A car horn emits a frequency of 400 Hz. A car traveling at 20.0 m/s sounds the horn as it approaches a stationary pedestrian. Wh
Temka [501]

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.

A small block on a frictionless, horizontal surface has a mass of 0.0250 kg. It is attached to a massless cord passing through a
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) Yes

b) 7 rad/s

c) 0.01034 J

Explanation:

a)

Yes the angular momentum of the block is conserved since the net torque on the block is zero.

b)

m = mass of the block = 0.0250 kg

w₀ = initial angular speed before puling the cord = 1.75 rad/s

r₀ = initial radius before puling the cord = 0.3 m

w = final angular speed after puling the cord = ?

r = final  radius after puling the cord = 0.15 m

Using conservation of angular momentum

m r₀² w₀ = m r² w

r₀² w₀ = r² w

(0.3)² (1.75) = (0.15)² w

w = 7 rad/s

c)

Change in kinetic energy is given as

ΔKE = (0.5) (m r² w² - m r₀² w₀²)

ΔKE = (0.5) ((0.025) (0.15)² (7)² - (0.025) (0.3)² (1.75)²)

ΔKE = 0.01034 J
