A high speed train is traveling at a speed of 44.7 m/s when the engineer sounds the 415 Hz warning horn. The speed of sound is 3

43 m/s. What is the wavelength of the sound, as perceived by the person standing at a crossing when the train is a) approaching and b) find the frequency when leaving the crossing?

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of the source of sound = v = 44.7 m/s

Speed of sound = V = 343 m/s

a) Apparent  frequency as the train approaches = f =  [V /(V -v) ] × f

= [343 / (343 - 44.7) ] × 415  = 477.18 Hz

Wave length =  λ = v / f = 343 / 477.18 = 0.719 m

b) Frequency heard as the train leaves = f ' =  [V / ( V + v) ] f

                                                                     = [343 / { 343 + 44.7 ) ] x 415

                                                                      = 367.2 Hz

Wavelength when leaving = v / f = 343 / 367.2 = 0.934 m

Which of the following can be computed?
Musya8 [376]
Answer: only the third option. [Vector A] dot [vector B + vector C]

The dot between the vectors mean that the operation to perform is the "scalar product", alson known as "dot product".

This operation is only defined between two vectors, not one scalar and one vector.

When you perform, in the first option, the dot product of any ot the first and the second vectors you get a scalar, then you cannot make the dot product of this result with the third vector.

For the second option, when you perform the dot product of vectar B with vector C you get a scalar, then you cannot make the dot product ot this result with the vector A.

The third option indicates that you sum the vectors B and C, whose result is a vector and later you make the dot product of this resulting vector with the vector A. Operation valid.

The fourth option indicates the dot product of a scalar with the vector A, which we already explained that is not defined.

The assumption that the cosmic microwave background
is the remnant of the environment at the time of the big bang
or very shortly after it explains very well what we observe now. 
So it is the current prevailing theory. "Believe" is not involved.

Which expression is equivalent to g−m ÷ gn?
Vinvika [58]

<u>Answer</u>

(g²n - m)/(gm)


<u>Explanation</u>

g - m ÷ gn = g - m/gn  

Make the equation have the same denominator

  g - m ÷ gn = g - m/gn    = (ggn)/gn  - m/gn

                                          = (g²n)/gn - m/gm

Since they have the same denominator, we can carry out the subtraction on the numerator and then put them under one denominator.

                                      (g²n)/gn - m/gm  = (g²n - m)/(gm)
