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

Physics double pivot question​
andriy [413]

Explanation:

Assuming the wall is frictionless, there are four forces acting on the ladder.

Weight pulling down at the center of the ladder (mg).

Reaction force pushing to the left at the wall (Rw).

Reaction force pushing up at the foot of the ladder (Rf).

Friction force pushing to the right at the foot of the ladder (Ff).

(a) Calculate the reaction force at the wall.

Take the sum of the moments about the foot of the ladder.

∑τ = Iα

Rw (3.0 sin 60°) − mg (1.5 cos 60°) = 0

Rw (3.0 sin 60°) = mg (1.5 cos 60°)

Rw = mg / (2 tan 60°)

Rw = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (2√3)

Rw = 28 N

(b) State the friction at the foot of the ladder.

Take the sum of the forces in the x direction.

∑F = ma

Ff − Rw = 0

Ff = Rw

Ff = 28 N

(c) State the reaction at the foot of the ladder.

Take the sum of the forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

Rf − mg = 0

Rf = mg

Rf = 98 N
