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 1kg cart slams into a stationary 1kg cart at 2 m/s. The carts stick together and move forward at a speed of 1 m/sl. Determine
finlep [7]

Answer:

No, it is not conserved

Explanation:

Let's calculate the total kinetic energy before the collision and compare it with the total kinetic energy after the collision.

The total kinetic energy before the collision is:

K_i = K_1 + K_2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2=\frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(2 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(0)^2=2 J

where m1 = m2 = 1 kg are the masses of the two carts, v1=2 m/s is the speed of the first cart, and where v2=0 is the speed of the second cart, which is zero because it is stationary.

After the collision, the two carts stick together with same speed v=1 m/s; their total kinetic energy is

K_f = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2=\frac{1}{2}(1 kg+1kg)(1 m/s)^2=1 J

So, we see that the kinetic energy was not conserved, because the initial kinetic energy was 2 J while the final kinetic energy is 1 J. This means that this is an inelastic collision, in which only the total momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy does not violate the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the energy lost has simply been converted into another form of energy, such as heat, during the collision.
