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

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.3 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for him to fall 7m.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 7 + (0) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 7 − 4.9 t²

t ≈ 1.20 s

Now find the velocity he needs to travel 6.3m in that time.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

6.3 = 0 + v₀ (1.20) + ½ (0) (1.20)²

v₀ ≈ 5.27 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the man must run with a speed of 5.3 m/s.

Question 4. A tuning fork ‘A’ produces 6 beats/sec with another fork ‘B’ of un-known frequency. On
8090 [49]

Clever problem.

We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks.  So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is      6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz.  But which one is it ?

Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz.  That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.

If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.

The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz.  While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.
