A high speed train is traveling at a speed of 44.7 m/s (100 mph) when the engineer sounds the 415 Hz warning horn. The speed of

sound is 343 m/s. What are the frequency and wavelength of the sound, as perceived by a person standing at a crossing when the train is (a) approaching and (b) leaving the crossing

Answer:

a) When the train is approaching the frequency is 477.19 Hz and the wavelenght is 0.719 m

b) When the train is leaving the crossing the frequency is 367.152 Hz and the wavelenght is 0.934 m

Explanation:

Given data:

v = speed of the train = 44.7 m/s

V = speed of the sound = 343 m/s

f = frequency of sound = 415 Hz

a) If the train is approaching, the frequency is:

$f_{ap} =f(\frac{V}{V-v} )=415(\frac{343}{343-44.7} )=477.19Hz$

The wavelength is:

$w=\frac{V}{f_{ap} } =\frac{343}{477.19} =0.719m$

b) If the train leaves the crossing, the frequency is:

$f_{le} =f(\frac{V}{V+v} )=415(\frac{343}{343+44.7} )=367.152Hz$

The wavelength is:

$w=\frac{V}{f_{le} } =\frac{343}{367.152} =0.934m$

Explanation:

3)

The work done by a force acting an object is given by:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where :

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

When the force is applied perpendicular to the direction of motion,

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

Therefore, the work done is:

$W=Fd(cos 90^{\circ})=0$

4)

The kinetic energy of a body is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the girl in this problem, we have

m = 40 kg

v = 3 m/s

Therefore her kinetic energy is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(40)(3)^2=180 J$

5)

The potential energy of an object is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass

$g=10 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

For the ball in this problem,

m = 0.4 kg

h = 30 m

So, the potential energy is

$PE=(0.4)(10)(30)=120 J$

6)

A conservative field is a field for which the work done by the field on an object does not depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final position of the object.

Gravitational and electric fields are examples of conservative fields. In fact:

When an object is pulled down by gravity (free fall), the work done by the gravitational field only depends on the change in height $\Delta h$ between the two points, not on the path taken during the fall
When an electric charge is pushed by the electric field, the work done by the field depends only on the initial and final position of the charge in the field

For any conservative field, it is possible to define a "potential" function, which represents the energy per unit mass/charge, and depends only on the position of the object.

Non-renewable energy sources are sources of energy whose rate of consumption is faster than the rate at which they are re-created. Examples of non-renewable sources are coal, oil, natural gas. These energy sources are consumed at a fast rate, while they take million of years to regenerate, so at the current rate they will eventually run out.
Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that replenish at faster rate than the rate at which it is consumed. Examples of renewable sources are solar energy, wind, hydroelectric power.

Therefore, the example of non-renewable energy in this case is

C. Coal

For an object pushed by a force F and moving at a constant velocity v, the power expended is given by

$P=Fv$

where F is the force and v is the velocity.

for the rocket in this problem, we have:

F = 10 N is the force propelling the rocket

v = 3000 m/s is its velocity

Substituting into the equation, we find the power expended:

$P=(10)(3000)=30,000 W = 3\cdot 10^4 W$

9.

The efficiency of a machine is given by

$\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}$

where

$W_{in}$ is the energy in input to the machine

$W_{out}$ is the useful work in output from the machine

For a real machine, the useful work in output is always lower than the energy input, because part of the energy is "wasted" and converted into thermal energy due to the presence of internal frictions. However, for an ideal machine, all the input energy is converted into useful work, so

$W_{out}=W_{in}$

And therefore the efficiency is

$\eta=1$

which means 100%.

10.

The velocity ratio of a block and tackle system is the ratio between the distance moved by the effort and the distance moved by the load.

$VR=\frac{d_{eff}}{d_{load}}$

In a block and tackle system, the velocity ratio is also equal to the number of pulleys in the system.

For the system in the problem, there are 5 pulleys: therefore, this means that when the effort moves 5 metres, the load moves 1 metres, therefore the velocity ratio is

$VR=\frac{5}{1}=5$

The graph below shows the position of an ant as it crawls over a flat picnic blanket. The total time for the ant to go from the

Mice21 [21]

The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

The correct answer is option D.

In the given graph, we can deduce the following;

the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s

The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

$average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time }$

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;

first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm

first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm

second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm

second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm

third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm

fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm

final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm

The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

$average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time } = \frac{29 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.276 \ cm/s$

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.

The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.

This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P

From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm

Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm

Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of line P.

↓end

↓

↓ 6cm

↓

start -------------13 cm------------

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

$P^2 = 6^2 + 13^2\\\\P^2 = 36 + 169\\\\P^2 = 205\\\\P= \sqrt{205} \\\\P = 14.318 \ cm$

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

$average \ velocity= \frac{\Delta displacemnt }{total\ time }= \frac{14.318 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.136 \ cm/s \\\\$

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.
