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.

If the radius of an object in circular motion is doubled, what change will occur in the centripetal force?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The centripetal force will be 1/2 as big as it was. (option c)

Explanation:

Recall that centripetal force (F_c) is defined as: F_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{r} where "v" is the tangential velocity of the object in circular motion, "r" is the radius of rotation and "m" is the object's mass.

So if we start with such formula with a given mass, radius, and tangential velocity, and then we move to a situation where everything stays the same except for the radius which doubles, then the new centripetal force (F'_c) will be given by: F'_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{2r}

and this is half (1/2) of the original force:

F'_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{2r}\\F'_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{r}*\frac{1}{2} \\F'_c=F_c\,*\,\frac{1}{2}

which is expressed by option "c" of the provided list.

likoan [24]
If we neglet air resistance for both objects then both will fall parallely(at same time) because time taken by both objects is independent of mass. there is famous experiment i.e"feather coin experiment" . normally we think that heaver objects falls faster but this is wrong concept. it depends on medium in which objects are moving.

Gold has a density of 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. what is the density of gold in metric tons per cubic meter?
valina [46]
In order to determine this, we will first need some conversions. We will need to convert metric tons and grams into one another and also cubic centimeters to cubic meters into one another.

1 metric ton = 1000 kg

1 kg = 1000 grams

1 metric ton = 10⁶ grams

So 10⁶ grams / metric ton


1 meter = 100 cm
1 m³ = (100)³ cm³
1 m³ = 10⁶ cm³

So 10⁶ cm⁶ / m³

Now, we manipulate the given value:

(19.3 grams / cm³) * (1 metric ton / 10⁶ grams) * (10⁶ cm³ / m³)
= 19.3 metric tons / m³

The density of gold is 19.3 metric tons meter meter cubed.
