A train is moving parallel to a highway with a constant speed of 19.5 m/s. A car is traveling in the same direction as the train

with a speed of 40.5 m/s. The car horn sounds at a frequency of 512 Hz, and the train whistle sounds at a frequency of 322 Hz. (a) When the car is behind the train, what frequency does an occupant of the car observe for the train whistle? Hz (b) After the car passes and is in front of the train, what frequency does a train passenger observe for the car horn?

Answer:

(a). The frequency of the car is 990.76 Hz.

(b). The frequency of the train is 265.48 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of train = 19.5 m/s

Speed of car = 40.5 m/s

Frequency of car's horn = 512 Hz

Frequency of train's whistle = 322 Hz

(a). When the car is behind the train,

We need to calculate the frequency of the car

Using formula of frequency

$f_{c}=f_{t}(1+\dfrac{v_{c}}{v_{t}})$

Put the value into the formula

$f_{c}=322\times(1+\dfrac{40.5}{19.5})$

$f_{c}=990.76\ Hz$

(b). After the car passes and is in front of the train,

We need to calculate the frequency of train

Using formula of frequency

$f_{t}=f_{c}(1+\dfrac{v_{c}}{v_{t}})$

Put the value into the formula

$f_{t}=512\times(1-\dfrac{19.5}{40.5})$

$f_{c}=265.48\ Hz$

Hence, (a). The frequency of the car is 990.76 Hz.

(b). The frequency of the train is 265.48 Hz.

a car with a mass of 1200 kilograms is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 20 meters per second. the centrip

qaws [65]

Well, first of all, a car moving around a circular curve is not moving
with uniform velocity. The direction of motion is part of velocity, and
the direction is constantly changing on a curve.

The centripetal force that keeps an object moving in a circle is

   Force = (mass of the object) · (speed)² / (radius of the circle)

   F = m s² / r

We want to know the radius, to rearrange the formula to give us
the radius as a function of everything else.

      F   = m s² / r

Multiply each side by 'r': F· r = m · s²

Divide each side by 'F':    r = m · s² / F

We know all the numbers on the right side,
so we can pluggum in:

r =       m    · s² /    F

      r = (1200 kg) · (20 m/s)² / (6000 N) .

I'm pretty sure you can finish it up from here.

Two men, Joel and Jerry, each pushes an object that are identical on a horizontal frictionless floor starting from rest. Joel an

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Explanation:

Let suppose that forces are parallel or antiparallel to the direction of motion. Given that Joel and Jerry exert constant forces on the object, the definition of work can be simplified as:

$W = F\cdot \Delta s$

Where:

$W$ - Work, measured in joules.

$F$ - Force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

$\Delta s$ - Travelled distance by the object, measured in meters.

During the first 10 minutes, the net work exerted on the object is zero. That is:

$W_{net} = W_{Joel} - W_{Jerry}$

$W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s - F\cdot \Delta s$

$W_{net} = (F-F)\cdot \Delta s$

$W_{net} = 0\cdot \Delta s$

$W_{net} = 0\,J$

In exchange, the net work in the next 5 minutes is the work done by Joel on the object:

$W_{net} = W_{Joel}$

$W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s$

Hence, the work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

How are density and pressure related related to each other?

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The pressure is the measure of force acting on a unit area. Density is the measure of how closely any given entity is packed, or it is the ratio of the mass of the entity to its volume. The relation between pressure and density is direct. Change in pressure will be reflected in a change in density

This dude was sitting in the chair. Someone pulls the chair out from under him. He does not move in the direction of the chair.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

This shows inertia because inertia is an object's resistance to change in motion. When the person (imma call them a she) who pulled the chair from under the guy did that, the chair was the one affected by the force of the girl, not the guy. The guy continued heading in the direction he was originally going, which was down.

At least, that's about how I would answer this question.
