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

A combination lock has a 1.3-cm-diameter knob that is part of the dial you turn to unlock the lock. To turn that knob, you twist
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.04225 Nm

Explanation:

N = Force applied = 5 N

\mu = Coefficient of static friction = 0.65

d = Diameter of knob = 1.3 cm

r = Radius of knob = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.3}{2}=0.65\ cm

Force is given by

F=N\mu\\\Rightarrow F=5\times 0.65\\\Rightarrow F=3.25\ N

When we multiply force and radius we get torque

Torque on thumb

\tau_t=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=0.021125\ Nm

Torque on forefinger

\tau_f=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=0.021125\ Nm

The total torque is given by

\tau=\tau_t+\tau_f\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.021125+0.021125\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.04225\ Nm

The most torque that exerted on the knob is 0.04225 Nm

Determine the binding energy per nucleon of an mg-24 nucleus. the mg-24 nucleus has a mass of 24.30506. a proton has a mass of 1
My name is Ann [436]

The mass of Mg-24 is 24.30506 amu, it contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons.

Theoretical mass of Mg-24:

The theoretical mass of Mg-24 is:

Hydrogen atom mass = 12 × 1.00728 amu = 12.0874 amu

Neutron mass = 12 x 1.008665 amu = 12.104 amu

Theoretical mass = Hydrogen atom mass + Neutron mass = 24.1913 amu

Note that the mass defect is:

Mass defect = Actual mass - Theoretical mass : 24.30506 amu- 24.1913 amu= 0.11376 amu

Calculating the binding energy per nucleon:

\frac{B.E.}{nucleon}=\frac{(0.11376amu)(931Mev/amu}{24nucleons}  = 4.41294 Mev/nucleon

So approximately 4.41294 Mev/necleon

A cart is driven by a large propeller or fan, which can accelerate or decelerate the cart. The cart starts out at the position x
mash [69]

Answer:

The acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion:

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*x

2*a*x = Vf^2 - Vi^2

a = (Vf^2 - Vi^2)/ 2*x

Where Vf is the final velocity of the cart, Vi is the initial velocity of the cart, a the acceleration of the cart and x the displacement of the cart.

Let x = Xf -Xi

Where Xf is the final position of the cart and Xi the initial position of the cart.

x = 12.5 - 0

x = 12.5

The cart comes to a stop before changing direction

Vf = 0 m/s

a = (0^2 - 5^2)/ 2*12.5

a = - 1 m/s^2

The cart is decelerating

Therefore the acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.
