Answer:

(a) the observed frequency is 200 Hz

(b) the observed frequency is 188 Hz.

Explanation:

speed of the truck, Vs = 27 m/s

frequency of the truck as it approaches, Fs = 185 Hz

(a) Apply Doppler effect to determine the frequency you will hear.

As the truck approaches you, the observed frequency will be higher than the source frequency because of decrease in distance.

F_s = F_o [\frac{V}{V_S + V} ]

Where;

Fo is the observed frequency which is the frequency you will hear.

V is speed of sound in air

F_s = F_o [\frac{V}{V_S + V} ]\\\\185 = F_o [\frac{340}{27 + 340} ]\\\\185 = F_o (0.926)\\\\F_o = \frac{185}{0.926}\\\\F_o = 199.78 \ Hz

F_o = 200 \ Hz

(b) Apply the following formula for a moving observer and a moving source;

F_o = F_s[\frac{V-V_o}{V} ](\frac{V}{V-V_S} )

The observed frequency is negative since you are driving away from the truck and the source frequency is also negative since it is driving towards you.

F_o = F_s[\frac{V-V_o}{V} ](\frac{V}{V-V_S} )\\\\F_o = 185[\frac{340-22}{340} ](\frac{340}{340-27} )\\\\F_o = 185(0.9353)(1.0863)\\\\F_o = 188 \ Hz

Which statement is true?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.

Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.

On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.
