Two train whistles have identical frequencies of 180 Hz. When one train is at rest in the station, sounding its whistle, a beat

frequency of 3.7 Hz is heard from a train moving toward us. Find the speed of the train. (Take the speed of sound to be 345 m/s.)

Answer:

7 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Frequency at stationary =f_0=180Hz

Beat frequency=3.7 Hz

Apparent frequency=f=180+3.7=183.7Hz

Speed of sound=v=345 m/s

We have to find the speed of train

Apparent frequency=f=f_0(\frac{v}{v-v_s})

Substitute the values then we get

183.7=180(\frac{345}{345-v_s})

345-v_s=\frac{180\times 345}{183.7}

345-v_s=338

v_s=345-338=7 m/s

Hence, the speed of train=7 m/s

A circular swimming pool has a radius of 15 ft. There is a path all around that pool that is three feet wide.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Circumference(C) of the circle is given by:

C = 2 \pi r

where, r is the radius of the circle.

As per the statement:

A circular swimming pool has a radius of 15 ft.

⇒radius of the pool(r) = 15 ft

There is a path all around that pool that is three feet wide.

⇒radius of the outer edge of the path around the pool(r') = 15 +3 = 18 ft

Substitute these in the formula we have;

C = 2 \pi r'

⇒C = 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 18 = 113.04 ft

Therefore, the circumference of the outer edge of the path around the pool is, 113.04 ft

Cans of tuna cost $3.00 for 6 ½ ounces. At that rate, how much would 104 ounces of tuna cost?
algol13

Answer:

$48.00

Step-by-step explanation:

$3.00 / 6.5 oz = [unknown $] / 104 oz

unknown $ = 104 oz * $3.00 / 6.5 oz

unknown $ = 16 * $3.00 ((oz/oz cancels out))

unknown $ = $48.00

Please help me solve this, also the cut off part just says dont use spaces in your answers
Alisiya [41]

the equation of the line is

y = -3x + 6

slope is m = -3

as we know that for parallel lines, the slope is always equal.

so the slope of the new line is also m = -3

it is also passing through (-4,9)

so the equation of the line i s

y-9=m(x-(-4))

m= -3

y-9=-3(x+4)_{}

\begin{gathered} y-9=-3x-12 \\ y=-3x-12+9 \\ y=-3x-3 \end{gathered}

so the answer is y = -3x - 3

The ratio of the surface area of two cubes is 49:81. Find the ratio of there volumes.​
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

343 : 729

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube is made up of 6 square faces. If each face has a side length of a, we can find the surface area of that cube with the formula A=6a^2, since we'll have 6 faces with area a². Let's call the edge length of the first cube a and the edge length of the second cube b. The ratio between their surface areas is then 6a² : 6b², or simply a² : b². If we compare this to our given ratio 49 : 81, we can see that a² = 49 and b² = 81, or, square rooting both equations, a = 7 and b = 9.

The volume of a cube with a side length a is a³, so the ratio between our cubes here must be a³ : b³. Using the values for a and b we just found, this ratio becomes 7³ : 9³, which we can simplify to 343 : 729.
