A train is traveling away from you at 120 km/h. it blows its whistle, and you hear a tone of 0.400 kHz. Take the speed of sound

to be 340 m/s. What frequency does the whistle actually produce? A) 444 Hz. B) 439 Hz C) 364 Hz D) 361 Hz

Answer:B)439.21 Hz

Explanation:

Given

velocity of train $v=120 km/h\approx 120\times \frac{5}{18}=33.33 m/s$

frequency of train $f_a=0.400 kHz\approx 400 Hz$

speed of sound $c=340 m/s$

frequency from Doppler effect can be calculated by

$f_a=(\frac{c}{c+v})\cdot f$

$400=(\frac{340}{340+33.33})\cdot f$

$400=\frac{340}{373.33}\cdot f$

$f=400\times 1.098$

$f=439.21 Hz$

At what height h above the ground does the projectile have a speed of 0.5v?

maw [93]

Answer:

$h=\dfrac{3v^2}{8g}$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the projectile is 0.5 v. Let h is the height above the ground. Using the first equation of motion to find it.

$v=u+at$

$v=u-gt$

Initial speed of the projectile is v and final speed is 0.5 v.

$0.5v=v-gt$

$t=\dfrac{v}{2g}$

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Let h is the height above the ground. Using the second equation of motion as :

$h=vt-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h=v\dfrac{v}{2g}-\dfrac{1}{2}g(\dfrac{v}{2g})^2$

$h=\dfrac{3v^2}{8g}$

So, the height of the projectile above the ground is $\dfrac{3v^2}{8g}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

: A 70 kg man and a 12 kg sled are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 25 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible ma

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$x_1 = 3.74m$

Explanation:

given,

mass of man = 70 kg

mass of sled = 12 kg

F = m a_s

$a_s = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a_s = \dfrac{8.2}{12}$

$a_s = 0.68\ m/s^2$

$F = m a_m$

$a_m = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a_m = \dfrac{8.2}{70}$

$a_m = 0.12\ m/s^2$

$x_1+x_2 = 25$

$\dfrac{1}{2}a_ct^2+ \dfrac{1}{2}a_mt^2 = 25$

$(a_c+a_m)t^2=50$

$(0.12+0.68)t^2=50$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{0.8}}$

t = 7.90 s

$x_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}a_ct^2$

$x_1 = 0.5\times 0.12 \times 7.90^2$

$x_1 = 3.74m$

Which of the following concepts best explains why a mass of low-density material in the mantle rises?Multiple Choice Strain Buoy

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)
