Answer:

The observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the source, Fs = 400 Hz

speed of the car as it approaches the stationary observer, Vs = 20 m/s

Based on Doppler effect, as the car the approaches the stationary observer, the observed frequency will be higher than the transmitted (source) frequency because of decrease in distance between the car and the observer.

The observed frequency is calculated as;

F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\

where;

F₀ is the observed frequency

v is the speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\400 = F_o [\frac{340}{20 + 340} ] \\\\400 = F_o (0.9444) \\\\F_o = \frac{400}{0.9444} \\\\F_o = 423.55 \ Hz \\

F₀ ≅ 424 Hz.

Therefore, the observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.

Answer:

I tried

Explanation:

You have to check a 12 year olds respiration rate by Siting them down and trying to relax.  It's best to take the respiratory rate while sitting up in a chair or in bed.  Measure their breathing rate by counting the number of times their chest or abdomen rises over the course of one minute.  Then Record this number. Now you have to answer the first few  questions based on that.

Heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature are the big four vital signs.

8.  Secondary assessments are used in order to determine the injury, how the injury occurred, how severe the injury is, and to eliminate further injury and that is why it is important.

9. It should only be performed when a person shows no signs of life or when they are unconscious, unresponsive, not breathing or not breathing normally.  

In order to perform CPR, you need to check the scene and the person. Make sure the scene is safe, then tap the person on the shoulder and shout "Are you OK?" to ensure that the person needs help. Then pen the airway,  Check for breathing,  Push hard, push fast, deliver rescue breaths, continue CPR steps.

A 0.4-kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a 0.8–kg toy car that is traveling in the opposite di
Gemiola [76]

Hey there!

Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.

0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s

–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s


So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.


Hope this helps
