A man is traveling on a bicycle at 14 m/s along a straight road that runs parallel to some railroad tracks. He hears the whistle

of a train that is behind him. The frequency emitted by the train is 840 Hz, but the frequency the man hears is 778 Hz. Take the velocity of sound to be 340 m/s.
a) What frequency is heard by a stationary observer located between the train and the bicycle?

b) What is the speed of the train, and is the train traveling away from or towardthe bicycle?

deff fn [24]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

b ) The problem is based on Doppler's effect of sound

f = f₀ x (V - v₀) /( V+v_s)

f is apparent frequency ,f₀ is real frequency , V is velocity of sound , v₀ is velocity of observer going away  , v_s is velocity of source going away

778  = 840 x (340 - 14)/ (340 + v_s)

340 + v_s = 341.18

v_s = 1.18 m /s

it will go  away from   the observer or the cyclist.

speed of train = 1.18 m /s

a )

For a stationary observer v₀ = 0

f = f₀ x V  /( V+v_s)

= 840 x 340 / (340 + 1.180)

= 837 Hz

The pulley shown in the attached diagram has a diameter of 30 centimeters and a mass of 19 kilograms. The pulley is a solid disk
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) I = ½mR² = ½(19)(0.15²) = 0.21375 kg•m²

b) τ = Fnet(r) = (25 - 12)(0.15) = 1.95 N•m

c) CCW

d) a = τ/I = 1.95 / 0.21375 = 9.12280701... = 9.1 rad/s²

e) CCW

Does the depth of a pot affect how water freezes
Iteru [2.4K]
In my opinion it does. The more water the pot holds, the longer you need to wait for it to freeze. Since there is more water, some parts may not be completely frozen. An experiment you can try is to get an ice cube container and a pot. fill both of them and put them in the freezer for the same amount of time. When you take it out, the ice cubes should be frozen leaving the pot with cold water.
