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.

HOW MANY SIGNIFICANT FIGURES ARE THERE IN THE NUMBER 405,000?
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Three, but see below.

Explanation:

You can be certain of three, but that may not be true at all. The only way to know for certain is to put it into scientific notation.

4.05 * 10^5 would be three, but other answers are possible. For example

4.050 * 10^5 would have 4.

A typical atom has a diameter of about 1.32 x 10-10 m. (a) what is this in inches (b) approximately how many atoms arethere alon
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

A ) 5.197 \times 10 ^{-9} inches

b) There are approximately 100,000,000 atoms on the 1.32 cm lines

Explanation:

To ensure the accuracy of our answer, we will have to make sure we work in the appropriate units.

A

To convert    1.32 \times 10^{-10}   m to inches, we can use this factor.

1 m = 39.3701 inches

Therefore 1.32 \times 10^{-10}   m =  

B

To find the number of atoms on a 1.32 cm line, we will first of all need to convert 1.32 cm to meters.

1.32 cm = 0.0132 metres (divided 1.32 by 100 to convert to metres)

Assuming all the atoms are arranged side by side, with their edges touching on the 0.0132m line, the number of atoms present will be

0.0132/1.32\times 10^{-10} = 100,000,000 atoms

Which best describes a spontaneous process as it relates to the second law of thermodynamics? It destroys heat.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Having in mind that a spontaneous process is capable of proceeding in a given direction without needing to be driven by an outside source of energy, then it must occur naturaly. This is actually spontaneous. Also take into account that in order to define a spontaneous pattern we need to state  no work performed on the system or on the surroundings.
