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

An object is attached to a hanging unstretched, ideal and massless spring and slowly lowered to its equilibrium position, a dist
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

10.6cm

Explanation:

We are given 5.3cm below the starting point (spring extension).

Therefore, to find static vertical equilibrium, we use the equation:

kx = mg

Where:

k = spring constant =

=mg/5.3 kg/s²

We are told the object was dropped from rest.

Therefore:

loss in potential energy = gain in spring p.e

Let's use the expression:

mgx = ½kx²

We are asked to find the stretch at maximum elongation x.

To find x, we make x subject of the formula.

Therefore, we have:

x = 2mg/k (after rearranging the equation above)

x = (2mg) / (mg/5.3)

x = 10.6cm
