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

How many electrons does a neutral atom of sudium-25 have
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Option A. 11

Explanation:

The atomic number of an element does not change.

Recall:

Atomic number = proton number

If the atom is neutral, then,

Proton number = electron number

Since the element is sodium, then, the atomic number of sodium–25 is 11.

Also, we were told to obtain the electrons of a neutral atom of sodium–25

Therefore,

Atomic number = proton number = 11

Since the atom is neutral,

Proton number = electron number = 11

The kinetic energy of a baseball that with a mass of 0.140kg is 7 J. What is the baseballs velocity?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy= \frac{1}{2}mv² where m is mass and v is velocity.

We have to make v the subject so we should rearrange the equation

K=\frac{1}{2}mv²

v²= \frac{K}{0.5*m} (use algebra)

v²= 7/0.5×0.140

v²=100

v=√100

v=10 m/s

We can confirm this by using the kinetic energy formula.

K=\frac{1}{2}×0.140×10²

K= 7 J

Hence it is proved that velocity is 10 m/s

The nearly circular path that earth takes around the sun is called
Sati [7]
It is called an "orbit". Repeating and regular path that one object in space takes around in another one. This object ca be satellite or natural satellite like our moon. Planets, comets, asteroids and other objects in the solar system orbit the sun. Orbits come in different forms or shapes. All orbit are elliptical which means they are ellipse, similar to oval.

A certain refrigerator has a COP of 5.00. When the refrigerator is running, its power input is 500 W. A sample of water of mass
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

t=20s

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must apply the first law of thermodynamics, which indicates that the energy that enters a system is the same that must come out, resulting in the following equation

For this problem we will assume that the water is in a liquid state, since it is a domestic refrigerator

q=m.cp.(T2-T1)

q=heat

m=mass of water =600g=0.6Kg

cp=

specific heat of water=4186J/kgK

T2=temperature in state  2=20°C

T1=temperature in state 1=0°C

solving:

q=(0.6)(4186)(20-0)=50232J

A refrigerator is a device that allows heat to be removed to an enclosure (Qin), by means of the input of an electrical energy (W) and the heat output (Qout), the coefficient of performance COP, allows to know the ratio between the heat removed ( Qin) and the added electrical power (W), the equation for the COP is

COP=\frac{Qin}{Win}

To solve this exercise we must know the value of the heat removed to the water (Qin)

solving for Qin

Qin=(COP)(Win)

Qin=(5)(500W)=2500W

finally we remember that the definition of power is the ratio of work over time

w=work

p=power=500w

P=\frac{W}{t} \\t=\frac{W}{P} \\t=\frac{50232}{2500} \\t=20.09s
