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.

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 7.00×10−10 m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 2.823 x 10¹⁷ m/s²

The acceleration of the electron is 5.175 x 10²⁰ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the electron and proton, r = 7 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

mass of proton, m_p = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

mass of electron, m_e = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The attractive force between the two charges is given by Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2}

where;

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²

F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(9*10^9)(1.602*10^{-19})(1.602*10^{-19})}{(7*10^{-10})^2} \\\\F = 4.714 *10^{-10} \ N

Acceleration of proton is given by;

F = ma

F = m_pa_p\\\\a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}\\\\a_p = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a_p = 2.823 *10^{17} \ m/s^2

Acceleration of the electron is given by;

F = m_ea_e\\\\a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}\\\\a_e = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{9.11*10^{-31}}\\\\a_e = 5.175 *10^{20} \ m/s^2
