A train moving at a constant speed is passing a stationary observer on a platform. On one of the train cars, a flute player is c

ontinually playing the note known as concert A (f = 440 Hz). After the flute has passed, the observer hears the sound with a frequency of 415 Hz. What is the speed of the train? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply the formula of Doppler effect here

F( APPARENT) = F( REAL ) X V/(V + Vs) [ v is velocity of sound and Vs is velocity of source.

415 = 440 X 343/343+Vs

142345 + 415Vs = 150920

415 V₀ = 8575

V₀ = 20.66 m/s.

What object best represents a true scale model of the shape of earth?
BabaBlast [244]
Any object that is spherical in shape would best represent a true scale model of the shape of the Earth. Examples are ping pong balls, billiard balls, marble and other smooth spherical objects. The shape of the Earth is called the oblate spheroid. The "oblate" would refer to an oblong shape and "spheroid" would refer to an almost spherical shape. The earth has on almost spherical shape and has a slightly oblong appearance. The diameter from the South pole to the north pole was measured to have a value of 12714 km while the diameter of the equator is approximately 12756 km. As you can see, the values are not equal. This makes the earth not a perfect sphere.

A father racing his son has 1/3 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/4 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.5 m
Feliz [49]

Explanation:

Let the speeds of father and son are v_f\ and\ v_s. The kinetic energies of father and son are K_f\ and\ K_s. The mass of father and son are  m_f\ and\ m_s

(a) According to given conditions, K_f=\dfrac{1}{3}K_s

And m_s=\dfrac{1}{4}m_f

Kinetic energy of father is given by :

K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m_fv_f^2.............(1)

Kinetic energy of son is given by :

K_s=\dfrac{1}{2}m_sv_s^2...........(2)

From equation (1), (2) we get :

\dfrac{v_f^2}{v_s^2}=\dfrac{1}{12}..............(3)

If the speed of father is speed up by 1.5 m/s, so the ratio of kinetic energies is given by :

\dfrac{K_f}{K_s}=\dfrac{1/2m_f(v_f+1.5)^2}{1/2m_sv_s^2}

v_s^2=4(v_f+1.5)^2

Using equation (3) in above equation, we get :

v_f=\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt3-1}=2.04\ m/s

(b) Put the value of v_f in equation (3) as :

v_s=7.09\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Example sentence for gravitational potential energy
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object falling loses gravitational potential energy and gains kinetic energy. The gravity potential is the gravitational potential energy per unit mass. This energy comes from the gravitational potential energy released when the water falls. ... At 0, all the energy is in gravitational potential energy.
