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

To understand the nature of electric fields and how to draw field lines. Electric field lines are a tool used to visualize elect
Brrunno [24]

Explanation:

The electric field is defined as the change in the properties of space caused by the existence of a positively (+) or negatively (-) charged particle. The electric field can be represented by infinitely many lines from a particle, and those lines never intersect each other. Depending on the type of charge we can see different cases:

  • Let's say we have a <u>positive charge alone (</u>image 1)<u>.</u> The field lines are drawn from the centre of the particle outwards to infinity (in other words, they disappear from the edge of the picture). Meaning the direction of the electric field points outwards the particle.
  • For a <u>negative charge alone </u>(image 2)<u>,</u> the lines come from infinity to the centre, and point towards the particle (i.e. lines appear from the edge of the picture).

Let's see what happens if we have two charges together:

  • <u>Two positive charges</u> (image 3): Since the charges are of the same type (positive), the particles repel each other. Then the field lines will avoid each other so they do not join. The charge is positive, so lines point outwards.
  • <u>Two negative charges</u> (image 4): Again, the charges are both negative, so they repel. But they are negative, so the field points inwards.
  • <u>Negative and positive charges</u> (image 5): They are different charges, so the force between them is attractive. This causes the field lines from both to join. They go out of the positive and come into the negative particle.

Image 6:

The lines are passing through infinite points of the space. If we choose a certain point and measure the electric field, we can see to which direction the electric field points. This is the direction of the electric field vector. It does not matter which point we choose; the electric field vector touches the field line only at this point, which means it is tangent to the field line.

An elevator cab and its load have a combined mass of 1600 kg. Find the tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally
amid [387]

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab originally moves downward is 18422.4 N

What is tension?

Tension is described as the pulling force by the means of a three-dimensional object.

Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.

Here,

m =combined mass = 1600 kg

s = Displacement of the elevator = 42 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 12 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

According to the equation of motion:

v^{2} - u^{2} = 2as

0 - 12^2 = 2*a*42

a = - 144 / 84

a = - 1.714 m/s^2

Now let's write the equation of the forces acting on the elevator. Taking upward as positive direction:

T-mg = ma

T = m(g-a)

T = 1600 ( 9.8-(-1.74))

T=18422.4 N

Hence,

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally moving downward is 18422.4 N
