A train is approaching a signal tower at a speed of 40m/s. The train engineer sounds the 1000-Hz whistle, while a switchman in t

he tower responds by sounding 1200-Hz siren. THe air still and the speed is 340m/s. What is the frequency of the train whistle tone that is heard by the switchman?
300/340x1000Hz
380/340x1000Hz
340/300x1000Hz

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

If an electromagnetic wave has components Ey = E0 sin(kx - ωt) and Bz = B0 sin(kx - ωt), in what direction is it traveling?
fomenos

Answer:

Its traveling in the +x direction

Explanation:

The E-field is in the +y-direction, and the B-field is in the +z-direction, so it must be moving along the +x-direction, since the E-field, B-field and the direction of moving are all at right angles to each other.

A basketball player spins the ball with an angular acceleration of 10 rad/s2. What is the ball’s final angular velocity if the b
Lena [83]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The angular acceleration of the basketball, \alpha=10\ rad/s^2

Time taken, t = 3 seconds

We need to find the ball’s final angular velocity if the ball starts from rest. It can be calculated using definition of angular acceleration i.e.

\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}

\omega_i=0\ (rest)

\omega_f=\alpha t

\omega_f=10\ rad/s^2\times 3\ s

\omega=30\ rad/s

So, the ball's final angular velocity is 30 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

How is the behavior of waves affected by a medium?
Vlad1618 [11]
They are slowed down.

even air is a medium and will slow down waves (slightly) compared to a vacuum/ space

if the wave hits the medium at an angle it can be 'bent' (refracted) like light through a glass prism

A hollow metal sphere is electrically neutral (no excess charge). A small amount of negative charge is suddenly placed at one po
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The excess charge has distributed itself evenly over the outside surface of the sphere.

Explanation:

Since the hollow sphere is a conductor, it has free electrons that can move about within the sphere. In this light, an excess charge, the like charges repels each other, therefore ensuring that charges are spread as far apart as possible. There is therefore an evenly distributed charge on the outside surface of the sphere.
