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?

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

A person sits at rest on a chair. The gravitational force on the person (their weight) is one half of an action-reaction pair. W
Feliz [49]

Normal is the  other half of an action-reaction pair

If a person is sitting on a chair , there must be a gravitation force acting in downward direction which is equal to the weight of that person . That means the person is exerting a force on the chair equal to its weight . But the person is not falling down the chair , because of newtons third law of motion .

There must be a counter force which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the person on the chair , in order to make net force equal to zero and to make that man in stationary state ( no movement )  .That force is called Normal force which is been acted by the chair on the person .This implies Normal is the  other half of an action-reaction pair

a coin press creates a pressure of 3.20*10^8 Pa on a nickel of radius 0.0106 m. how much force does the press exert on the coin?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

1.13 x 10⁵N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure of the coin press = 3.2 x 10⁸ Pa

radius of the nickel coin = 0.0106m

Unknown:

Force of the press on coil = ?

Solution:

Our knowledge of pressure will help us solve this problem.

Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area on a body.

              Pressure  = \frac{force}{area}

  Force = Pressure  x  Area

 Since the pressure is known;

Area of the coin = Area of a circle = π r²

 where r is the radius of the coin;

Area of the coin = π x 0.0106²  = 3.53 x 10⁻⁴m²

  Force = 3.2 x 10⁸ x  3.53 x 10⁻⁴  = 1.13 x 10⁵N
