A train is moving past a crossing where cars are waiting for it to pass. While waiting, the driver of the lead car becomes sleep

y and rests his head on the steering wheel, unintentionally activating the car's horn. A passenger in the back of the train hears the horn's sound at a frequency of 433 Hz and a passenger in the front hears it at 411 Hz.
Find the train's speed and the horn's frequency, assuming the sound travels along the tracks. Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.

Answer:

a) 8.94 m/s

b) 422 Hz

Explanation:

The horns frequency F(g) is given by

F(g) = (411 +433) / 2

F(g) = 844 / 2

F(g) = 422 Hz

The speed is the train is given by

F(r) = [V(s) + V(r)] / [V(s) + V(g)] * F(g)

Where,

F(r) = 433 Hz

F(g) = 422 Hz

V(s) = 343 m/s

V(g) = 0 m/s

V(r) = velocity of train

433 = [V(s) + V(r)] / [V(s) + V(g)] * F(g)

[343 + V(r)] / [343 + 0] * 422 = 433

[343 + V(r)] * 422 = 148519

343 + V(r) = 351.94

V(r) = 351.94 - 343

V(r) = 8.94 m/s

Therefore, the Velocity of receiver(train) is 8.94 m/s

A planet is discovered orbiting the star 51 Peg with a period of four days (0.01 years). 51 Peg has the same mass as the Sun. Me
artcher [175]

Answer:

Less than Mercury's

Explanation:

According to third Kepler's law, the square of the planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the average orbital radius of the planet's orbit. The constant of proportionality depends only on the mass of the star, recall that 51 Peg has the same mass as the Sun. Since the orbital period of this planet is less than Mercury's, its average orbital radius is less than Mercury's.

What kind of energy change occurs when a battery is operating a remote control toy?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C.

When the battery is operating a remote control toy the energy is converted from potential energy to the kinetic energy.

A battery stores electrical potential from the chemical reaction.

When the circuit is connected to the potential energy of the battery helps in the movement of the toy.

The energy produced by the movement of the control toy is kinetic energy.

Hence, we can say that Potential energy is changed to kinetic energy

A basketball rolls without slipping (starting from rest) down a ramp. If the ramp is sloped by an angle of 4 degrees above the h
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

11.7 m/s

Explanation:

To find its speed, we first find the acceleration of the center of mass of a rolling object is given by

a = gsinθ/(1 + I/MR²) where θ = angle of slope = 4, I = moment of inertia of basketball = 2/3MR²

a = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3MR²/MR²)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4 × (5/3)

  = 1.14 m/s²

To find its speed v after rolling for 60 m, we use

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed = 0 (since it starts from rest), s = 60 m

v = √(u² + 2as) = √(0² + 2 × 1.14 m/s × 60 m) = √136.8 = 11.7 m/s
