Unless indicated otherwise, assume the speed of sound in air to be v = 344 m/s. A stationary police car emits a sound of frequen

bixtya [17]

Answer:

a) The velocity of the car is 7.02 m/s and the car is approaching to the police car as the frequency of the police car is increasing.

b) The frequency is 1404.08 Hz

Explanation:

If the police car is a stationary source, the frequency is:

$f_{a} =(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v} )f_{s}$ (eq. 1)

fs = frequency of police car = 1200 Hz

fa = frequency of moving car as listener

v = speed of sound of air

vc = speed of moving car

If the police car is a stationary observer, the frequency is:

$f_{L} =f_{a} (\frac{v}{v-v_{c} } )=(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{c} } )f_{s}$ (eq. 2)

Now,

fL = frequecy police car receives

fs = frequency police car as observer

a) The velocity of car is from eq. 2:

$1250=1200(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{c} } )\\1250(v-v_{c} )=1200(v+v_{c} )\\v_{c} =\frac{50*344}{2450} =7.02m/s$

b) Substitute eq. 1 in eq. 2:

$f_{L} =(\frac{v+v_{p} }{v-v_{c} } )(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{p} } )f_{s} =(\frac{344+20}{344-7.02} )(\frac{344+7.02}{344-20} )*1200=1404.08Hz$

As an ice cube melts, its molecules

fomenos

Answer:

A. absorb heat energy and move farther apart

Explanation:

The answer is A since when a ice cube takes in heat, it changes form and melts down to a liquid : water.

The molecules in water are farther apart since they are moving around alot but can be contained in a container.

What is the force on a 250 kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8 m/sec2?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Since it is falling freely, the only force on it is its weight, w.

w = m × g = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 2450 Newton/N

Can someone help me wit hthis science question?

klemol [59]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

There is an increasing demand for materials and natural resources from a growing global population, especially those in more economically developed countries. The world's resources are being used up more quickly. The consumption of resources is spread unequally between MEDCs (more economically developed countries), who use more resources, and LEDCs (less economically developed countries), who use less.

The gap between the rich and poor is more evident when the resources are shared so unevenly and unfairly and natural resources like materials and natural energy cannot reach the demand of the people which can have consequences and be very difficult to manage. Having a lack of these materials in a country can result in prices going up for them, and the industry could be harder to work in because of a lack of materials.

Type of energy transformed into chemical energy by plants is called type of energy transformed into chemical energy by plants is

yuradex [85]

I think the correct answer is light energy. It is light energy that is transformed into chemical energy by plants by the process called photosynthesis. In this process, plants take in water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and turn them into glucose and oxygen.
