A train is traveling west at a velocity of 25 m/s. Another train is traveling east directly toward the west-bound train at a vel

ocity of 15 m/s. The west-bound train blows its whistle with a frequency of 600 Hz when the two trains are 1000 m apart and then blows its whistle again 10 seconds later. For passengers on the east-bound train, how will the perceived frequency of the first whistle compare with the perceived frequency of the second whistle

(a) The frequency observed by the passenger on the east-bound train when they are 1000 m apart is 675.5 Hz.

(b) After 10 seconds, the frequency observed by the passenger on the east-bound train will be greater than the frequency observed when they are 1000 m apart.

<h3>Observed frequency</h3>

The frequency observed by the passenger on east-bound train is calculated by applying Doppler shift formula.

f = f_0(\frac{v \pm v_0}{v\pm v_s} )

where;

  • f is observed frequency
  • f₀ is original frequency or source frequency
  • v is speed of sound
  • v₀ is speed of observer (positive when moving towards source)
  • vs is source frequency (negative when moving towards observer)

<h3>when the two trains are 1000 m apart</h3>

f = 600(\frac{343 +15}{343-25} )\\\\f = 675.5 \ Hz

The frequency observed by the passenger increases with decrease in distance between the two trains.

Thus, after 10 seconds, the frequency observed by the passenger on the east-bound train will be greater than the frequency observed when they are 1000 m apart.

I don’t understand how to do this
anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

A) Use Hooke's law to find the spring constant.

F = kx

40 N = k (0.4 m)

k = 100 N/m

B) Period of a spring-mass system is:

T = 2π √(m / k)

T = 2π √(2.6 kg / 100 N/m)

T = 1 s

Frequency is the inverse of period.

f = 1 / T

f = 1 Hz

kakasveta [241]

Explanation:

At the instant of release there is no force but an acceleration of a, this means the ball is falling freely under the force of gravity. Then the acceleration would be due to force of gravity and acceleration a = g =9.81 m/s^2.

g= acceleration due to gravity
