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

Could an<br> average star, such as our<br> sun, become a neutron star?<br> Explain your answer.
larisa86 [58]
<span>No. Neutron stars are the remnants of very large stars that have supernova'd. Anything below 1.44 solar masses becomes a dwarf, anything above 5 solar masses becomes a black hole. Everything in between becomes a neutron star (or quark star, but it's not proven).</span>

Use Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation to calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force between a 200 kg refrigerator an
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

From newton' s law of universal gravitation,

F = Gmm'/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the person and the refrigerator, m = mass of the person, m' = mass of the refrigerator, r = distance between the person and the refrigerator. G = gravitational universal constant.

Given: m = 70 kg, m' = 200 kg, r = 0.5 m

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg².

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹×70×200)/0.5²

F = 93380×10⁻¹¹/0.25

F = 373520×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Hence the force between the person and the refrigerator =  3.735×10⁻⁶ N
