Answer:

a) 30.82 m/s

b)  183.33 Hz

Explanation:

a)

V = speed of the sound = 339 m/s

v = speed of the train = ?

f' = observed frequency by the observer = 220 Hz

f = actual frequency of the observer = 200 Hz

using the equation

f' = \frac{fV}{V - v}

220 = \frac{(200)(339)}{339 - v}

v =  30.82 m/s

b)

V = speed of the sound = 339 m/s

v = speed of the train = 30.82 m/s

f'' = observed frequency by the observer as train moves away = ?

f = actual frequency of the observer = 200 Hz

using the equation

f'' = \frac{fV}{V + v}

f'' = \frac{(200)(339)}{339 + 30.82}

f'' = 183.33 Hz

Question 11 (1 point)
Ainat [17]

Answer:

gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth surface.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

G.P.E = mgh

Where,

G.P.E represents gravitational potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

This ultimately implies that, anytime there is height, the object must have gravitational potential energy.

Hence, an object possesses gravitational potential energy due to its height (position) and the earth's gravitational force.

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
elena55 [62]
<span>The rule of inertia states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless another force has acted upon it. Because the person doesn't have their seatbelt on, they will keep moving. But if they were wearing a seatbelt, that would work as the force that is supposed to stop the person from flying forward.

Hope this helps :)

In the 1920s what did Edmund hubble notice about the galaxies
zlopas [31]
Hubble noticed that the galaxies were moving away from us, which meant the universe was expanding.

This is why constellations change over time. In some years, the Big Dipper won't actually look like a dipper anymore.
