A trumpet player on a moving railroad flatcar moves toward a second trumpet player standing alongside the track both play a 490

Hz note. The sound waves heard by a stationary observer between the two players have a beat frequency of 2.0 beats/s. What is the flatcar's speed? Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.

Answer:

The value is $v_s = 1.394 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequency of the second player is $f_2 = 490 \ Hz$

The beat frequency is $f_b = 2.0 \ Hz$

The speed of sound is $v_s = 343 \ m/s$

Generally the frequency of the note played by the first player is mathematically represented as

$f_1 = f_2 + f_b$

=> $f_1 = 490 + 2.0$

=> $f_1 = 492 Hz$

From the relation of Doppler Shift we have that

$f_1 = \frac{ f_2 (v+ v_o )}{v-v_s }$

Here $v_o\ is\ the\ velocity\ of\ the\ observer\ with\ value\ 0 \ m/s$

So

$492 = \frac{ 490 (343+0 )}{343 -v_s }$

=> $v_s = 1.394 \ m/s$

A car drives 16 miles south and then 12 miles west. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement? 4 miles 16 miles 20 miles 2

Ostrovityanka [42]

For this case, what we can do is use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the displacement of the car.
We have then
$d ^ 2 = 16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2
$
From here, we clear the value of d.
We have then:
$d = \sqrt{16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2} 
$
Rewriting:
$d = \sqrt{256 + 144}$
$d = \sqrt{400}$
$d = 20 miles
$
Answer:
The magnitude of the car's displacement is:
d = 20 miles

Kamila [148]

Answer:

zero or 2π is maximum

Explanation:

Sine waves can be written

x₁ = A sin (kx -wt + φ₁)

x₂ = A sin (kx- wt + φ₂)

When the wave travels in the same direction

Xt = x₁ + x₂

Xt = A [sin (kx-wt + φ₁) + sin (kx-wt + φ₂)]

We are going to develop trigonometric functions, let's call

a = kx + wt

Xt = A [sin (a + φ₁) + sin (a + φ₂)

We develop breasts of double angles

sin (a + φ₁) = sin a cos φ₁ + sin φ₁ cos a

sin (a + φ₂) = sin a cos φ₂ + sin φ₂ cos a

Let's make the sum

sin (a + φ₁) + sin (a + φ₂) = sin a (cos φ₁ + cos φ₂) + cos a (sin φ₁ + sinφ₂)

to have a maximum of the sine function, the cosine of fi must be maximum

cos φ₁ + cos φ₂ = 1 +1 = 2

the possible values of each phase are

φ1 = 0, π, 2π

φ2 = 0, π, 2π,

so that the phase difference of being zero or 2π is maximum

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Power output: W=1426.9MW

Explanation:

The power output of the falls is given mainly by its change in potential energy:

$Q=-P_{tot}=-(P_{2}-P_{1})$

The potential energy for any point can be calculated as:

$P=m*g*h$

If we consider the base of the falls to be the reference height, at point 2 h=0, so P2=0, and height at point 1 equals 52m:

$Q=P_{1}=m*g*h$

If we replace m with the mass rate M we obtain the rate of change in potential energy over time, so the power generated:

$W=M*g*h=2.8*10^{3}m^{3}/s*1*10^{3}kg/m^{3}*9.8m/s^{2}*52m =1426.9MW$
