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.

A block of mass m1=3.7kg on a smooth inclined plane of angle 30 is connected by a cord over a small frictionless pulley to a sec
kari74 [83]

consider the forces on mass m₁ on the incline plane :

parallel to incline , force equation is given as

T - m₁ g Sin30 = m₁ a

T = m₁ g Sin30 + m₁ a                                       eq-1

consider the force on mass m₂ on the incline plane :

m₂ g - T = m₂ a  

T = m₂ g - m₂ a                                                  eq-2

Using eq-1  and eq-2

m₂ g - m₂ a = m₁ g Sin30 + m₁ a

inserting the values

(2.3 x 9.8) - 2.3 a = (3.7 x 9.8) Sin30 + 3.7 a

a = 0.74 m/s²

If force remains constant and acceleration decreases what must happen to the mass
blondinia [14]

That can only be happening if the mass mysteriously increased somehow.  I'd like to know how in the world THAT happened.
