Answer:

8.6 m/s

Explanation:

The observer is stationary

The source is moving

Let v₀ be the speed of sound in the air

Let v be the speed of the ambulance

As the siren approaches

f₁ = 2000(v₀ / (v₀ - v))

As the siren departs

f₁' = 2000(v₀ / (v₀ + v))

                                                                         f₁ - f₁' = 100  

                     2000(v₀ / (v₀ - v)) - 2000(v₀ / (v₀ + v)) = 100

                                           v₀ / (v₀ - v) -  v₀ / (v₀ + v) = 100/2000

v₀(v₀ + v) / (v₀ - v)(v₀ + v) -  v₀(v₀ - v) / (v₀ - v)(v₀ + v) = 0.05

                              (v₀² + vv₀) -  (v₀² - vv₀) / (v₀² - v²) = 0.05

                                                          2vv₀ / (v₀² - v²) = 0.05

                                                                         2vv₀  = 0.05 (v₀² - v²)

                                           0.05v² + 2vv₀ - 0.05v₀² =  0

                                                         v² + 40vv₀ - v₀² = 0

quadratic formula positive answer

v = (-40v₀ + √((40v₀)² - 4(1)(v₀²))) / 2

v = (-40v₀ + √(1604v₀²)) / 2

v = (0.049968v₀) / 2

v = 0.02498439v₀

If we assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

v = 8.56964... = 8.6  m/s

Approaching frequency heard is 2051 Hz

Departing frequency heard is 1951 Hz

at certain times the demand for electric energy is low and electric energy is used to pump water to a reservoir 45 m above the g

The mass of water that must be raised is 5.25\cdot 10^7 kg

Explanation:

Since the process is 70% efficiency, the power in output to the turbine can be written as

P_{out} = 0.70 P_{in}

where P_{in} is the power in input.

The power in input can be written as

P_{in} = \frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done in lifting the water

t = 3 h = 10,800 s is the time elapsed

The work done in lifting the water is given by

W=mgh

where

m is the mass of water

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 45 m is the height at which the water is lifted

Combining the three equations together, we get:

P_{out} = 0.70 \frac{mgh}{t}

Where

P_{out} = 150 MW = 150\cdot 10^6 W

And solving for m, we find:

m=\frac{Pt}{0.70gh}=\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^6)(10800)}{(0.70)(9.8)(45)}=5.25\cdot 10^7 kg
