A high speed train is traveling at a speed of 44.7 m/s when the engineer sounds the 415 Hz warning horn. The speed of sound is 3
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of the source of sound = v = 44.7 m/s

Speed of sound = V = 343 m/s

a) Apparent  frequency as the train approaches = f =  [V /(V -v) ] × f

= [343 / (343 - 44.7) ] × 415  = 477.18 Hz

Wave length =  λ = v / f = 343 / 477.18 = 0.719 m

b) Frequency heard as the train leaves = f ' =  [V / ( V + v) ] f

                                                                     = [343 / { 343 + 44.7 ) ] x 415

                                                                      = 367.2 Hz

Wavelength when leaving = v / f = 343 / 367.2 = 0.934 m

What linear speed must an earth satellite have to be in a circular orbit at an altitude of 159 km?
IgorLugansk [536]
Gravitational acceleration, g = GM/r^2. Additionally, for a satellite in a circular orbit, g = v^2/r

Where, G = Gravitational constant, M = Mass of earth, r = distance from the center of the earth to the satellite, v = linear speed of the satellite.

Equating the two expressions;
v^2/r = GM/r^2
v = Sqrt (GM/r);
But GM = Constant = 398600.5 km^3/sec^2
r = Altitude+Radius of the earth = 159+6371 = 6530 km

Substituting;
v = Sqrt (398600.5/6530) = 7.81 km/sec = 781 m/s

Use the information from the graph to answer the question.
galina1969 [7]

The displacement of the object as determined from the velocity-time graph is 562.5 m.

<h3>What is a velocity-time graph?</h3>

A velocity-time graph is a graph of the velocity of an object plotted in the vertical or y-axis of the graph against the time taken on the horizontal or x-axis.

The displacement of an object can be obtained from its velocity-time graph by calculating the total area under the graph.

The total area under the graph = area of triangle + area of rectangle

Area of triangle = b*h/2 =

Area of triangle = 25 * (35 - 10)/2 = 312.5 m

Area of rectangle = l * b

Area of rectangle = 10 * 25 = 250 m

Total area = (312.5 + 250) m

Total area = 562.5 m

Therefore, the displacement of the object is 562.5 m

In conclusion, the total area of a velocity-time graph gives the displacement.
