Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Object A has more mass than object B

For object A to accelerate at the same rate as object B, it will need more force.

According to Newton's second law of motion "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

Net force = mass x acceleration

Now, if a body has more mass and needs to accelerate at the same rate as another one with a lower mass, the force on it must be increased.

Resonance occurs when an object vibrating at or near the resonant frequency of a second object to vibrate. What form of waves ar

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Resonance depends on objects, this may happen for example when you play guitar in a given room, you may find that for some notes the walls or some object vibrate more than for others. This is because those notes are near the frequency of resonance of the walls.

So waves involved are waves that can move or affect objects (in this case the pressure waves of the sound, and the waves that are moving the wall).

this means that the waves are mechanic waves.

Now, in electromagnetics, you also can find resonance frequencies for electromagnetic waves trapped in things called cavities, but this is a different topic.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Magnitude

Explanation:

Each value in nature has a number part, called its magnitude and a dimension called its unit.

For example,

The length of an object is 10 cm. It means that 10 shows the magnitude of length and cm shows its unit.

You are traveling in a car toward a hill at a speed of 36.4 mph. The car's horn emits sound waves of frequency 231 Hz, which mov

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

a. The frequency with which the waves strike the hill is 242.61 Hz

b. The frequency of the reflected sound wave is 254.23 Hz

c. The beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is

11.62 Hz

Explanation:

Part A

The car is the source of our sound, and the frequency of the sound wave it emits is given as 231 Hz. The speed of sound given can be used to determine the other frequencies, as expressed below;

$f_{1} = f[\frac{v_{s} }{v_{s} -v} ]$ ..............................1

where $f_{1}$ is the frequency of the wave as it strikes the hill;

f is the frequency of the produced by the horn of the car = 231 Hz;

$v_{s}$ is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 36.4 mph

Converting the speed of the car from mph to m/s we have ;

hint (1 mile = 1609 m, 1 hr = 3600 secs)

v = $36.4 mph *\frac{1609 m}{1 mile} *\frac{1 hr}{3600 secs}$

v = 16.27 m/s

Substituting into equation 1 we have

$f_{1}$ = $231 Hz (\frac{340 m/s}{340 m/s - 16.27 m/s})$

$f_{1}$ = 242.61 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency which the wave strikes the hill is 242.61 Hz.

Part B

At this point, the hill is the stationary point while the driver is the observer moving towards the hill that is stationary. The frequency of the sound waves reflecting the driver can be obtained using equation 2;

$f_{2} = f_{1} [\frac{v_{s}+v }{v_{s} } ]$

where $f_{2}$ is the frequency of the reflected sound;

$f_{1}$ is the frequency which the wave strikes the hill = 242.61 Hz;

$v_{s}$ is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 16.27 m/s.

Substituting our values into equation 1 we have;

$f_{2} = 242.61 Hz [\frac{340 m/s+16.27 m/s }{340 m/s } ]$

$f_{2}$ = 254.23 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency of the reflected sound is 254.23 Hz.

Part C

The beat frequency is the change in frequency between the frequency of the direct sound and the reflected sound. This can be obtained as follows;

Δf = $f_{2}$ - $f_{1}$

The parameters as specified in Part A and B;

Δf = 254.23 Hz - 242.61 Hz

Δf = 11.62 Hz

Therefore the beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is 11.62 Hz
