s^2*(0m-11m)\\\Delta U_g=-5.3kJ$

The kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^2\\$

the initial kinetic energy is zero because the motion started from rest, so:

$K=\frac{1}{2}*49kg*(3.3m/s^2)^2\\K=0.27kJ$

applying the conservation of energy theorem:

$U_g-W_f=K_f\\W_f=-(\Delta K+\Delta U)\\W_F=5.3kJ-0.27kJ\\W_F=-5.0kJ$

The work done by the friction force is given by:

$W_f=F_f.h.cos(\theta)\\$

the angle of the force is 180 degrees because it's against the movement:

$F_f=\frac{W_f}{h.cos(\theta)}\\\\F_f=\frac{-5.0kJ}{11m.cos(180^o)}\\\\F_f=0.45kN$
