The frequency produced by the siren is 631.12 Hz

<h3>Doppler effect</h3>

The variation in frequency when a source of sound moves relative to an observer is determined by the doppler effect.

<h3>Frequency of observer</h3>

So, the frequency of the observer f' = (v ± v')f/(v ± v") where

f' = 590 Hz

f = frequency of source or siren ,

v = speed of sound = 330 m/s,

v' = speed of observer = 0 m/s (since you are stationary) and

v" = speed of source = 23 m/s

Since the source moves away from the detector, the sign in the denominator is positive and v' = 0 m/s

So, f' = (v + 0)f/(v + v")

f' = vf/(v + v")

Since, we require the frequency of the source, make f subject of the formula, we have

<h3>Frequency of siren</h3>

f = (v + v")f'/v

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

f = (v + v")f'/v

f' = (330 m/s + 23 m/s) × 590 Hz/330 m/s

f' = 353 m/s × 590 Hz/330 m/s

f' = 208270 m/sHz/330 m/s

f' = 631.12 Hz

The frequency produced by the siren is 631.12 Hz

Answer:

it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

Explanation:

The configuration of parallel plates is called a capacitor and is widely used to create constant electric fields inside.

To obtain this field it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

This is so that the fields created by each plate can be added inside and subtracted from the outside of the plates

Finger [1]

Kepler derived his three laws of planetary motion entirely from
observations of the planets and their motions in the sky.

Newton published his law of universal gravitation almost a hundred
years later. Using some calculus and some analytic geometry, which
any serious sophomore in an engineering college should be able to do,
it can be shown that IF Newton's law of gravitation is correct, then it MUST
lead to Kepler's laws. Gravity, as Newton described it, must make the planets
in their orbits behave exactly as they do.

This demonstration is a tremendous boost for the work of both Kepler
and Newton.

One string of a certain musical instrument is 70.0 cm long and has a mass of 8.79 g . It is being played in a room where the spe

Svetach [21]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of linear mass density, and the expression of the wavelength with which we can find the frequency of the string. With these values it will be possible to find the voltage value. Later we will apply concepts related to harmonic waves in order to find the fundamental frequency.

The linear mass density is given as,

$\mu = \frac{m}{l}$

$\mu = \frac{8.79*10^{-3}}{70*10^{-2}}$

$\mu = 0.01255kg/m$

The expression for the wavelength of the standing wave for the second overtone is

$\lambda = \frac{2}{3} l$

Replacing we have

$\lambda = \frac{2}{3} (70*10^{-2})$

$\lambda = 0.466m$

The frequency of the sound wave is

$f_s = \frac{v}{\lambda_s}$

$f_s = \frac{344}{0.768}$

$f_s = 448Hz$

Now the velocity of the wave would be

$v = f_s \lambda$

$v = (448)(0.466)$

$v = 208.768m/s$

The expression that relates the velocity of the wave, tension on the string and linear mass density is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

$v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu}$

$T= \mu v^2$

$T = (0.01255kg/m)(208.768m/s)^2$

$T = 547N$

The tension in the string is 547N

PART B) The relation between the fundamental frequency and the $n^{th}$ harmonic frequency is

$f_n = nf_1$

Overtone is the resonant frequency above the fundamental frequency. The second overtone is the second resonant frequency after the fundamental frequency. Therefore

$n=3$

Then,

$f_3 = 3f_1$

Rearranging to find the fundamental frequency

$f_1 = \frac{f_3}{3}$

$f_1 = \frac{448Hz}{3}$

$f_1 = 149.9Hz$
