An alert physics student stands beside the tracks as a train rolls slowly past. He notes that the frequency of the train whistle

is 452 Hz when the train is approaching him and 442 Hz when the train is receding from him. Using these frequencies, he calculates the speed of the train. What value does he find

Answer:The velocity of the train is 3.84m/s

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect, if the source is moving towards you then the apparent frequency of the sound emitted by the source is higher and if the source is moving away from you then the apparent frequency of the sound emitted by the source is smaller.

This is given by:

fo = V +-Vo/ V +-Vo × source

Where fo= observed frequency

V= velocity of sound

Vo= vo it of the observer

fsource= frequency the source

Given:

Observed frequency of the approaching train fo1= 452Hz

The observed frequency of train= fo2= 442Hz

Velocity of sound= 334m/s

Velocity of source=?

Train approaching the observer is given by:

fo1= V/(V - Vs)× source ...eq1

Train passes the student is given by:

fo2= V/(V - Vs)×source ...eq2

Divide eq1 by eq2

452/442 = (343+Vs)/(343 - Vs)

1.02 =(343+Vs)/(343 -Vs)

Cross multiply

1.02(343- Vs) = 343 + Vs

350.76 - 1.02Vs = 343 + Vs

Collecting like terms

350.76 -343= 1.02Vs+ Vs

7.76 = 2.02Vs

Vs= 7.76/2.02

Vs= 3.84m/s

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

According to the formula

  • \\ \boxed{\sf R=\rho\dfrac{\ell}{A}}

So

If we use wide wire we increase the area of cross section so resistance decreases

A student pushes on a 8-kg box with a force of 35 N forward. The force of sliding friction is 10 N backward. What is the acceler
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(35 N - 10 N)/8kg = 3.125 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula for Force is:

Force = Mass*Acceleration

(Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration)

Since we're told to find the acceleration of the box. We make acceleration the subject of the equation:

Acceleration = Force/Mass

(Acceleration equal to Force divided by Mass)

We know that the force are 35 N forward and 10 N backward, and the weight of the box is 8kg.

= (35 N - 10 N)/8kg

The reason that 35 N minus 10 N is because the 10 N is pushing the box backward.

= 25 N/8kg

= 3.125 m/s^2

Hope it helps :DD

What is the fundamental frequency (in Hz) of a 0.632 m long tube, open at both ends, on a day when the speed of sound is 344 m/s
Greeley [361]

Answer:

f=272.15Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Length of tube L=0.632 m

Speed of sound v=344 m/s

To find

Fundamental frequency f

Solution

The fundamental frequency of the tube can be given as:

f=\frac{v}{2L}\\ f=\frac{344m/s}{2(0.632m)}\\ f=272.15Hz
