PLEASE HELP

You are traveling in a car toward a hill at a speed of 36.4 mph. The car's horn emits sound waves of frequency 231 Hz, which mov

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

a. The frequency with which the waves strike the hill is 242.61 Hz

b. The frequency of the reflected sound wave is 254.23 Hz

c. The beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is

11.62 Hz

Explanation:

Part A

The car is the source of our sound, and the frequency of the sound wave it emits is given as 231 Hz. The speed of sound given can be used to determine the other frequencies, as expressed below;

$f_{1} = f[\frac{v_{s} }{v_{s} -v} ]$ ..............................1

where $f_{1}$ is the frequency of the wave as it strikes the hill;

f is the frequency of the produced by the horn of the car = 231 Hz;

$v_{s}$ is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 36.4 mph

Converting the speed of the car from mph to m/s we have ;

hint (1 mile = 1609 m, 1 hr = 3600 secs)

v = $36.4 mph *\frac{1609 m}{1 mile} *\frac{1 hr}{3600 secs}$

v = 16.27 m/s

Substituting into equation 1 we have

$f_{1}$ = $231 Hz (\frac{340 m/s}{340 m/s - 16.27 m/s})$

$f_{1}$ = 242.61 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency which the wave strikes the hill is 242.61 Hz.

Part B

At this point, the hill is the stationary point while the driver is the observer moving towards the hill that is stationary. The frequency of the sound waves reflecting the driver can be obtained using equation 2;

$f_{2} = f_{1} [\frac{v_{s}+v }{v_{s} } ]$

where $f_{2}$ is the frequency of the reflected sound;

$f_{1}$ is the frequency which the wave strikes the hill = 242.61 Hz;

$v_{s}$ is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 16.27 m/s.

Substituting our values into equation 1 we have;

$f_{2} = 242.61 Hz [\frac{340 m/s+16.27 m/s }{340 m/s } ]$

$f_{2}$ = 254.23 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency of the reflected sound is 254.23 Hz.

Part C

The beat frequency is the change in frequency between the frequency of the direct sound and the reflected sound. This can be obtained as follows;

Δf = $f_{2}$ - $f_{1}$

The parameters as specified in Part A and B;

Δf = 254.23 Hz - 242.61 Hz

Δf = 11.62 Hz

Therefore the beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is 11.62 Hz

What is the photosynthes?

Westkost [7]

It is the process in which green plants make their food through a green pigment known as Chlorophyll by using sunlight, Carbon-dioxide and water. The result comes out with the formation of Oxygen as a byproduct. But in night they also respire like animals and photosynthesis does not occur. Photo means light and synthesis means manufacture.

AnnyKZ [126]

The statement that can be used to answer this question is:

"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."

The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.

jonny [76]

Answer:

1.) Covering the ceiling and walls with soft perforated boards

2.) Hanging curtains round the hall

3.) Having more opening in the wall.

Explanation:

This is due to what we called Reverberation due to poor acoustic properties.

Reverberation can be reduced by;

1.) Covering the ceiling and walls with soft perforated boards

2.) Hanging curtains round the hall

3.) Having more opening in the wall.
