Physics
1 answer:
amm18123 years ago

Answer:true

Explanation:

Displacement is the vector representation of a change in position. It is path independent and is equivalent to the straight line distance between the start and end locations. Distance is a scalar quantity that reflects the path traveled.

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of the train using the Doppler equation:

f = f_{0}\frac{v + v_{o}}{v - v_{s}}        

Where:

f₀: is the emitted frequency

f: is the frequency heard by the observer  

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

v_{o}: is the speed of the observer = 0 (it is heard in the town)

v_{s}: is the speed of the source =?

The frequency of the train before slowing down is given by:

f_{b} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}  (1)                  

Now, the frequency of the train after slowing down is:

f_{a} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}   (2)  

Dividing equation (1) by (2) we have:

\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}}{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}}

\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - v_{s_{b}}}   (3)  

Also, we know that the speed of the train when it is slowing down is half the initial speed so:

v_{s_{b}} = 2v_{s_{a}}     (4)

Now, by entering equation (4) into (3) we have:

\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - 2v_{s_{a}}}  

\frac{300 Hz}{290 Hz} = \frac{343 m/s - v_{s_{a}}}{343 m/s - 2v_{s_{a}}}

By solving the above equation for v_{s_{a}} we can find the speed of the train after slowing down:

v_{s_{a}} = 11.06 m/s

Finally, the speed of the train before slowing down is:

v_{s_{b}} = 11.06 m/s*2 = 22.12 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.                        

I hope it helps you!

Leya [2.2K]

In order to draw the free body diagram, first let's calculate the friction force acting on the crate:

\begin{gathered} F_f=N\cdot\mu \\ F_f=40\cdot9.8\cdot0.7 \\ F_f=274.4\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Since the friction force is greater than the force applied, the crate will not move, and the friction force will be equal to the force applied.

The weight force is equal to 40 * 9.8 = 392 N.

So, drawing the diagram, we have:
