One observer stand on a train moving at a constant speed, and one observer stands at rest on the ground. The person on the train

stands at the back of the car and turns on a flashight; the light travels to the front of the car, bounces off a mirror, and returns to the back of the car (assume the light is traveling in a vacuum). the observer on the train measures the time it takes for the light to take this path and knowing the length of the car, calculates the speed of light. What value does he obtain?
a) Greater than c

b) Equal to c

c) Less than c

d) The speed of the light canot be determined without knowing the speed of the train

What will be the fundamental frequency and first three overtones for a 26cm long organ at 20°C if it is open ( at 20°C, the spee
kakasveta [241]

Explanation:

The frequency of an organ pipe if it is open is given by :

f=\dfrac{nv}{2l}

v is speed of sound in air is 343 m/s at 20°C

For fundamental frequency, n = 1

f=\dfrac{1\times 343}{2\times 0.26}\\\\f=659.61\ Hz

First overtone frequency,

f_1=2f\\\\f_1=2\times 659.61\\\\f_1=1319.22\ Hz

Second overtone frequency,

f_2=3f\\\\f_2=3\times 659.61\\\\f_2=1978.83\ Hz

Third overtone frequency

f_3=4f\\\\f_3=4\times 659.61\\\\f_3=2638.44\ Hz

Hence, this is the required solution.

A Morrison’s fuel truck is traveling at a speed of 5 miles per hour for 5 minutes what distance does it travel?
madam [21]

Answer: 2,200 feet

<u>Explanation:</u>

Use the following conversions: 1 mile = 5280 feet, 1 hour = 60 minutes

\dfrac{5\ miles}{1\ hour}\times \dfrac{5280\ ft}{1\ mile}\times \dfrac{1\ hour}{60\ min}\times 5\ min=\dfrac{132,000}{60}ft=\large\boxed{2,200\ ft}
