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

A rigid container holds 0.30g of hydrogen gas.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Part A:    \mathbf{Q =94 \ J} to two significant figures

Part B:    \mathbf{Q =160  \ J} to two significant figures

Part C:    \mathbf{Q =220  \ J} to two significant figures

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the hydrogen = 0.30 g

the molar mass of hydrogen gas molecule = 2 g/mol

we all know that:

number of moles = mass/molar mass

number of moles = 0.30 g /2 g/mol

number of moles = 0.15 mol

For low temperature between the range of 50 K to 100 K, the specific heat at constant volume for a diatomic gas molecule = C_v=\dfrac{3}{2}R

For Part A:

Q = mC_v\Delta T

Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{3}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(100-50)K

Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{3}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)

Q=93.5325 \ J

\mathbf{Q =94 \ J} to two significant figures

Part B. For hot temperature, C_v=\dfrac{5}{2}R

Q = mC_v\Delta T

Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{5}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(300-250)K

Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{5}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)

Q=155.8875 \ J

\mathbf{Q =160  \ J} to two significant figures

Part C. For an extremely hot temperature, C_v=\dfrac{7}{2}R

Q = mC_v\Delta T

Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{7}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(2300-2250)K

Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{7}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)

Q=218.2425 \ J

\mathbf{Q =220  \ J} to two significant figures

A bird flies 3.6 km due west and then 1.8 km due north. Another bird flies 1.8 km due west and 3.6 km due north. What is the ang
kondor19780726 [428]
Define unit vectors as follows:
\hat{i} is in the eastern direction.
\hat{j} is in the northern direction.

The position of the first bird is
\vec{a} = -3.6 \, \hat{i} + 1.8 \, \hat{j}

The position of the second bird is
\vec{b} = - 1.8 \, \hat{i} + 3.6 \, \hat{j}

Let θ = the angle between the net displacement vector for the two birds.
By definition,
\vec{a} . \vec{b} = |a| |b| cos\theta \\\\ \theta = cos^{-1} ( \frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{|a||b|} )

\vec{a}.\vec{b} = (-3.6)(-1.8)+(3.6)(1.8) = 12.96
|a| =  \sqrt{3.24+12.96} =4.025
Similarly,
|b| = 4.025

Therefore
\theta = cos^{-1}  \frac{12.96}{4.025^{2}} =36.9^{o}

Answer:  36.9°
