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.

professor190 [17]

Answer: 1037 miles per hour

Explanation: In order to see the sun in the same position in the sky, you would have to travel against the speed of rotation of the earth, because this is what causes the sun to appear in a constantly changing position.

Because of this, we will have to calculate the speed of rotation of the earth. To get started, we must know the circumference of the earth. Assuming the circumference formula for a sphere,

Circumference=2\pi R

Where R is the radius of the earth, we find that the perimeter of the earth is approximately 24881 miles. The equation to calculate speed is given by

v=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Because the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, we have to find the speed of rotation as the perimeter of the earth divided by 24 hours.

The obtained result is 1037 miles per hour.

You would have to travel at 1037 miles per hour in the direction opposite to the direction the rotation is ocurring in.

Which statement best describes a wave?
dedylja [7]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.
