What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 110 km/h and emitting a steady 800-Hz sound from

its siren? The speed of sound on this day is 345 m/s.

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The frequency of sound perceive by observer changes from source emitting the sound. The frequency received by observer f_{obs} is more than the frequency emitted by the source. The expression to find the frequency received by the person is,

f_{obs} = f_s (\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})

f_s= Frequency of the source

v_w= Speed of sound

v_s= Speed of source

The velocity of the ambulance is

v_s = 119km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

v_s = 30.55m/s

Replacing at the expression to frequency of observer we have,

f_{obs} = 800Hz(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-30.55m/s})

f_{obs} = 878Hz

Therefore the frequency receive by observer is 878Hz

<span>We'll use the momentum-impulse theorem. The x-component of the total momentum in that direction is given by p_(f) = p_(1) + p_(2) + p_(3) = 0.
  So p_(1x) = m1v1 = 0.2 * 2 = 0.4 Also p_(2x) = m2v2 = 0 and p_(3x) = m3v3 = 0.1 *v3 where v3 is unknown speed and m3 is the mass of the third particle with the unknown speed
 Similarly, the 235g particle, y-component of the total momentum in that direction is given by p_(fy) = p_(1y) + p_(2y) + p_(3y) = 0.
 So p_(1y) = 0, p_(2y) = m2v2 = 0.235 * 1.5 = 0.3525 and p_(3y) = m3v3 = 0.1 * v3 where m3 is third particle mass.
  So p_(fx) = p_(1x) + p_(2x) + p_(3x) = 0.4 + 0.1v3; v3 = 0.4/-0.1 = - 4
 Also p_(fy) = 0.3525 + 0.1v3; v3 = - 0.3525/0.1 = -3.525
  So v_3x = -4 and v_3y = 3.525.
 The speed is their resultant = âš (-4)^2 + (-3.525)^2 = 5.335</span>

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

Explanation:

Given;

distance of the field from the axon, r = 1.3 mm

peak magnetic field strength, B = 9 x 10⁻¹² T

To determine the peak current carried by the axon, apply the following equation;

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r}

where;

B is the peak magnetic field

r is the distance of the magnetic field from axon

μ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷

I is the peak current

Re-arrange the equation and solve for "I"

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r} \\\\I = \frac{B*2\pi r}{\mu} \\\\I = \frac{9*10^{-12}*2*\pi *1.3*10^{-3}}{4\pi *10^{-7}} \\\\I = 5.85 *10^{-8} \ A

Therefore, the peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A

An elephant's legs have a reasonably uniform cross section from top to bottom, and they are quite long, pivoting high on the ani
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

 t = 6,485 s ,  t_step = 25.94 s

the elephant gives 2.3 step very minute

Explanation:

Let's approximate this system to a simple pendulum that has angular velocity

            w = √L / g

Angular velocity and period are related

           w = 2π / T

           T = 2π √g / L

Let's find the period

           T = 2π √9.8 / 2.3

           T = 12.97 s

Stride time is

           t = T / 2

           t = 12.97 / 2

           t = 6,485 s

Frequency is inversely proportional to period

            f = 1 / t

            f = 1 / 6,485

            f = 0.15 Hz

Since the elephant has 4 legs and each uses a time t, the total time for one step is

            t_step = 4 t

            t_step = 4 6.485

            t_step = 25.94 s

             f_step = 1/t_step =0.0385 s-1

Now let's use a proportion rule to find the number of steps in 60 s

           #_step = 60 / t_step

           #__step = 60 / 25.94

           #_step = 2.3 steps

So the elephant gives 2.3 step very minute
