A police car is traveling due east at a speed of 15.0 m/s relative to the earth. You are in a convertible following behind the p

olice car. Your car is also moving due east at 15.0 m/s relative to the earth, so the speed of the police car relative to you is zero. The siren of the police car is emitting sound of frequency 500 Hz. The speed of sound in the still air is 340 m/s.
a.) What is the speed of the sound waves relative to you?
b.) What is the wavelength of the sound waves at your location?
c.) What frequency do you detect?

Answer:

A.) 355 m/s

B.) 0.71 m

C.) 500Hz

Explanation:

Given that a police car is traveling due east at a speed of 15.0 m/s relative to the earth. You are in a convertible following behind the police car. Your car is also moving due east at 15.0 m/s relative to the earth, so the speed of the police car relative to you is zero. The siren of the police car is emitting sound of frequency 500 Hz. The speed of sound in the still air is 340 m/s

a.) What is the speed of the sound waves relative to you?

Since the car is moving away from the observer, the relative velocity will be:

Relative velocity = 340 + 15

Relative velocity = 355 m/s

b.) What is the wavelength of the sound waves at your location?

Using the wave speed formula

V = frequency × wavelength

Make wavelength the subject of formula.

Wavelength = Velocity / frequency

Wavelength = 355/500

Wavelength = 0.71 m

c.) What frequency do you detect?

Fo = Fs ( C + V ) / ( C + v )

Fo = Fs

That is, the frequency of the observer will be equal to the frequency of the source.

Therefore, Fo = 500Hz

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Vmax=11.53 m/s

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

      E_A} =E_{B}

     Spring potential energy =potential energy due to elevation

   0.5*k*x²= mg(h_{B}-h_{A} )=mgh

   0.5*k*2.3²= 430*9.81*6

         k=9568.92 N/m

For safety reason

                                 k"=1.13 *k= 1.13*9568.92

                                    k"=10812.88 N/m

agsin from conservation of energy

      E_A} =E_{C}

    spring potential energy=change in kinetic energy

   0.5*k"*x²=0.5*m*V_{max}^{2}

      10812.88 *2.3²=430*V_{max}^{2}

           V_{max}=11.53 m/s

Interactive Solution 6.39 presents a model for solving this problem. A slingshot fires a pebble from the top of a building at a
mariarad [96]

(a) 29.8 m/s

To solve this problem, we start by analyze the vertical motion first. This is a free fall motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:

v_y^2 - u_y^2 = 2as

where, taking upward as positive direction:

v_y is the final vertical velocity

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the pebble is launched horizontally)

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

s = -25.0 m is the displacement

Solving for vy,

v_y = \sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(-9.8)(-25)}=-22.1 m/s (downward, so we take the negative solution)

The pebble also have a horizontal component of the velocity, which remains constant during the whole motion, so it is

v_x = 20.0 m/s

So, the final speed of the pebble as it strikes the ground is

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{20.0^2+(-22.1)^2}=29.8 m/s

(b) 29.8 m/s

In this case, the pebble is launched straight up, so its initial vertical velocity is

u_y = 20.0 m/s

So we can find the final vertical velocity using the same suvat equation as before:

v_y^2 - u_y^2 = 2as

v_y = \sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{(20.0)^2+2(-9.8)(-25)}=-29.8 m/s (downward, so we take the negative solution)

The horizontal speed instead is zero, since the pebble is initially launched vertically, so the final speed is just equal to the magnitude of the vertical velocity:

v = 29.8 m/s

(c) 29.8 m/s

This case is similarly to the previous one: the only difference here is that the pebble is launched straight down instead than up, therefore

u_y = -20.0 m/s

Using again the same suvat equation:

v_y^2 - u_y^2 = 2as

v_y = \sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{(-20.0)^2+2(-9.8)(-25)}=-29.8 m/s (downward, so we take the negative solution)

As before, the horizontal speed instead is zero, since the pebble is initially launched vertically, so the final speed is just equal to the magnitude of the vertical velocity:

v = 29.8 m/s

We notice that the final value of the speed is always the same in all the three parts, so it does not depend on the direction of launching. This is due to the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the initial mechanical energy of the pebble (kinetic+potential) is the same in all three cases (because the height h does not change, and the speed v does not change either), and the kinetic energy gained during the fall is also the same (since the pebble falls the same distance in all 3 cases), therefore the final speed must also be the same.
