An emergency vehicle blowing its siren is moving

Physics

Georgia [21]2 years ago
5 0

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

A lightbulb has a resistance of 195 Ω and carries a current of 0.62 A.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

75

Explanation:

Power is current times voltage:

P = IV

Voltage is current times resistance:

V = IR

Therefore:

P = I²R

Given I = 0.62 A and R = 195 Ω:

P = (0.62 A)² (195 Ω)

P ≈ 75 W

Three 500-g point masses are at the corners of an equilateral triangle with 50-cm sides. What is the moment of inertia of this s
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

0.25 kg m^2

Explanation:

mass of each , m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

distance, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Moment of inertia about the axis passing through one corner and perpendicular to the plane of triangle

I = mr^2 + mr^2

I = 2 mr^2

I = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5

I = 0.25 kgm^2

What type of wave travels faster through solids than it does through gases?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Liquids are more dense than gases, but less dense than solids, so sound travels 2nd fast in liquids. Gases are the slowest because they are the least dense: the molecules in gases are very far apart, compared with solids and liquids.

You ride your skateboard to school and tell all your friends your rode at speed of 25 miles per hour. They know this cannot be t
Gnoma [55]
The correct answer is "The distance between your house and your school, and how long it took you to get there." This is the proper answer choice because mph is miles per hour. Meaning you can travel 25 miles in just one hour. Speed in such form is used for measuring distance, or time. Hope it helped.
