How fast, in meters per second, does an observer need to approach a stationary sound source in order to observe a 1.6 % increase

in the emitted frequency?
Physics

Answer:

The value is  v_o =  5.488 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The emitted frequency increased by \Delta f =  1.6 \% = 0.016 \

Let assume that the initial value of the emitted frequency is

      f =   100\%  =  1

Hence new frequency will be  f_n  =  1 +  0.016 = 1.016

Generally from Doppler shift equation we have that

         f_1 =  [\frac{ v \pm v_o}{v \pm + v_s } ] f

Here v  is the speed of sound with value  v =  343 \ m/s

         v_s is the velocity of the sound source which is v_s = 0 \ m/s because it started from rest

         v_o  is the observer velocity So

Generally given that the observer id moving towards the source, the Doppler frequency becomes

                   f_1 =  [\frac{ v + v_o}{v + 0 } ] f

=>                1.016  =  [\frac{ 343  + v_o}{343 } ] * 1  

=>                v_o =  5.488 \  m/s

A net force of 345 N accelerates a boy on a sled at 3.2 m/s^2 . What is combined mass of the sled
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Mass, m = 26.54kg

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Where;

  • Fnet is the net force
  • Fapp is the applied force
  • Fg is the force due to gravitation

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Net force, Fnet = 345

Acceleration, a = 3.2m/s²

<u>To find mass;</u>

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Fnet = ma + mg

Fnet = m(a+g)

m = Fnet/(a+g)

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8m/s²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

m = 345/(3.2 + 9.8)

m = 345/13

Mass, m = 26.54kg

What can be defined as the rate at which velocity changes
taurus [48]

Answer:

acceleration

Explanation:

The rate at which velocity changes is the definition of the physical quantity called acceleration, and it is given by the formula: a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}

where \Delta t is the time that took to change from the initial velocity v_i to the final velocity v_f
