Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Doppler's effect to solve the problem .

Formula for apparent frequency for a source of sound approaching an observer is as follows .

f₁ = f₀ V / (V - v )

where f₁ and f₀ are apparent and real frequency of source , V and v is velocity of sound and velocity of approaching source respectively .

Putting the given values and knowing that speed of sound is 340 m /s

f₁ =346x 340 / (340 - 39.6 )

f₁ = 391.6 Hz

In case of receding train , the formula is

f₂ = f₀ V / (V + v )

Putting the values

f₂ = 346x 340 / (340 + 39.6 )

= 309.9 Hz

Change in frequency =  391.6 - 309.9

= 81.7 Hz .

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

This is a momentum question. Both cars are sitting still (v1 and v2 are both 0) to start with). When the spring is sprung), they both move but in opposite directions.

Let us say that v4 is minus.

Equation

0 = m3*v3 - m4* v4

Givens

m3 = 1750 kg

m4 = 1000 kg

v3 = 4 m/s

Solution

m3*4m/s - m4*x = 0

1750 * 4 - 1000*x = 0

1750 * 4 = 1000x

7000 = 1000 x

7000/1000 = x

x = 7 m/s

What is. the units of velocity
natta225 [31]

Speed and velocity are both measured using the same units. The SI unit of distance and displacement is the meter. The SI unit of time is the second. The SI unit of speed and velocity is the ratio of two — the meter per second.

An aircraft engine takes in 8950 J of heat and discards 6150 J each cycle. Part A)
Alborosie

Answer:

(a) 2800 J

(b) 31.28 %

Explanation:

Heat intake, Q1 = 8950 J

Heat discard, Q2 = 6150 J

(a) Work = intake heat energy - discarded heat energy

W = Q1 - Q2 = 8950 - 6150 = 2800 J

(b) Efficiency = 1 - Q2 / Q1

Efficiency = 1 - (6150 / 8950) = 0.3128 = 31.28%

PLEASE HELP!!! 20 PIONTS!!!
timama [110]

Answer:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Explanation:

The movement of the medium is different. In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves have a pressure variation, transverse waves don't have pressure variation. Longitudinal waves can be propagated in solids, liquids and gases, transverse waves can only be propagated in solids and on the surfaces of liquids. Longitudinal waves have a change in density throughout the medium, transverse waves don't.
