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

Sally takes two bar magnets and randomly tapes one end of each bar magnet. she labels the magnets A and B. She brings the taped
vlabodo [156]
Since the two taped poles of the magnets labeled A and B attracts one to each other, we know that the two taped poles are oppsosite.

So, you can predict with total certainty that when she brings the taped end of the third magnet (magnet C) near each of the first two magntes, in one case they will attract each other and in the other case they will repele mutually.

You are certain of that because, since the taped poles of the first two magnets are opposite, the pole of the third magnet has to be equal to one of the two first taped poles and opposite to the other of the two firest taped poles.
