As the train blows its whistle towards you, the wavelength is shorter than the sound of the whistle at rest.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

Wavelength is the distance traveled by a wave in a given period of time.

Relationship between wavelength, speed and frequency of sound

v = fλ

where;

v is the speed of the sound
f is the frequency of the sound
λ is the wavelength of the sound

As the frequency of the sound increases, the wavelength of the sound decreases.

Thus, as the train blows its whistle towards you, the wavelength is shorter than the sound of the whistle at rest.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

(a) Elongation of the rod==5.61×10⁻⁹m

(b) Change in diameter=1.640×10⁻⁸m

Explanation:

Given data

Diameter d=78 in=1.9812 m

Cross Area is:

$A=(\pi /4)d^{2} \\A=(\pi /4)(1.9812m)^{2}\\A=3.08m^{2}$

Applied Load P=17 KN=17×10³N

E=29 × 106 psi=1.99947961×10¹¹Pa

Stress and Strain in x direction

Stress in x direction

σ=P/A

$=\frac{17*10^{3}N }{3.08m^{2} }\\ =5517.25Pa$

σ=5517.25 Pa

Strain in x direction

ε=σ/E

$=\frac{5517.25}{1.99947961*10^{11} } \\=2.76*10^{-8}$

ε=2.76×10⁻⁸

Part (a)

Elongation of the rod=Lε

=(0.2032)(2.76×10⁻⁸)

Elongation of the rod==5.61×10⁻⁹m

Part(b) Change in diameter

Strain in y direction

ε₁= -vε

ε₁= -(0.30)(2.76×10⁻⁸)

ε₁=-8.28×10⁻⁹

Change in diameter=d×ε₁

Change in diameter=(1.9812m)×(-8.28×10⁻⁹)

Change in diameter=1.640×10⁻⁸m

In a $100$ meter track event, Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds before Beatrice does. If it

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

10s

Explanation:

If it took Beatrice 25 seconds to complete the race

Distance = 100 meter

Beatrice speed = 100/25

= 4m/s

If Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds, she must have completed the race in 20s (25 -5).

Her speed where constant

= 100/20

= 5 m/s

It would take Alice

= 50/5

= 10s

It would take Alice 10s to run $50$ meters.
