Answer:
Problem 1) frequency: 160 heartbeats per minute, period= 0.00625 minutes (or 0.375 seconds)
Problem 2) Runner B has the smallest period
Problem 3) The sound propagates faster via a solid than via air, then the sound of the train will arrive faster via the rails.
Step-by-step explanation:
The frequency of the football player is 160 heartbeats per minute.
The period is (using the equation you showed above):
second problem:
Runner A does 200 loops in 60 minutes so his frequency is:
loops per minute
then the period is: 0.3 minutes (does one loop in 0.3 minutes)
the other runner does 200 loops in 65 minutes, so his frequency is:
loops per minute
then the period is:
Therefore runner B has the smaller period
Answer:
8.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Normally, to find the distance between two points, you would use the distance formula, but these two points have the same x-coordinate, meaning they will form a vertical line when connected. To find the length of a vertical line you find the distance between the y-coordinates, in this case -4.7 and 4.1. Finding the distance is the same as finding the absolute value of the difference:
|4.1 -(-4.7)|
|4.1 + 4.7|
|8.8|
8.8
Let x be the length of the train.
On the basis of the observer;
Speed of the train = x/6
On the basis of the bridge;
Total distance covered by any point of the train= 350+x
Speed = (350+x)/20
Equating the two expressions of speed;
x/6 = (350+x)/20
20(x) = 6(350+x)
20x = 2100+6x
(20-6)x = 2100
14x = 2100
x= 2100/14 = 150 m
Speed = x/6 = (350+x)/20 = 150/6 = 500/20 = 25 m/s.
Therefore,
Length of train = 150 m
Speed of train = 25 m/s
