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 .

How would electron domains impact the magnetism of the substance?
Vanyuwa [196]
Magnetic domain structure is responsible for the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, cobalt and their alloys, and ferrimagnetic materials like ferrite. ... Magnetic domains form in materials which have magnetic ordering; that is, their dipoles spontaneously align due to the exchange interaction.

A student's life was saved in an automobile accident because an airbag expanded in front of his head. If the car had not been eq
dexar [7]

Answer:    

Compared to windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force  

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as change in momentum of the object when it is acted upon by a force during interval of time

<em>Impulse = Impulsive force *time</em>

I = F*Δt

If the object should be bought to rest from certain velocity there should be change in momentum. If the duration in which the momentum is increased then there would be less force applied and hence less damage.

Airbags are used to reduce the force experience by the people when they are met with accident by extending the time required to stop the momentum.

During the collision, the passenger is carried towards the<em> windshield</em> and if they are stopped by collision with wind shield the force will be larger and more damage.But if they are hit with airbag then the force will be less due to increased time.

The change is momentum will be the same with or without momentum but its the time that decides the impact of force.By making it longer the force become less.

<em>Thus compared to the windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force.</em>

Calculate the speed of a car that travels a distance of 2.4km in 2 minutes ​
hammer [34]

Answer:

72 kilometres per hour

Explanation:

The formula for calculating speed is distance/time.

So to work this out you would convert 2 minutes into hours. You would divide 2 by 60 to convert it into hours. This is because the standard unit for speed with kilometres is kilometres per hour. Then  you would divide 2.4 by that.

1)Divide 2 by 60:

2/60=0.0333333

2) Divide 2.4 by 0.0333333.

2.4/0.0333333=72.00007

3) Round it.

72km/h
