Two train whistles have identical frequencies of 1.85 102 Hz. When one train is at rest in the station and the other is moving n

earby, a commuter standing on the station platform hears beats with a frequency of 8.00 beats/s when the whistles operate together. What are the two possible speeds that the moving train can have

Answer:

Explanation:

frequency of whistle = 1.85 x 10² = 185 Hz

frequency of beat heard = 8 beat /s . No of beat produced is equal to difference of frequencies of two sound source . Here difference is created due to Doppler effect . One of the train is moving so it will have apparent frequency which is different one from its original frequency .

When the moving train is approaching the observer , its frequency will be higher . As beat is heard at the rate of 8 beats / s , apparent frequency of approaching train will be 185 + 8 = 193 Hz .

Applying Doppler's formula of apparent frequency ,

193 = 185 x V / ( V - v ) , where V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of train .

193 V - 193 v = 185 V

193 v = 8 V

v = 8 x V / 193

= 8 x 343 / 193

= 14.21 m /s

Second possibility is that apparent velocity is less ie 185 - 8 = 177 Hz

In that case moving train will be moving away from observer . If its velocity be v

177 = 185 x V / ( V + v )

177 V + 177 v = 185 V

v = 8 x 343 / 177

= 15.50 m /s .

A 2-kW electric heater takes 15 min to boil a quantity of water. If this is done once a day and power costs 10 cents per kWh, wh
frozen [14]

Answer:

<h2> $1.50</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

power P= 2 kW

time t= 15 min to hours = 15/60= 1/4 h

cost of power consumption per kWh= 10 cent = $0.1

We are expected to compute the cost of operating the heater for 30 days

but let us computer the energy consumption for one day

Energy of heater  for one day= 2* 1/4 = 0.5 kWh

the cost of operating the heater for 30 days= 0.5*0.1*30= $1.50

<u><em>Hence it will cost  $1.50 for 30 days operation</em></u>

What is horoscope? what is its uses
Lemur [1.5K]
What is horoscope?
A forecast of a person's future, typically including delineation of character and circumstances, based on the relative positions of the stars and planets at the time of that person's birth.

   *
A short forecast for people born under a particular sign, especially as published in a newspaper or magazine.
 
    *
A birth chart.
 

What is its uses?
It can also be calculated for an event, a question, and even a country. Symbols are used to represent planets, signs, and geometric connections called aspects. In most cases, the horoscope in Western astrology is drawn on a circular wheel.

Why do resistors have tolerance?
MariettaO [177]
Machines capable of manufacturing exactly the same component time after time,
with exactly the resistance you want, would be very expensive, and so would the
products they turn out.  A resistor would cost a dollar instead of a few pennies.
The machine itself, and its output, work within tolerances.

The cheapest mass-produced resistors are guaranteed to be within 20% above
or below the resistance marked on them.  And you know what ?  For most bench-
work and prototyping, that's usually close enough.

If a projectile is fired straight up at a speed of 10 m/s, the time it takes to reach the top of its path is about
UNO [17]

Answer:

A. The time it takes the projectile to reach the top of its path is about 1 second.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the velocity of a projectile fired straight up is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

v = velocity of the projectile.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (≅ -9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

t = time.

When the projectile reaches the top of its path, its velocity is zero, then, using the equation of velocity, we can solve it for the time:

v = v0 + g · t

0 = 10 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

t = -10 m/s / -9.8 m/s²

t = 1.0 s

The time it takes the projectile to reach the top of its path is about 1 second.

When driving straight down the highway at a constant velocity you have to give the engine a little gas (which means an added ext
Alona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

This does not violate Newton's 1st law because the net force would still be 0 in order to produce uniform motion (aka constant velocity). The other forces acting on the vehicles is air resistance which is non-zero. So we need car internal force to counter balance this force, which require extra gas for the car.
