v = speed of the source of sound or the train towards the listener or switchman = 40 m/s

V = actual speed of sound = 340 m/s

f = actual frequency of sound as emitted from source or the train = 1000 Hz

f' = frequency as observed by the listener or by switchman = ?

Using Doppler's law , frequency observed by a listener from a source moving towards it is given as

f' = V f /(V - v)

inserting the values

f' = 340 x 1000 /(340 - 40)

f' = 340 x 1000/300

Describe the relationship between the Law of Conservation of Matter and balancing equations.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The mass of the products and reactants are the same on both sides of the equation.

The number of atoms of products and reactants are equal and hence it proves the law of conservation of mass.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.80
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

a)1.14

b)0.31

c)1.14

d)0.25

Explanation:

Assume wave travels in a harmonic motion. This means if it takes 2.8 for the boat to travel from highest to lowest point, then it'd take 2.8*2 = 5.6 for the boat to travel in 1 period (from highest point to lowest point then back to highest point again).

a)As the wave crest is 6.4 apart. Then it's speed is

v = s/t = 6.4/5.6 = 1.14

b) The amplitude would be half of the vertical distance traveled by the boat, which is

A = 0.62 / 2 = 0.31

c) As the distance between the crest and the time it takes for the boat to travel vertically is unchanged, then the wave speed would stay the same:

v = 1.14

d) The amplitude would again be half of the vertical distance

A = 0.5 / 2 = 0.25
