Answer:

The frequency of the sound you will hear is 713.85 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

speed of your car, v_s = 85.0 km/h

frequency of the siren, f = 665 Hz

Speed of sound in air, v = 345 m/s

The frequency of the sound you hear, can be calculated as;

f' = f(\frac{v}{v-v_s})

Convert the speed of the car to m/s

85 \ km/h =\frac{85 \ km}{h} (\frac{1000\ m}{1 \ km})(\frac{1 \ h}{3600 \ s} ) = 23.61 \ m/s

f' = f(\frac{v}{v-v_s} )\\\\f' = 665(\frac{345}{345-23.61} )\\\\f' =  665 (1.07346)\\\\f' = 713.85 \ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the sound you will hear is 713.85 Hz

A research submarine has a 30-cm-diameter window that is 8.1 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up
malfutka [58]

The pressure at a certain depth underwater is:

P = ρgh

P = pressure, ρ = sea water density, g = gravitational acceleration near Earth, h = depth

The pressure exerted on the submarine window is:

P = F/A

P = pressure, F = force, A = area

The area of the circular submarine window is:

A = π(d/2)²

A = area, d = diameter

Set the expressions for the pressure equal to each other:

F/A = ρgh

Substitute A:

F/(π(d/2)²) = ρgh

Isolate h:

h = F/(ρgπ(d/2)²)

Given values:

F = 1.1×10⁶N

ρ = 1030kg/m³ (pulled from a Google search)

g = 9.81m/s²

d = 30×10⁻²m

Plug in and solve for h:

h = 1.1×10⁶/(1030(9.81)π(30×10⁻²/2)²)

h = 1540m

Pot holder should have high insulation and low _____.
kipiarov [429]

Potholder should have high insulation and low conductivity, therefore the correct answer is the option B

<h3>What is insulation?</h3>

Insulation is a type of material used to create barriers to the transmission of the form of energy which either is in form of heat or electricity.

For outdoor trips in cold weather, several thin layers act as better insulating barriers for heat transfer.

The ability of an electric charge or heat to pass through a material is measured by its conductivity. A material is considered a conductor if it offers very little resistance to the flow of thermal or electric energy.

Thus, Potholders should be highly insulated and have low conductivity, therefore the correct answer is the option B
