A light-rail commuter train blows its 200 Hz horn as it approaches a crossing. The speed of sound is 339 m/s. (a) An observer wa

iting at the crossing receives a frequency of 220 Hz. What is the speed of the train? m/s (b) What frequency does the observer receive as the train moves away? Hz

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

A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 13.0 m/s.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

a) Knowns, initial speed $v_{i}=13.0 m/s$ , final speed $v_{f}=0 m/s$ and gravity due it is a constant $g=9.8m/s^{2}$

b) The maximum high reached by the dolphin is $y_{max}=8.62 m$

c) Total time is $t=2.65s$

Explanation:

a) First of all the initial speed is given at the start of the problem, gravity is constant and final speed is known any object thrown straight up reaches its max high at $0m/s$ speed.

b) Second, now that we know final speed we use $v_{f} =v_{i}-gt$ , as we clear for $t=\frac{v_{i}-v_{f} }{g}=\frac{20.0m/s}{9.8m/s^{2} }=1.32 s$ .

Then we use $y=v_{i}t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}=(20.0m/s)(1.32s)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8m/s^{2} ) (1.32s)^{2} =8.62m$

c)Third, finally we can use $y=v_{i}t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}$ , as we know $y=0m$ when the dolphin fall into the water again and $v_{i} =13.0m/s$ , then we have $0=(13m/s)t-\frac{1}{2} (9.8m/s^{2} )t^{2}$ is a quadratic form $0=t(13.0-4.9t)$ so we have $t_{i}=0s$ and $t_{f}=\frac{13}{4.90} =2.65s$

A disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.63 m and mass 152 kg rotates freely with an angular speed of 0.526 rev/s. A 51.7 kg per

zalisa [80]

Explanation:

Given

radius $r=2.63 m$

$N=0.526 rev/s$

$\omega =3.30 rad/s$

mass disc $M=152 kg$

mass of person $m=51.7 kg$

velocity of Person $v=2.76 m/s$

moment of inertia $I=Mr^2$

$I=0.5\times 152\times 2.63^2=827.64 kg-m^2$

Initial angular momentum

$L_i=I\omega +mvr$

$L_i=827.64\times 3.30+51.7\times 2.76\times 2.63$

$L_i=2731.212+375.27=3106.48 Js$

Final Moment inertia

$I_f=0.5Mr^2+mr^2$

$I_f=(152\cdot 0.5+51.7)\cdot (2.63)^2=1185.243 kg-m^2$

final angular momentum

$L_f=I_f\omega _f$

Conserving angular momentum

$L_i=L_f$

$3106.48=1408.97\times \omega _f$

$\omega _f=2.62 rad/s$

What is the difference between alcoholic and Mercury thermometer based on their function?

user100 [1]

Alcohol filled thermometer is used for low temperature applications. (Weather) It’s freezing point is -70 degC
While mercury freezes at -38 deg C

Mercury is/was better for human and other animal temps. High thermal coefficient of expansion mercury vs. alcohol = better resolution for small temperature changes in a medical application.

For higher temperatures alcohol will boil before mercury will.

1. Compare the speed that light waves travel in air to the speed that sound waves travel in the air. How many times faster do li

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

895522 times faster.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Speed of sound in air (v) = 335 m/s

Speed of light in air (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

How many times faster =.?

To obtain how many times faster light travels in air than sound, do the following

c : v => 3×10⁸ : 335

c/v = 3×10⁸ / 335

c/v = 895522

Cross multiply

c = 895522 × v

From the illustrations made above, we can see that the speed of the light in air (c) is 895522 times the speed of sound in air.

Thus, light travels 895522 times faster than sound in air.
