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

A car traveling in a straight line has a velocity of 6m/s at some instant. After 6.32s its velocity is 13.2m/s . What is the ave
NeX [460]
Average acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Average acceleration  =  (13.2 - 6) / (6.32) = 7.2 / 6.32 = about  <em>1.139... m/s²</em> .
