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

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/Sec^{2}

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u=  13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

0^{2} = 13^{2}  + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46

a = -1.47 m/Sec^{2} (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/Sec^{2} (since same friction force is applied)

v^{2} = 29^{2}  - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m
