Answer:

The maximum reaction time is approximately 13 seconds

Explanation:

In order to answer this problem let's start by converting the speed of the ranger's vehicle from miles per hour into feet per second, knowing that 1 mile is the same as 5280 ft and i hour is 3600 seconds:

11.8\,  \frac{mi}{h} =11.8 \,\frac{5280\,ft}{3600\,s} \approx 17.3\,\frac{ft}{s}

Now, with this information, we set the equation for the amount of time needed to reduce the speed from 17.3 ft/s to full stop (0 ft/s):

v_f-v_i=-9.18 \,t\\0-17.3=-9.18\,t\\t=\frac{17.3}{9.18} \,s\\t\approx 1.88\,s

Now, the space covered during these 1.88 s when the vehicle reaches full stop while it decelerates is calculated via:

x_f-x_i=v_i\,t + \frac{1}{2} a\,t^2\\x_f-x_i=17.3\,t-\frac{9.18}{2} \,t^2\\x_f-x_i=17.3\,(1.88)-4.59\,(1.88)^2\\x_f-x_i=16.3\,ft

So, the maximum amount of time the ranger has to react and press the break while driving at 17.3 ft/s is the time to cover 242 ft minus 16.3 ft = 225.7 ft

During 225.7 ft the ranger could be driving in uniform motion (with speed 17.3 ft per second), we find the time to cover such:

x_f-x_i=v_i\,t\\225.7 = 17.3\,t\\t= \frac{225.7}{17.3} \\t\approx 13\, seconds

A train is traveling at 30.0 m/sm/s relative to the ground in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the train whistle
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer

given,

speed of sound = 344 m/s

speed of train = 30 m/s

frequency emitted by the train = 262 Hz

   Doppler's effect

    f_L = \dfrac{v + v_L}{v + v_s}\ f_S

f_L is the frequency of listener

f_S is the frequency of the source of the sound

v is the speed of the sound

v_L is the speed of listener.

v_S is the speed of the source

a) Speed of the passenger in another train , v = 18 m/s

   another train is moving in opposite direction and approaching

   v_L is positive as the listener is moving forward.

    v_S is negative at the source is moving toward the listener.

      f_L = \dfrac{344 + 18}{344 - 30}\times 262

     f_L = 302\ Hz

b) Speed of the passenger in another train , v = 18 m/s

   another train is moving in opposite direction and receding

    v_L is negative as the listener is moving away from source.

    v_S is positive at the source is moving away the listener.

      f_L = \dfrac{344 - 18}{344 + 30}\times 262

     f_L = 228.37\ Hz
