A railroad train is traveling at a speed of 26.0 m/s in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the locomotive whistle i

s 420 Hz.
1. What is the wavelength of the sound waves in front of the locomotive? Use 344 m/s for the speed of sound in air.
2. What is the wavelength of the sound waves behind the locomotive? Use 344 m/s for the speed of sound in air.
3. What is the frequency of the sound heard by a stationary listener in front of the locomotive? Use 344 m/s for the speed of sound in air.

Answer: 0.757m; 0.881m; 432.70Hz; 371.89Hz

Explanation:

Give the following :

Velocity of train (Vt) = 26m/s

Frequency of sound (Fs) = 420Hz

Speed of sound (Vs) = 344m/s

1) wavelength = (Vs - Vt) / Fs

Wavelength = (344 - 26) / 420 = 318/420 = 0.757m

11) Wavelength = (Vs + Vt) / Fs

Wavelength = (344 + 26) / 420 = 370/420 = 0.881m

111) According to the doppler effect :

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = frequency of listener ; fs = frequency of sound source ; V = speed of sound ; Vl = Velocity of listener ; Vs = speed of sound source

Vs = - ve (train moving towards listener)

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = [(344 + 0) / (344 - 26)] * 400

Fl = (344 / 318) * 400 = 432.70Hz

1V) Vs = + ve (train moving away listener)

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = [(344 + 0) / (344 + 26)] * 400

Fl = (344 / 370) * 400 = 371.89Hz

Three point charges are arranged on a line. Charge q3 = 5 nC and is at the origin. Charge q2 = - 3 nC and is at x = 4 cm. Charge
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

Explanation:

Theory of electrical forces

Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

Known data

q₃=5 nC

q₂=- 3 nC

d₁₃=  2 cm

d₂₃ = 4 cm

Graphic attached

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q1 and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.

For the net force on q3 to be zero F₁₃ and F₂₃ must have the same magnitude and opposite direction, So,  the charge q₁ must be positive(q₁+).

The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs ,then. F₁₃ is directed to the left (-x).

The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs.  F₂₃ is directed to the right (+x)

Calculation of q1

F₁₃ = F₂₃

\frac{k*q_{1}*q_3 }{(d_{13})^{2}  } = \frac{k*q_{2}*q_3 }{(d_{23})^{2}  }

We divide by (k * q3) on both sides of the equation

\frac{q_{1} }{(d_{13})^{2} } = \frac{q_{2} }{(d_{23})^{2} }

q_{1} = \frac{q_{2}*(d_{13})^{2}   }{(d_{23} )^{2}  }

q_{1} = \frac{5*(2)^{2} }{(4 )^{2}  }

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
Wewaii [24]
The correct option is A.
Fluorescent lamps have many advantages over incandescent lamps and the options given in B, C and D are part of these advantages. The option given in A is a disadvantage and not an advantage. This is because, as a result of operating at an higher temperature, it will gives out and radiate more heat.

Blake is setting up his tent at a renaissance fair. If the tent is 8 feet tall and the tether can be staked no more than 2 feet
Mariana [72]
The stake, height and tether length of the tent form a right angle triangle where the tether length is the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem:
length² = height² + (stake distance)²
length = √(8² + 2²)
length = 8.5 feet
