Part 1) A cop car traveling at 25 m/s has a siren producing a frequency of 700 Hz. A felon jumps on his motorcycle and speed off in the opposite direction of 15 m/s. What frequency does the felon hear as he sped away (speed of sound is 343 m/s)?
Part 2) The cop does a U-turn and speeds towards the felon at 30 m/s, while the felon speeds up to 20 m/s. What frequency does the felon hear as he sped away (speed of sound is 343 m/s)?
Part 3) What if the felon then sped up to 30 m/s and all other conditions remained the same?

1) 621.8 Hz

2) 719.3 Hz

3) 700 Hz

Explanation:

The Doppler effect occurs when there is a source of a wave in relative motion with respect to an observer.

When this happens, the frequency of the wave appears shifted to the observer, according to the equation:

$f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v \pm v_s}f$

where

f is the real frequency of the sound

f' is the apparent frequency of the sound

v is the speed of the sound wave

v_o is the velocity of the observer, which is negative if the observer is moving away from the source, positive if the observer is moving towards the source

v_s is the velocity of the source, which is negative if the source is moving towards the observer, positive if the source is moving away

In this problem we have:

f = 700 Hz is the frequency of the siren

v = 343 m/s is the speed of sound

v_s=-25 m/s is the velocity of the car with the siren

v_o = +15 m/s is the velocity of the felon (he's moving away from the siren)

So, the frequency heard by the felon is

$f=\frac{343-25}{343+15}(700)=621.8 Hz$

In this case, the cop does a U-turn and speeds towards the felon at 30 m/s.

This means that now the siren is moving towards the observer (so, v_s becomes positive), while the sign of v_o still remains positive.

So we have:

f = 700 Hz is the frequency of the siren

v = 343 m/s is the speed of sound

v_s=+30 m/s is the velocity of the car with the siren

v_o = +20 m/s is the velocity of the felon

So, the frequency heard by the felon is

$f=\frac{343+30}{343+20}(700)=719.3 Hz$

In this case, the felon speeds up to 30 m/s.

This means that now the felon and the siren are moving with the same relative velocity: so, it's like they are not moving relative to each other, so the frequency will not change.

In fact we have:

f = 700 Hz is the frequency of the siren

v = 343 m/s is the speed of sound

v_s=+30 m/s is the velocity of the car with the siren

v_o = +30 m/s is the velocity of the felon

So, the frequency heard by the felon is

$f=\frac{343+30}{343+30}(700)=700 Hz$

So, the frequency will not change.

Cells in the nervous system have a potential difference of 70 mv across the cell membrane separating the interior of the cell from the extracellular fluid. this potential difference is maintained by ion pumps that move charged ions across the membrane. is this an emf? select the correct answer and explanation. 1)no. the ion pumps cannot separate charges; thus, they cannot create a potential difference. 2)yes. the ion pumps cannot separate charges, but they still can create a potential difference. 3)yes. the ion pumps can actively separate charge; thus, they can create a potential difference. 4)no. the ion pumps can separate charges, but they cannot create a potential difference.
