A motorcycle and a police car are moving toward one another. The police car emits sound with a frequency of 523 Hz and has a spe

Firdavs [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Dopler's Law. Dopler describes the change in frequency of a wave in relation to that of an observer who is in motion relative to the Source of the Wave.

It can be described as

$f = \frac{c\pm v_r}{c\pm v_s}f_0$

c = Propagation speed of waves in the medium

$v_r$ = Speed of the receiver relative to the medium

$v_s$ = Speed of the source relative to the medium

$f_0 =$ Frequency emited by the source

The sign depends on whether the receiver or the source approach or move away from each other.

Our values are given by,

$v_s = 32.2m/s \rightarrow$ Velocity of car

$v_r = 14.8 m/s \rightarrow$ velocity of motor

$c = 343m/s \rightarrow$ Velocity of sound

$f_0 = 523Hz \rightarrow$ Frequency emited by the source

Replacing we have that

$f = \frac{c + v_r}{c - v_s}f_0$

$f = \frac{343 + 14.8}{343 - 32}(523)$

$f = 601.7Hz$

Therefore the frequency that hear the motorcyclist is 601.7Hz

A sock stuck to the inside of the clothes dryer spins around the drum once every 2.0 s at a distance of 0.50 m from the center o

Rashid [163]

a) 1.57 m/s

The sock spins once every 2.0 seconds, so its period is

T = 2.0 s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the sock is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{2.0}=3.14 rad/s$

The linear speed of the sock is given by

$v=\omega r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

r = 0.50 m is the radius of the circular path of the sock

Substituting, we find:

$v=(3.14)(0.50)=1.57 m/s$

B) Faster

In this case, the drum is twice as wide, so the new radius of the circular path of the sock is twice the previous one:

$r' = 2r = 1.00 m$

At the same time, the drum spins at the same frequency as before, therefore the angular frequency as not changed:

$\omega' = \omega = 3.14 rad/s$

Therefore, the new linear speed would be:

$v'=\omega' r' = \omega (2r)$

And substituting,

$v'=(3.14)(1.00)=3.14 rad/s = 2v$

So, we see that the linear speed has doubled.

A boat is able to move through still water at 20 m/s. It makes a round trip to a town 3.0 km upstream. If the river flows at 5m/

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option e) 320 s

Explanation:

Here, distance = 3.0 km = 3000 m

The velocity of boat when it is going upstream;

Upstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water - velocity of river flow

So, Upstream velocity $=20m/s-5m/s=15m/s$

So,Time to go upstream

$(t_{1}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{15m/s} =200 s$

The velocity of boat when it is going downstream;

Downstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water + velocity of river flow

So, Downstream velocity $=20m/s+5m/s=25m/s$

So,Time to go downstream

$(t_{2}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{25m/s} =120 s$

So, total time (t) = $t_{1}+t_{2}=200s+120 s=320s$

Option E is the correct answer.

5p - 14 = 8 p + 4 find p

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Explanation:

5p - 14 = 8p + 4

5p = 8p + 18 <-- Moving constants to one side; add the same number of +14 to both sides.

-3p = 18. <-- The same thing with the variable itself.

p = -6 <-- Divide both sides by negative 3.
