Answer:

It is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.

Explanation:

Specific gravity is also known as relative density.

To find the relative density of substance, you:

Divide the density of substance measured

And divide that by the density of the reference

Where would a boat produce the highest concentration of carbon monoxide?

mr_godi [17]

A boat would produce the highest concentration of carbon monoxide in the exhaust system.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to hemoglobic animals (both invertebrate and vertebrate, including humans) when encountered in concentrations above about 35 ppm.

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

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as,

$f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})$

Here,

$f_0$ = Frequency of Source

$v_s$ = Speed of sound

f = Frequency heard before slowing down

f' = Frequency heard after slowing down

v = Speed of the train before slowing down

So if the speed of the train after slowing down will be v/2, we can do a system equation of 2x2 at the two moments, then,

The first equation is,

$f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})$

$300 = f_0 (\frac{343}{343-v})$

$(300*343) - 300v = 343f_0$

Now the second expression will be,

$f' = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v/2})$

$290 = (343)(\frac{v_0}{343-v/2})$

$290*343-145v = 343f_0$

Dividing the two expression we have,

$\frac{(300*343) - 300v}{290*343-145v} = 1$

Solving for v, we have,

$v = 22.12m/s$

Therefore the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12m/s
