A Explain why the sound produced by the horn of an approaching car

Physics
1 answer:
aleksklad [387]3 years ago
5 0
When a car approaches you, the sound waves that reach you have a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency. You hear a sound with a higher pitch. When the car moves away from you, the sound waves that reach you have a longer wavelength and lower frequency.

?? ⬇️

An approaching source moves closer during period of the sound wave so the effective wavelength is shortened, giving a higher pitch since the velocity of the wave is unchanged. Similarly the pitch of a receding sound source will be lowered.

The Doppler effect is an effect observed in light and sound waves as they move toward or away from an observer. One simple example of the Doppler effect is the sound of an automobile horn. Picture a person standing on a street corner. A car approaches, blowing its horn.

Comparing two waves of the same wavelength, a higher frequency is associated with faster movement. Comparing two waves of different wavelengths, a higher frequency doesn't always indicate faster movement, although it can. Waves of different wavelengths can have the same frequency.

The pitch of a sound is our ear's response to the frequency of sound. Whereas loudness depends on the energy of the wave. ... The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency while loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of sound waves.

A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 12 rpm. If a constant friction torque of 12.5 Nm i
sammy [17]

Answer:

-0.25 rad/s^2

Explanation:

The equivalent of Newton's second law for rotational motions is:

\tau = I \alpha

where

\tau is the net torque applied to the object

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha is the angular acceleration

In this problem we have:

\tau = -12.5 Nm (net torque, with a negative sign since it is a friction torque, so it acts in the opposite direction as the motion)

I=50.0 kg m^2 is the moment of inertia

Solving for \alpha, we find the angular acceleration:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{-12.5 Nm}{50.0 kg m^2}=-0.25 rad/s^2
