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

The two-second rule applies to any speed __________ A. in all weather conditions. B. in ideal weather and road conditions. C. in
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

A large risk of tailgating is the collision avoidance time being much less than the driver reaction time. Driving instructors advocate that drivers always use the "two-second rule" regardless of speed or the type of road. During adverse weather, downhill slopes, or hazardous conditions such as black ice, it is important to maintain an even greater distance.

A wave is moving at 18 m/s. If its wavelength is 3 meters, what is its frequency?
Vlada [557]

here's the solution,

we know that,

=》

wave \: speed = wavelength \times frequency

so,

=》

18 = 3 \times f

=》

f =  \dfrac{18}{3}

=》

f = 6

frequency = 6 hertz

A hot cube of iron was heated up using 1500 J of thermal energy and was placed in a beaker of water. Before it was heated, the i
Mariana [72]

Answer:

451.13 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)............... Equation 1

Where Q = Heat, c = specific heat capacity of iron, m = mass of iron, t₂= Final temperature, t₁ = initial temperature.

Make c the subject of the equation

c = Q/m(t₂-t₁).............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 1500 J, m = 133 g = 0.113 kg, t₁ = 20 °C, t₂ = 45 °C

Substitute these values into equation 2

c = 1500/[0.133(45-20)]

c = 1500/(0.133×25)

c = 1500/3.325

c = 451.13 J/kg.°C

The format specifier ________ is a placeholder for an int value. %d %n %int %s
Grace [21]

%d is a format specifier that is a placeholder for an int value. It tells the compiler that we want to print an integer value that is present in variable a. In this way there are several format specifiers in c.
