Two train whistles have identical frequencies of 220 Hz. When one train is at rest in the station sounding its whistle, a beat f

requency of 10.0 Hz is heard from the other train that is approaching the station. What is the speed of the approaching train? Assume that the speed of sound is 340 m/s.

Answer:

Speed of the approaching train = 15.45 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency F0 = 220 Hz

Beat frequency F1 = 10.0 Hz

Find:

Speed of the approaching train

Computation:

Approaching frequency F2 = 220 + 10.0 Hz

Approaching frequency F2 = 230 Hz

Doppler shift;

F = [(v+v0)/(v-vS)]F0

230 = [(340+v0)/(340-0)]220

V0 = 15.45 m/s

Speed of the approaching train = 15.45 m/s

andre [41]

Answer

t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

Heat\ Supplied\ By \ Heater = Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Glass + Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Water\\Pt = m_gC_g\Delta T_g + m_wC_w\Delta T_w\\

where,

P = Electric Power of Heater =  300 W

t = time required = ?

m_g = mass of glass = 300 g = 0.3 kg

m_w = mass of water = 250 g = 0.25 kg

C_g = speicific heat of glass = 840 J/kg.°C

C_w =  specific heatof water = 4184 J/kg.°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = Change in Temperature of Glass and water = 100°C - 15°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = 85°C

Therefore,

(300\ W)(t) = (0.3\ kg)(840\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)+(0.25\ kg)(4184\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)\\

<u>t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min</u>

Vikki [24]

Answer:

2697.75N/m

Explanation:

Step one

This problem bothers on energy stored in a spring.

Step two

Given data

Compression x= 2cm

To meter = 2/100= 0.02m

Mass m= 0.01kg

Height h= 5.5m

K=?

Let us assume g= 9.81m/s²

Step three

According to the principle of conservation of energy

We know that the the energy stored in a spring is

E= 1/2kx²

1/2kx²= mgh

Making k subject of formula we have

kx²= 2mgh

k= 2mgh/x²

k= (2*0.01*9.81*5.5)/0.02²

k= 1.0791/0.0004

k= 2697.75N/m

Hence the spring constant k is 2697.75N/m
