Unless indicated otherwise, assume the speed of sound in air to be v = 344 m/s. A stationary police car emits a sound of frequen

cy 1200 Hz that bounces off a car on the highway and returns with a frequency of 1250 Hz. The police car is right next to the highway, so the moving car is traveling directly toward or away from it. (a) How fast was the moving car going? Was it moving toward or away from the police car? (b) What frequency would the police car have received if it had been traveling toward the other car at 20.0 m/s?

Answer:

a) The velocity of the car is 7.02 m/s and the car is approaching to the police car as the frequency of the police car is increasing.

b) The frequency is 1404.08 Hz

Explanation:

If the police car is a stationary source, the frequency is:

f_{a} =(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v} )f_{s} (eq. 1)

fs = frequency of police car = 1200 Hz

fa = frequency of moving car as listener

v = speed of sound of air

vc = speed of moving car

If the police car is a stationary observer, the frequency is:

f_{L} =f_{a} (\frac{v}{v-v_{c} } )=(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{c} } )f_{s} (eq. 2)

Now,

fL = frequecy police car receives

fs = frequency police car as observer

a) The velocity of car is from eq. 2:

1250=1200(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{c} } )\\1250(v-v_{c} )=1200(v+v_{c} )\\v_{c} =\frac{50*344}{2450} =7.02m/s

b) Substitute eq. 1 in eq. 2:

f_{L} =(\frac{v+v_{p} }{v-v_{c} } )(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{p} } )f_{s} =(\frac{344+20}{344-7.02} )(\frac{344+7.02}{344-20} )*1200=1404.08Hz

Why freezer is made in the upper part of refrigrator
svp [43]
<h2>Question</h2>

why freezer is made in the upper part of refrigrator

<h2>✒ Answer</h2>

the cold air produced from it is denser than the warmer air in the bottom

<h3>Explaination</h3>

Freezer is normally provided at the top of the refrigerator, because density of the cold air is high compared to the hot air. In a refrigerator the air contacts with the cooling coil and gets cooling.Because of the high density the cold air gets down and the warm air/hot air moves upward and gets cooling from the cooling coil/evaporator coil. This process is repeated. If the Freezer is provided at the bottom place of the refrigerator, the cold air can't to move full area of the refrigerator. So the freezer is normally provided at the top at the refrigerator

What would happen if the earth's core was destroyed?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Our atmosphere would be quickly stripped away, much like what apparently happened on Mars after its molten core cooled and solidified. The spinning Earth core is what helps create our magnetic field, without which means no Van Allen Belts, which mean solar radiation becomes more lethal than just sun burn

Astronomers are getting information about dark energy from
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The only way of telling about dark energy is our observation of how the universe has been expanding. It basically works the opposite as gravity, pushing things away from it. Thus, the closest answer would be D. The shape of galaxies in cluster galaxies.
