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

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:2

Explanation:

Given

m_2>m_1

and a_1 and a_2 are the acceleration of 1 and 2

Suppose  T is the Tension

then for block 2

m_2g-T=m_2a

m_2(g-a)=T---1

For block 1

T-m_1g=m_1a

T=m_1(g+a)----2

equate 1 and 2

m_2(g-a)=m_1(g+a)

a=\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}

where a=a_1=a_2

thus we can see that a is less than g

therefore a_2 < g

A circular loop of wire with 15 turns, radius 0.129 m and resistance 0.251 Ohms is connected to a 16.7 V power supply. The magne
Licemer1 [7]

The magnetic field at the center of the circular loop is 3.24 x 10⁻⁴ T.

<h3>Current in the wire</h3>

The current in the wire is calculated as follows;

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 16.7/0.251

I = 66.53 A

<h3>Magnetic field at the center of the loop</h3>

The magnetic field at the center of the circular loop is calculated as follows;

B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R} \\\\B = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times66.53 }{2\times 0.129} \\\\B = 3.24 \times 10^{-4} \ T

In a ballistic pendulum an object of mass m is fired with an initial speed v0 at a pendulum bob. The bob has a mass M, which is
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The expression for the initial speed of the fired projectile is:

\displaystyle v_0=\frac{M+m}{m}(2gL[1-cos(\theta)]^{\frac{1}{2}})

And the initial speed ratio for the 9.0mm/44-caliber bullet is 1.773.

Explanation:

For the expression for the initial speed of the projectile, we can separate the problem in two phases. The first one is the moment before and after the impact. The second phase is the rising of the ballistic pendulum.

First Phase: Impact

In the process of the impact, the net external forces acting in the system bullet-pendulum are null. Therefore the linear momentum remains even (Conservation of linear momentum). This means:

P_0=P_f\\v_0m=v_i(m+M)\\v_0=v_i\frac{m+M}{m}  (1)

Second Phase: pendular movement

After the impact, there isn't any non-conservative force doing work in al the process. Therefore the mechanical energy remains constant (Conservation Of Mechanical Energy). Therefore:

Em_i=Em_f\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2_i=mgH\\v_i=[2gH]^\frac{1}{2}  (2)

The height of the pendulum respect L and θ is:

H=L(1-cos(\theta)) (3)

Using equations (1),(2) and (3):

\displaystyle v_0=\frac{M+m}{m}(2gL[1-cos(\theta)]^{\frac{1}{2}}) (4)

The initial speed ratio for the 9.0mm/44-caliber bullet is obtained using equation (4):

\displaystyle \frac{v_{9mm}}{v_{44}} =\frac{(M+m_{9mm})m_{44}}{(M+m_{44})m_{9}}(\frac{1-cos(\theta_{9mm})}{1-cos(\theta_{44})} )^{\frac{1}{2}}=1.773

In the Fresnel circular aperture setup, the distances from the aperture to the light source and the reception screen are 1.5 m a
ivanzaharov [21]

Explanation:

The width of the central maximum is given by

W = 2 λ L / a

where W is the width of the central maximum

λ is the wavelength of the light used.

L is the distance between the aperture and screen

a is the width of the slit or aperture

So we can see that if any one quantity is varied by keeping others constant in the above formula , there would be a change in width of central maximum.

Convert 60 km/ hr into m/s
elixir [45]

Answer:

1 KM per minute is the real speed in minutes, turn that into 1000 meters per minute and divided by 60, you get a good number of 16.6666666667 which means you could go 50 meters per 3 seconds

Explanation:

so it would be 16.6666666667 meters per second
