In one of the original Doppler experiments, a tuba was played at a frequency of 64.0 Hz on a moving flat train car, and a second

identical tuba played the same tone while at rest in the railway station. What beat frequency was heard in the station if the train car approached the station at a speed of 8.50 m/s?

Answer:

 f_{beat} = 1.64\ Hz

Explanation:

given,

frequency of tuba.f = 64 Hz

Speed of train approaching, v = 8.50 m/s

beat frequency = ?

using Doppler's effect formula

 f' = f(\dfrac{v}{v-v_s})

v_s is the velocity of the source

v is the speed of sound, v = 340 m/s

now,

 f' = 64\times (\dfrac{340}{340 - 8.50})

       f' = 65.64 Hz

now, beat frequency is equal to

 f_{beat} = f' - f

 f_{beat} = 65.64 - 64

 f_{beat} = 1.64\ Hz

hence, beat frequency is equal to 1.64 Hz

What kind of light would be the best to use to look inside a cold dark cloud and see the warm stars forming inside?
lys-0071 [83]
<h2>Answer: Infrared light</h2>

A dark nebula is a cloud of dust and cold gas, which does not emit visible light and hides the stars it contains.

These types of nebulae are composed mainly of the hydrogen they obtain from nearby stars, which is their fuel.

It is using infrared light that we can "observe" and analyze in detail what happens in the inner parts of these nebulae.

How does the time at which you see things happen at a baseball game compare to the time when you hear things happen? Explain you
hoa [83]

Answer:

Because of the speed of the sound.

Explanation:

The first thing that happens in such cases is to take into account the speed of the sound. First, we see that the player hits the ball with the bat, if we are in the stands far enough we will hear the sound of the batting time later, this time depends on the speed of the sound which is equal to 345 [m/s].

Another visible and practical example is a fireworks display, where people nearby immediately hear the explosion. while those at a great distance will be able to see first the explosion followed by the sound.

With the following equation, we can calculate how long it takes to hear a hit or explosion

t = x / v

where:

x = distance [m]

v = sound velocity = 345 [m/s]

t = time [s]

Where would a new neuron come from
erica [24]
Neurogenesis does not occur everywhere in the brain but is evident in the hippocampus and olfactory bulb and perhaps in the cerebral cortex. New neurons are born not from mature nerve cells but rather develop from neural stem cells that remain in our brains throughout life.

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?
Bumek [7]
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.
