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.

What is the momentum of an object that is moving in a straight line at a speed of 10 m/s and has a mass of 10 kilograms?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
The momentum of an object is given by the product between its mass and its velocity:
p=mv
where m is the mass and v the velocity.

For the object in our problem, m=10 kg and v=10 m/s, therefore its momentum is
p=mv=(10 kg)(10 m/s)=100 kg m/s
So, the correct answer is B).

Why are renewable energy resources going to be important in our future
marshall27 [118]
Renewable resources are going to be important in our future because if we use up all of our NON-renewable resources now, then we’ll still have the renewable resources to depend on.
I hope this helped! :-)

17. A volleyball weighs about 300 grams.
atroni [7]

Answer:

PE = 44.1 J

Explanation:

Ok, to have the specific data, the first thing we must do is convert from grams to kilograms. Since mass must always be in kilograms (kg)

We have:

  • 1 kilograms = 1000 grams.

We convert it using a rule of 3, replacing, simplifying units and solving:

  • \boxed{\bold{x=\frac{gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ kg}{1000}=\boxed{\bold{0.3\ kg}}}}

==================================================================

Earth's gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s², so we have:

Data:

  • m = 0.3 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h = 15 m
  • PE = ?

Use formula of potencial energy:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}

Replace and solve:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=0.3\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*15\ m}}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=44.1\ J}}}

Since the decimal number, that is, the number after the comma is less than 5, it cannot be rounded, then we have this result.

The potential energy of the volleyball is <u>44.1 Joules.</u>

Greetings.

Assume that the position vector of A is r=i+j+k . Determine the moment about the origin O if the force F=(1)i+(0)j+(5)k . The mo
ddd [48]

Answer:

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Explanation:

Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e

M₀ = r x F

From the question,

r = i + j + k

F = 1i + 0j +  5k

Therefore,

M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j +  5k)

M₀ = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&1&1\\1&0&5\end{array}\right]

M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)

M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
