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 more particles a substance has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has.
olasank [31]
The statement '<span>The more particles a substance has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has' is true. </span><span>The kinetic molecular theory of gases has three main laws and one of them is the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is the behavior and movement it does in the surroundings. It is directly proportional to temperature wherein if you increase the temperature, the kinetic energy of a particle also increases. It will also decrease its movement or its kinetic energy if the temperature lowers. </span>

An eagle flying at 35 m/s emits a cry whose frequency is 440 Hz. A blackbird is moving in the same direction as the eagle at 10
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

a)  F=475.7Hz

b)  F'=410.899Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity of eagle V_1=35m/s

Frequency of eagle F_1=440Hz

Velocity of Black bird V_2=10m/s

Speed of sound s=343m/s

a)

Generally the equation for Frequency is mathematically given by

 F=f_0(\frac{v-v_2}{v-v_1})

 F=440(\frac{343-10}{343-35})

 F=475.7Hz

b)

Generally the equation for Frequency is mathematically given by

 F'=f_0(\frac{v+v_2}{v+v_1})

 F'=440(\frac{343+10}{343+35})

 F'=410.899Hz

How is velocity different from speed?
enyata [817]

Velocity, unlike speed, includes a direction.

Velocity is a vector quantity which is defined by magnitude and direction.

Speed is a scalar quantity. It is the rate at which an object moves regardless of which direction.

An object is acted upon by a force of 22 newtons to the right and a force of 13 newtons to the left. What is the magnitude and d
ale4655 [162]
<span>An object is acted upon by a force of 22 newtons to the right and a force of 13 newtons to the left.

(1)  22 N to the right
(2) 13 N to the left.

magnitude = 22 - 13
magnitude = 9

Direction would be to the right.

So magnitude is 9N direction to the right.</span>
