Two trains are traveling on the same track and in the same direction. The first train, which is behind the second train, blows a

horn whose frequency is 269 Hz. The second train detects a frequency of 290 Hz. If the speed of the second train is 13.7 m/s, what is the speed of the first train?

Answer:

37.545 m/s

Explanation:

f' = Actual frequency of horn = 269 Hz

f = Observed frequency of horn = 290 Hz

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

v_0 = Speed of second train = 13.7 m/s

v_s = Speed of first train

From Doppler effect we have

f=f'\dfrac{v-v_0}{v-v_s}\\\Rightarrow v_s=v-\dfrac{f'}{f}(v-v_0)\\\Rightarrow v_s=343-\dfrac{269}{290}(343-13.7)\\\Rightarrow v_s=37.545\ m/s

The speed of the first train is 37.545 m/s

A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 220 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. What mass of fuel is n
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let fuel is released at the rate of dm / dt where m is mass of the fuel

thrust created on rocket

= d ( mv ) / dt

= v dm / dt

this is equal to force created on the rocket

= 220 dv / dt

so applying newton's law

v dm / dt = 220 dv / dt

v dm = 220 dv

dv / v = dm / 220

integrating on both sides

∫ dv / v    = ∫ dm / 220

lnv =  ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

ln4000 - ln 2500 = ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( ln4000 - ln 2500 )

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( 8.29  - 7.82 )

= 103.4 kg .

A 200-foot tall monument is located in the distance. From a window in a building, a person determines that the angle of elevatio
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

665 ft

Explanation:

Let d be the distance from the person to the monument. Note that d is perpendicular to the monument and would make 2 triangles with the monuments, 1 up and 1 down.

The side length of the up right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of elevation is 13 degrees is

dtan13^0 = 0.231d

Similarly, the side length of the down right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of depression is 4 degrees

dtan4^0 = 0.07d

Since the 2 sides length above make up the 200 foot monument, their total length is

0.231d + 0.07d = 200

0.301 d = 200

d = 200 / 0.301 = 665 ft
