Answer:

Electromagnetic waves are reflected

Explanation:

Reflection of light (and other forms of electromagnetic radiation) occurs when the waves encounter a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface. ... This concept is often termed the Law of Reflection.

A car horn emits a frequency of 400 Hz. A car traveling at 20.0 m/s sounds the horn as it approaches a stationary pedestrian. Wh

Temka [501]

Answer:

The observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the source, Fs = 400 Hz

speed of the car as it approaches the stationary observer, Vs = 20 m/s

Based on Doppler effect, as the car the approaches the stationary observer, the observed frequency will be higher than the transmitted (source) frequency because of decrease in distance between the car and the observer.

The observed frequency is calculated as;

$F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\$

where;

F₀ is the observed frequency

v is the speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

$F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\400 = F_o [\frac{340}{20 + 340} ] \\\\400 = F_o (0.9444) \\\\F_o = \frac{400}{0.9444} \\\\F_o = 423.55 \ Hz \\$

F₀ ≅ 424 Hz.

Therefore, the observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.

A launched hopper reach to 1.20 m maximum height. How much is it’s launch velocity?

garri49 [273]

The launch velocity is 4.8 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the mechanical energy of the hopper (equal to the sum of the potential energy + the kinetic energy) is conserved. So we can write:

$U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f$
