Answer:

77.6 Hz

Explanation:

What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 115 km/h and emitting a steady 753 Hz sound from its siren.

The given parameters are:

Observer speed = 115 km/h

Source frequency = 753 Hz

Speed of sound = 342 m/s

First convert km/h to m/s

Observer speed = (115 × 1000) / 3600

Observer speed = 31.94 m/s

The frequency received by the person will be:

F = fv / ( V - v )

Where

F = frequency received by the person

f = siren frequency

V = speed of sound

v = speed of the ambulance

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

F = (753 × 31.94) / ( 342 - 31.94 )

F = 24050.82 / 310.06

F = 77.568 Hz

Therefore, the frequency received by a person is approximately 77.6Hz

Describe two reasons why an alpha particle is less penetrating than a beta or gamma particle.
uysha [10]
Alpha particles travel through the air they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. While they collide with these molecules, they lose some energy until all energy are used up and they are absorbed. These particles can be absorbed by a sheet of paper or by the air. On the other hand, beta particles and gamma particles move faster than the alpha particles and are poor at ionizing atoms or molecules thus it takes more of the material to be able to absorb these particles.

The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?
AlladinOne [14]
The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!
