As you stand near a railroad track, a train passes by at a speed of 31.7 m/s while sounding its horn at a frequency of 218 Hz. W

hat frequency do you hear as the train approaches you and what frequency while it recedes?

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of train horn, f = 218 Hz

Speed of train, v_t = 31.7 m/s

The speed of sound, V = 344 m/s (say)

The speed of the observed person, V_o=0\ m/s

(a) When the train approaches you, the Doppler's effect gives the frequency as follows :

f'=f(\dfrac{V}{V-v_t})\\\\f'=218\times (\dfrac{344}{344-31.7})\\\\f'=240.12\ Hz

(b) When the train moves away from you, the Doppler's effect gives the frequency as follows :

f'=f(\dfrac{V}{V+v_t})\\\\f'=218\times (\dfrac{344}{344+31.7})\\\\f'=199.6\ Hz

Hence, this is the required solution.

Some lenses are shaped with one flat side and one spherically-shaped side. This shape is designed to focus parallel light rays o
Komok [63]

Answer:

Some lenses are used to focus light to a pre-defined point based on the amount of curvature of their surfaces.

In a piano design convex, some surfaces are flat while others has positive lenses (biconvex)

Explanation:

Solution

These lenses are applied to pay attention to light in a  point pre-defined  based on the amount of curvature of their surfaces.

For that of a plano-convex design, one surface has a positive curve and for biconvex lenses, both surfaces are positively curved while the other  remains flat.

when used practically, plano-convex lenses are most commonly used where the object being imaged is far apart from lens.

Weight of a man is less at coal mine.Why?
dmitriy555 [2]
If someone is underground, then therefore there is less planet/ground underneath them, so there would be less gravity. Gravity directly affects weight.

A mass of 30.0 grams hangs at rest from the lower end of a long vertical spring. You add different amounts of additional mass ΔM
ra1l [238]

Answer:

K = 373.13 N/m

Explanation:

The force of the spring is equals to:

Fe - m*g = 0     =>    Fe = m*g

Using Hook's law:

K*X = m*g    Solving for K:

K = m/X * g

In this equation, m/X is the inverse of the given slope. So, using this value we can calculate the spring's constant:

K = 10 / 0.0268 = 373.13N/m

Conduction transfers Thermal energy by
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. The better the conductor, the more rapidly heat will be transferred. Metal is a good conduction of heat. Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more.
