A boy on a bicycle approaches a brick wall as he sounds his horn at a frequency 400 hz. the sound he hears reflected back from t

he wall is at a frequency 408 hz. at what is the speed is the boy riding his bicycle toward the wall? assume the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s.

The question pertains to the change in frequency of a wave noted by an observer moving in relation to the source, indicating that the concept to invoke is "Doppler's effect."

The standard formula for the Doppler effect is:
f = (\frac{g + v_{r}}{g + v_{s}})f_{o} -- (A)

Note that we don’t need to be concerned with the signs here, as all entities are moving toward each other. If something was moving away, a negative sign would apply, but that is not relevant to this scenario.

Where,
g = Speed of sound = 340m/s.
v_{r} = Velocity of the observer relative to the medium =?.
v_{s} = Velocity of the source in relation to the medium = 0 m/s.
f_{o} =  Frequency emitted from the source = 400 Hz.
f = Frequency recognized by the observer = 408 Hz.

Substituting the given values into equation (A) will yield:

408 = ( \frac{340 + v_{r}}{340 + 0})*400

\frac{408}{400} = \frac{340 + v_{r}}{340}

Solving the above will result in,
v_{r} = 6.8 m/s

The correct result = 6.8m/s

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

d_total = 12 m

Explanation:

In this kinematics scenario illustrated in the graph provided, we determine the distance traveled over a 24-second duration.

The comprehensive distance can be calculated as follows:

d_total = d₁ + d₂ + d₃

Given that d₂ on the graph is level (v=0), its distance equates to zero, hence d₂ = 0.

The distance for d₁ is calculated as:

d₁ = 12 - 6 = 6 m

For distance d₃:

d₃ = 6 - 0 = 6 m

Thus, the overall distance covered is:

d_total = 6 + 0 + 6

d_total = 12 m

When you apply the torque equation ∑τ = 0 to an object in equilibrium, the axis about which torques are calculated:
Softa [3030]

Answer:

option D.

Explanation:

The correct choice is option D.

For an object in equilibrium, the torque measured at any point will be zero.

An object is deemed to be in equilibrium when the net moment acting on it equals zero.

If the object experiences a net moment not equal to zero, it will rotate and will not remain stable.

Because of your knowledge of physics, you have been hired as a consultant for a new James Bond movie, "Oldfinger". In one scene,
Softa [3030]

Answer:

v = [√(g/2h)]L

Explanation:

Let v represent the initial horizontal speed, and t denote the duration James Bond takes to leap off the ledge of length, L.

Thus, we derive vt = L, which leads to t = L/v

Additionally, considering that Bond begins with no horizontal velocity, he descends freely over the height, h; thus the equation y - y' = ut - 1/2gt² is applicable, where y = 0 (top of the cliff) and y' = -h, u = 0 (initial vertical speed), g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and t = the time required to leap from the cliff = L/v.

By substituting these parameters into the equation, we obtain

y' - y = ut - 1/2gt²

-h - 0 = 0 × t - 1/2g(L/v)²

-h  = - 1/2gL²/v²

v² = gL²/2h

taking the square root of both sides gives us

v = [√(g/2h)]L

Therefore, James Bond's required minimum horizontal velocity is v = [√(g/2h)]L
