Observer Frequency = sound frequency x ( speed of sound / speed of sound - speed of car)

= 250 x (340/( 340-15))

= 261.54 Hz

A 5 kg fish swimming at 1 m/s swallows an absentminded 500 g fish swimming toward it at a velocity that brings both fish to a ha

AlexFokin [52]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. Momentum is defined as the product between mass and velocity of each body. And its conservation as the equality between the initial and final momentum. Mathematically described as

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f$

Here

$m_1$ = Mass of big fish

$m_2$ = Mass of small fish

$v_1$ = Velocity of big fish

$v_2$ = Velocity of small fish

$v_F$ = Final Velocity

The big fish eats small fish and the final velocity is zero. Rearrange the equation for the initial velocity of small fish we have

$m_1u_1=-m_2u_2$

$u_2 = -\frac{m_1u_1}{m_2}$

Replacing we have,

$u_2 = -\frac{(5kg)(1m/s)}{0.5kg}$

$u_2 = -10m/s$

The negative sign indicates that the small fish is swimming in the direction opposite to that of the big fish.

Therefore the speed of the small fish is 10m/s

Influenced by the gravitational pull of a distant star, the velocity of an asteroid changes from from +19.3 km/s to −18.8 km/s o

muminat

As per above given data

initial velocity = 19.3 km/s

final velocity = - 18.8 km/s

now in order to find the change in velocity

$\Delta v = v_f - v_i$

$\Delta v = -18.8 - 19.3$

$\Delta v = -38.1 km/s$

$\Delta v = -3.81 * 10^4 m/s$

Part b)

Now we need to find acceleration

acceleration is given by formula

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

given that

$\Delta v =- 3.81 * 10^4 m/s$

$\Delta t = 2.07 years = 6.53 * 10^7 s$

now the acceleration is given as

$a = \frac{-3.81 * 10^4}{6.53 * 10^7}$

$a = - 5.84 * 10^{-4}m/s^2$

so above is the acceleration

A bicycle takes 8.0 seconds to accelerate at a constant rate from rest to a speed of 4.0 m/s. If the mass of the bicycle and rid

Inessa05 [86]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
Acceleration = (4 m/s) / (8 seconds)
Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Force = (85 kg) x (0.5 m/s²)
Force = 42.5 Newtons
